NEIGHBORHOODS
We're bringing the neighborhood back to life.
River Ranch, built around a central Town Square, is made up of several intimate and diverse neighborhoods. A no soliciting policy is strictly enforced in all neighborhoods.
The hub of life in River Ranch, the Town Center is ideal for working professionals both single and married. With luxury townhouses, condominiums, and apartments built above retail and commercial businesses, this prime location is the perfect balance between the energy of city life and the relaxed pace of a friendly neighborhood. The Town Square, built around a village green is also the site of special events year-round, including the Big Easel Art Festival along with Rhythms on the River and numerous other concerts and musical performances.
Uptown
This delightful neighborhood was built with New Orleans' Garden District in mind. The architectural style born from the marriage of French and Spanish influences is seen at every turn. From the neoclassical columns and wrought iron balconies to the intimate courtyards with fountains and lush tropical plantings, Uptown has it all! Adjacent to the City Club and the Town Center, residents have walking access to everything River Ranch offers.
The Crescent Apartments
The Crescent Apartments bring the style and spirit of New Orleans to River Ranch's Town Center. French Quarter architecture and details find a variety of retail shops and commercial businesses on the first floor with luxury apartments on upper levels overlooking the lake.
Mill House
Mill House condominiums take their design cue from the fashionable Warehouse District in New Orleans with spacious interiors and beautiful custom details. Antique long leaf pine floors, 10' ceilings, granite counter tops, large walk-in closets and European glass light fixtures are just some of the luxurious amenities that make Mill House one of the most desirable addresses in the city. And it's all in walking distance of the City Club and the Town Center.

This neighborhood includes three beautifully landscaped boulevards, which serve as neighborhood parks, all lined with garden homes.
