718 Barracks St

A low-rise historic condominium property in New Orleans’ French Quarter, this three-story building dates to 1861 and collects a small number of one-bedroom residences around shared interior and exterior courtyards. Architectural character is traditional Quarter: high ceilings (commonly 10–12 feet), original hardwood floors, guillotine-style or tall French doors and period moldings with occasional exposed beams and decorative fireplace mantels. Units are compact, typically organized as single-bedroom plans with efficient kitchens featuring granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, full baths, and in some cases a half bath or bonus sleeping alcove. Common areas emphasize outdoor living—a gated entry, planted courtyard with fountain, patios, and private or building-access balconies/galleries—plus practical amenities such as a communal laundry room and well-funded association reserves. The property mix includes freestanding condo configurations and units with private outdoor pools in rare instances. Services are modest: no full-time concierge or doorman, limited on-site parking, and association-managed maintenance. Located on a quieter residential strip of the Vieux Carré, the building places residents within immediate walking distance of Royal and Bourbon streets, riverfront promenades, cafés and galleries while retaining a comparatively tranquil, neighborhood feel.
