Worldmark Avenue Plaza

The Resort & Its Setting

WorldMark Avenue Plaza is part of the WorldMark by Wyndham collection, a points-based vacation ownership system rather than a fixed-week resort. Owners draw on vacation credits to book stays here or elsewhere in the WorldMark portfolio, and the resort's RCI affiliation adds a further layer of exchange flexibility for owners who fancy a change of scenery in a given year. It sits within New Orleans itself, putting owners close to the energy of the French Quarter rather than out on a suburban fringe.

New Orleans: The Area and Things to Do

New Orleans needs little introduction — it's one of the most distinctive cities in the United States, shaped by French, Spanish, African and American influences that show up in everything from the architecture to the food to the music drifting out of open doorways. The French Quarter and its famous Bourbon Street, Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral are around 2 km (just over a mile) from the resort, as is the New Orleans Jazz Museum and the beignet queues at Café du Monde. St. Charles Avenue, with its streetcar line, oak-lined mansions and the Garden District, is about 3 km (roughly 2 miles) away, as is the National WWII Museum. Further out, roughly 5 km (about 3 miles), Audubon Park offers walking trails, the Audubon Zoo and Aquarium, and some welcome green space away from the French Quarter crowds. It's a city best covered on foot in the older neighbourhoods, with ride-sharing and public transit filling the gaps.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're considering listing your WorldMark Avenue Plaza ownership, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list for a one-time fee, and pay 0% commission on the sale — buyers contact you directly through the platform rather than going through a broker.

On the transfer side, WorldMark by Wyndham resale brokers list a transfer fee of $399 in their 2025–2026 price lists, and a typical broker-handled transfer takes about six weeks to complete. No right of first refusal has been documented for WorldMark resales, so sellers aren't required to offer the resort first refusal before selling privately.

A few things matter for anyone buying or selling a resale week here. WorldMark's Club Pass exchange program is limited to developer-purchased vacation credits, so a resale buyer typically won't have Club Pass access through a resold contract. Likewise, owners report that VIP and TravelShare status benefits don't transfer to a new owner outside the family — they stay with the original purchasing family rather than passing along with the credits. Buyers should go in with clear expectations: you're acquiring the underlying vacation credits and use rights, not necessarily the elevated perks tied to the original purchase.

For renters, what matters most is simply availability — having clear dates, confirming how many vacation credits a stay will require, and knowing whether the booking comes through the owner's WorldMark account or an RCI exchange reservation.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone weighing up a purchase should ask the seller directly about current annual maintenance fees and how many vacation credits are attached to the ownership, since these figures vary by contract and aren't standardised across all WorldMark ownerships. It's also worth confirming in writing what exchange and loyalty benefits, if any, will carry over before money changes hands.
