It's boring.
For mid 30s couple, try Uptown, the warehouse district, or Broadmoor. Much of mid-city and the Bywater might be a little too much to deal with for people in their mid 30s.

great area to raise kids or just to live. Downside is high taxes with little return on what you pay.
Streets are horrible, in most spots and constantly torn up and made worse by the S&WB.
Houses there are very nice, but Lakshore and Lake Vista is more desirable as far as lot value.
There are restaurants and bars in the area and it's close to mid-city and metaire and borders city park.
Getting downtown or Uptown is pretty easy. Lowest crime area in the city.
Most crimes are against property and they have little to no violent crime spikes.
Depends what you are looking for, a case can be made for multiple areas.

Like many areas of New Orleans, that area is in very high demand.
It is a great location, but some people are turned off by how bad the streets are compared to the expensive arse prices.

Lakeview is popular, but overpriced due to it being trendy with yuppies and wannabe yuppies. If you like the area, better value in my mind is to buy in Lake Vista or Lakeshore (East) or even Lake Terrace.
If you buy in lakeview, I would buy in between robert e lee, harrison, argonne and canal.

fricking love living in Lakeview 
Posted on 7/25/14 at 12:21 pm to Clint Torres
Do y'all plan on having kids? If so, Lakeview is great. If not, live in MidCity, Warehouse District, or Uptown. Marigny/Bywater if you're hipsters.

Kenilworth >>> Lakeview >> Joe Brown, Goretti, Milne

I bet you can find a 3/2 in the Irish Channel for ~400k. Will need some work, though.

Lakeview is trashy.
Posted on 7/25/14 at 12:53 pm to Clint Torres
I don't see why someone would pay so much extra to live in Lakeview. You're not really within walking distance to anything, except for that row of businesses on Harrison. Why not just live in Metairie and save a ton of money?
Posted on 7/25/14 at 12:54 pm to Clint Torres
I think it's a crappy area with bad bad roads. But of course, I'm not from nola so apparently I don't know what's nice.
Posted on 7/25/14 at 1:27 pm to Clint Torres
Lakeview is nice. Have a ton of friends in lakeview
Posted on 7/25/14 at 1:28 pm to Clint Torres
I grew up there back in the 70-early 80s and loved it. Great place then...don't know now. Should be nice.

I've lived in Lakeview for most of my life (about 30 years).
What questions do you have?
Property taxes have gone up a LOT since Katrina.
Streets are horrible.
It does seem a lot more safe sine Katrina.
Houses and lots are getting more expensive every day.
What questions do you have?

Also, if your budget is $900k, this is what you can get Uptown. You'd never have to move out of this (just update kitchen):

I lived in Lakeview once (before Katrina). It is nice enough, but I prefer uptown. If you have kids... for the mid 300s, Lakeview might be a better bet.

Lived here for about a year now
Pros:
Very safe
No noise
Easy drive to work (downtown)
Nice houses
Neighborhood bar so I don't have to drive
Cons:
Streets suck
Prop taxes are very high
Farther drive for Winn Dixie and gas
