No I went to SPS and I really liked it. I then went to LSU and graduated in PETE so SPS has served me well. However, there is no comparison in the education you receive from SPS and Jesuit. Their course load is much much more difficult and they used to be superior in athletics, although SPS is making some serious head way. I had several friends that attended both it this was the consensus for everyone.

New Orleans has better education
Not without forking over cash for it. NOLA public schools suck. I would take the Northshore if I had to make a choice having a family.

I can only imagine how much some of those houses go for along the lake in Mandeville.

Southdown?
is old as shite. Sanctuary?
Riverfront homes etc..
Not splitting hairs or trying to compare ns vs ss just saying your statement is false. (although St Charles Ave Im sure if more expensive than anywhere)
NS and SS are two different worlds. I think comparing them or arguing which is better is stupid.

I'm very familiar with TCC, my sister and her family bought there about a year ago and my parents own a lot in the new section and just closed on a house on the course this month. The new lots on the course can be had for $160,000. You can't even get a postage stamp lot in Lakeview, Warehouse, Garden District, Uptown for that.
I was very close to buying a big lot in Natchez Trace about 2 years ago and it was only $130,000. I know they are still close to that.
Yes I meant Sanctuary, not Southdown. Sanctuary you can easily get a lot for $160,000-$175,000 and it is HUGE compared to the Southshore lots.
I love the Northshore and will probably move back there one day. One thing I like about it is how much you save living over there. I am not knocking it, its just the truth.

Would upvote 100x if possible.

There can be a big diiference in the quality of education even within a single school. Mostly honors course versus none is a big difference.

I agree areas of NOLA are definitely more expensive but your original post said nowhere on NS is even close and that's just not accurate. Several areas on the northshore are very similar to uptown/lakeview/old metry prices.
I am not knocking it, its just the truth.

I'd have to get a very significant raise to want to commute over that bridge every day, so I'll stay in my Southshore Uptown non-mansion house for now.

Exactly all those ppl from Mandeville and Madisonville that travel to the city for work drive cross that bridge like they are fricking possessed.

New Orleans is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

Nah the Natchez house that are on the market are around $180 per square, I don't see a single one for $200 per square. Those are huge lots and almost 4000 square feet! There is no way you are getting a new build 3000 sq ft house in Lakeview, old metry, uptown for less than $600,000. Then on top of that the taxes and insurance are very high.
Take a look at what you can get in Beau Chene on a golf course compared to what you get for a 5000 square foot lot home in Lakeview. I wish I was wrong, trust me.

Beau Chene? Almost everything is 30+ years old...
I don't think you're familiar with all of the ns areas but who cares anyway.
Either way... we've spent enough time on this ignorance.

You'd be a fool to buy in Lakeview now, period. Wait till interest rates rise and those homes wont sell. Anyway, most of the new construction in Lakeview is rather cheap. Not all, but most.
I dont know what field you work in but new construction can be done in Lakeview for less than you state.

Good question. The Northshore area, mostly Madisonville and Old Mandeville, but maybe some select portions of Covington and Mandeville, have some cute lake-front and gated homes, but nothing I would really consider "high-end" like some of the homes in Uptown, Downtown, and the Lower Garden District.
If you have the finances, crime and schools really are not an issue in New Orleans. All the private schools are quite affordable and if you have the resources, you can elect to shield yourself from the poor who tend to dabble in blue collar crime.
The Northhshore in general seems to be full of too many rich-envy poor want-to-be elites who can't just quite seem to get everything in order to correctly live in the New Orleans Metropolitan area. It offers a bland kind of living that can be experienced really anywhere else in the United States, so if a true high-end experience is what the resident is looking for, can't really believe someone would willingly choose the Northshore area. Also, the Northhsore doesn't offer horse racing, which is the end-all be-all of high-end living. Have to visit the Fairgrounds!
The fact you are using Southshore as a term in and of itself may show you aren't quite ready for the move yourself as rarely any true New Orleanians ever use that term, but that's ok. Being high-end isn't a skill or attribute acquired overnight. It takes work, effort, and grit!!!
Some Uptowners do these tours once a year where they take in people to tour their homes to show other people how glamorous it is to experience the elite way of life. Is a real treat for a lot of people out there. Might be something to look into and give you a goal to strive toward.
Chin up!
