Does anyone live in The Marquis Apartments in Mid City (NOLA)?

Nothing beats The Saulet when it comes to New Orleans apartments.

I'd honestly look elsewhere. That's not a great part of town. Tulane and S. Broad on a week night is scary.

those apartments aren't convenient to anything. It's not a walkable/bikeable area at all.

I looked up the price and there are better places in that range. Some apartments downtown can be had for around that price. The Preserve is a little down Tulane is much better than those.

Or even know someone that lives there and can tell me about this place?

I lived there when I was in law school. I loved it. Great location as far as proximity to interstate, mid-city, and downtown New Orleans.

Crime happens everywhere in New Orleans now so I wouldn't worry about that. It has gated, covered, parking and you need a code to get into the resident's parking area or access the elevator.

I had no issues there. Easy walk to LSU and Tulane Med. If you walk down Poydras during the daytime you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

FYI When I lived there it was perfect home base for Mardi-Gras, with easy access to mid-city and downtown parades.

And as far as late night walking. I've walked home from during Mardi Gras drunken nights and walked from The Metro NYE party with no issues (when I couldn't get a cab). Long walk, but never felt unsafe.

I moved from Tchoup near Frankie and Johnnys/Childrens Hospital to the Marquis. Both were great locations for different reasons.

ETA: Also if you need to you can walk to Saints/Pels games and be home before anyone else in a car. And the Sheriff's office is right next door to the apartment, as is the courthouse.

I wouldn't live in that area.

It's not walkable at all really, so it kinda takes away from the convenient location.

I lived in the Marquis and this girl I was cool with/messed around with lived in the Marquis as well. She went to LSU Med school and roomed with a girl who was at Tulane School of public health .

My old gf used to live in the Preserve.

My best friend's current girlfriend lives there now.

I've spent many a night at the Preserve and I prefer the Marquis.

I don't know that you will find someone able to give you more knowledgable first-hand insight on either place. I lived at the Marquis for 2-3 years and spent at least 50-100 nights at the Preserve.

Any complaint people make about the neighborhood and area of the Marquis, they need to say the same EXACT thing about the Preserve. Otherwise they're just flat out lying.

It's mid-city New Orleans. You got rich folks and you got poor folks. You got folks with professional degrees and one block away you have professional criminals. This is what New Orleans is today.

You can get your car broken anywhere and you can get robbed at gunpoint in some of the nicest restaurants. Just go with your gut and make the best decision for you.

I really appreciate it gator, I will definitely be taking your thoughts and advice under heavy consideration
