Faubourg Marigny Area

I am thinking of staying at a house at 1722 Pauger Street in the Faubourg Marigny area. The house has gated parking and I have read that the Marigny is in a pretty good area. In some of the forums I read that anything north of North Rampart is not as safe. This house is just north of North Rampart but before St. Claude.

Although I will be taking cabs to and from tourist areas at night I would appreciate any comments on this neighborhood. Thanks.

I personally have stayed at that exact property and am staying there again this month. I%26#39;ve never had a problem walking there to the tourist areas at night or day time. I found it to be a very nice spot close enough to the fun it was a short walk but far enough it was fairly quiet at night. I really enjoyed it myself.

In the Marigny, being that close to Rampart requires a cab at night. No question.

You can walk to Marigny Triangle (btwn Esplanade and Elysian Fields) locations on Dauphine Street down to the river. North of Dauphine is a much dicier area, in my opinion.

Thanks Princess and Local Expert. Without questions, as in any large city I would be taking a taxi in the evening but could you describe the area for a multi-week stay? Is it all residential?...mix of business and residence? Is the area in need of renovations or well kept? Not sure what dicey means? Are you referring to walking at night or the area in general? Thanks.

Just across St. Claude Avenue is ';the %26#39;hood'; which is not nice at all! Be very careful and aware of those you see walking down the street and you%26#39;ll be fine... And once again, CABS at night is a good idea!

North Rampart is the lakeside border of the French Quarter but it%26#39;s not the lakeside border of the Marigny Triangle. The lakeside border of the Marigny Triangle is St. Claude, and North Rampart is one full block inside the triangle from St. Claude. You%26#39;re only 4 to 5 blocks from the clubs and restaurants on Frenchmen St. The neighborhood is a good one. Of course, a few blocks over, on the other side of St. Claude, the neighborhood deteriorates rapidly. A cab at night is probably a good idea.

This afternoon, I jogged by 1722 Pauger. It%26#39;s a really nice house in a really poor area, in my opinion. It%26#39;s almost at the corner of St. Claude Avenue, which is ';borderline undesirable'; in my mind. I%26#39;m sure many people stay there with absolutely no issues whatsoever but, to be honest, I wouldn%26#39;t let my family do it.

Sorry to be so blunt!

As CajunWave indicated, I too would be extremely reluctant to stay in that section. Why take the chance.

I%26#39;ll defer on this one to CajunWave, who%26#39;s a local and who has ';eyes on the ground.';

Did you end up staying there? I%26#39;m thinking about it now.

No I did not. In the end I figured that it staying in the French Quarter would be more convenient.

I did, however, receive an email from Princessofpain74 who just stayed there and she said that she enjoyed her stay. That was here second visit at this place. She walked neighborhood in the evening and never felt that it was dangerous. The place is very well kept, clean and the owner is very nice. Your call.
