The annual Parade of Homes (June 3&4 and 10&11, 1-5pm), presented by the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans (HBAGNO) is the region’s best opportunity to tour new homes and see the latest in building techniques and industry trends. The Parade is ideal for millennials searching for a first home in a centrally located, walkable neighborhood. It is also great for inspiring ideas for those hoping to renovate an existing home, such as boomers who are planning to remain in their homes and “age in place.” This year’s free event takes place at 25 newly built residences in Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines and St. Bernard Parishes. A full list of homes and their locations can be found at www.nolaPOH.org or in Guide Books located in supermarkets and businesses across the area.
