Agreed and from what I've always heard this will never change. It's hard for people to understand how important one or two blocks makes. I'm in Lakeview proper on Louisville, moved from the Northshore and really like it.

You forgot the "> Jefferson Parish" at the end. But really those neighborhoods are much more similar to each other than most areas of the city. It's not like certain parts of the LGD or Marigny, where you go from fancy houses to literal Section 8 warzones in the space of 200 yards.

Yep. If you live in Lakeview (or close by), you have pretty much decided you don't want to live in Metarie, Kenner or on the North Shore?

I have 4 siblings who have all moved to Metry, Kenner, or the north shore. Not me. Lakeshore all the way!

It's all a matter of taste (some people just have none ).

No more of a lapsed Catholic thanks to the New Orleans Archdiocese catering to pedophiles and queers.

A lot of S8 housing is moving to the East. Property owners can make more selling or renovating and charging higher rents in many parts of the city that just a decade ago were considered "undesirable".

From what I have seen, I think the average is more in the $260-$270 /ft range.

Not for a double such as this

Keep in mind. This is a rental property.

I can't see me paying half of a million dollars for a 2300 square foot home in New Orleans.

You should get out more.

These prices are reflective of what the market will bear. The envy is strong up in here.

5 BR 4.5 bath home (4,900 sf) near my home just sold for $425K. They tore it down and are going back with new Construction. They took out the pool too.

Zillow link

For being a trashy town, people sure seem to be willing to invest in it.


Sid, you and I must live very very close to each other. I saw that house had sold, but didn't realize they paid that much.

I'll be selling my house in the spring, and I hope you're right about property values. I could use a nice gain this time since I took a bath selling my prior house out of state during the housing bust.

I just don't see the high $$ per sq ft values in Lakeshore, though, that you see in Lakeview. Perhaps because most of the houses are older. It's also not as 'young' a neighborhood though I've seen more younger couples with kids on walks lately.

Could you see yourself paying "half million dollars" for a home anywhere?

The landscaping and sidewalk make it look like shite. The house is a little cheesy, but isn't terrible.

Drawing or not. English Turn for $500k sounds better than Bywater for $500k to me.
Except living on the Westbank.
