Overview

About French Quarter

French Quarter is one of Wellington’s first townhome neighborhoods, built from 1977 into the mid-1980s. Basin Street takes its name from New Orleans, and the homes are attached townhomes and villas on small fee-simple lots.

The county roll counts 199 homes, all recorded as single-family parcels on lots of about 1,300 square feet, which is how attached townhomes appear on the roll. The median home was built in 1979 and has about 1,580 square feet of living area.

It was recorded in two main plats, French Quarter and French Quarter No. 3, with Shakerwood as a section on Shaker Circle and Shakerwood Lane. Basin Street and Regal Court each run in four short legs named North, South, East and West.

French Quarter sits in the 33414 ZIP in the middle of the village, close to South Shore, the Town Center and the Amphitheater.

Documents to Review Before Closing

  • Before you sign: the association disclosure summary and the parcel’s tax bill, including any non-ad valorem lines
