City Square 162 Apartments

City Square 162 is a new affordable housing development project in the Treme neighborhood. Located on the site of a former Winn-Dixie, the newly-completed building offers 76 one- and two-bedroom units. The community features a fitness facility, a multi-purpose community/meeting room with a business area, and a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly greenway along North Villere Street that connects the Lafitte Greenway to the site and to the adjacent Bienville Basin community. The units have energy-efficient appliances, high-speed internet and cable access.

City Square 162 is part of a redevelopment and revitalization plan that began with Bienville Basin, a mixed-income, mixed-use community built by HRI Properties on the site of the former Iberville Public Housing Development.

Inside a new apartment. It is empty and the blinds are open on all three of its large windows. Above, several fan lights have been turned on. The walls are painted a soft blue.
A hallway inside the new apartment complex. The walls are white and it is brightly lit, both by its inset ceiling lights and by the tall windows into the empty room beside it. At the end of the hall is a keycard-protected wooden door with a glass panel in the middle, with a strip of blue painter's tape on the glass.

A peaceful corner in a new apartment bedroom. A fan hangs from the high ceiling with a soft light, and sunlight streams in through the tall window to create rectangles of light on the white wall and the light wood flooring.
A kitchen space in a new apartment. The room is empty and lit by a large double window in one wall. Dark wood cabinets and chrome appliances are inset into an alcove in one wall and lit by an inset light in the ceiling of the alcove. Beside the kitchen wall is an open space that could be used as a dining area, with a fan and light hanging from the ceiling. An open door in the background leads into another room.
An interior hallway. The walls are painted white, with a circuit breaker box on one side, and there are round hanging lights at intervals going down the hallway. On both sides, doors are set into alcoves, and at the end is a glass door with an Exit sign above it.
An exterior view of the new City Square 162 building. The corners of the building are done in brown brick, side-by-side with modern walls in gray, blue, and white. The sidewalks are tidy and accessible, and small trees and streetlights line the road and parking areas.
A blue-and-yellow playground area behind the apartment complex, built atop blue safety padding and surrounded by low black iron fencing. A bike rack stands to one side, empty.
