John Goodman’s iconic Garden District mansion is officially under contract, but he’s not saying goodbye to New Orleans. After years in the historic Joseph Merrick Jones House—complete with a saltwater pool and hand-painted floors—Goodman and his wife are simply downsizing, not leaving. The couple, who bought the home from Trent Reznor in 2005, still call New Orleans home and plan to stay in the city. For longtime residents, it’s a reminder of how deeply some stars root themselves in our neighborhoods. What do you think—does a celebrity neighbor change the vibe of your block? #RealEstate #NewOrleans #JohnGoodman
