Hollygrove, Residential neighborhood in Uptown/Carrollton area, New Orleans, United States.
Hollygrove is a residential neighborhood in the Uptown and Carrollton area of New Orleans, Louisiana, stretching across several city blocks and bordered by a highway to the north and a main avenue to the east. The area consists of single-family homes with front yards, a few smaller shops along the through streets, and several public green spaces and sports facilities.
The settlement became possible after the construction of drainage systems in the 1920s, which dried out the former swampland. What was once a plantation and later a suburban wetland was gradually divided into habitable lots.
The neighborhood feels like a residential area with wide sidewalks and old porches, where families have lived for generations and meet on these streets. At local community centers, residents gather regularly to exchange ideas and organize shared projects that shape life here.
Visitors will find several public playgrounds and a baseball stadium in the neighborhood, suitable for a walk or a short stay. The streets are quiet and best explored on foot or by bicycle during daylight hours.
An urban farm with a market offers residents vegetables and herbs grown on-site. The operation sits right in the middle of residential streets and supplies the neighborhood directly with fresh food.
