There are some sections of Gentilly that may revert to forest because they are so…

A gutted house with a green-columned porch stands beside an empty concrete lot, with a white house further back nearly swallowed by overgrown trees and brush.

There are some sections of Gentilly that may revert to forest because they are so overgrown. This photograph is from Warrington Drive near Robert E. Lee. There is a gutted house on the left, an empty lot, and a gutted house that is now completely enclosed by trees. Nevertheless, there are few properties that are this badly overgrown, and most property owners have been making some attempt to maintain their property.
