(CBS/AP)  Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt already have invested in New Orleans, funding a design competition to rebuild hurricane hurricane-ravaged neighborhoods using environmentally friendly designs and construction.

Now they are bringing their much followed, ogled and admired family to the Big Easy.

The couple purchased their fourth home there, a $3.5 million, six-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath mansion in the French Quarter. Jolie told Us Weekly that she and Pitt have moved their three children, Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and 7-month-old Shiloh, to the city where she plans for them to attend school.

"We love it there," Jolie told Us at the Golden Globe Awards. "We're really looking forward to it."

A source told the magazine that Jolie wants to become friends with other "normal" mothers and plans on being a "low-key" mom.

Pitt alluded to the move this summer when he told the media that he and his family were "going to be spending a lot of time down here."

A source told the magazine that the couple hopes that their move will raise awareness for the region and Jolie would like to live in a place where she can continue her charity work.
