Welcome to Dixon

Dixon is a compact, community-driven neighborhood nestled between Mid-City and Hollygrove in Uptown New Orleans. Once part of the McCarty Plantation, the area remained largely undeveloped until the mid-20th century, when residential growth introduced a mix of shotgun homes and small apartment buildings. Despite its modest size, Dixon boasts a strong neighborhood spirit, anchored by the Hollygrove-Dixon Neighborhood Association, which fosters initiatives like community gardens and senior programs. Visitors will find a quiet, residential enclave with easy access to nearby attractions and a glimpse into the city’s enduring community resilience.
