You're right to build is much cheaper, unless you're paying $200,000-$240,000 for the lot in Lakeview. You can get cheaper though, especially if you are willing to live in West Lakeview. Even then I'm still seeing a lot of 2,500 square foot living houses priced and selling at $600,000. It's crazy.
One neighborhood on the Northshore is the same price, Terabella. They have very strict building codes and it's a fortune.

1ac 4000sq ft house on the Northshore = $400k
1ac 4000sq ft house in New Orleans = $3 million
40ac 10,000sq ft house on the Northshore = $3 million
10,000sq ft house (small lot) in New Orleans = $5-10 million
Comparable houses in New Orleans are ridiculously more expensive than on the Northshore. I know plenty of people with some of the nicest houses on the Northshore, and they are just as nice, if not more, than ones in New Orleans. Most people don't usually see or know where they are. New Orleans has history and convenience.
If I had a family and had to live in New Orleans, I'd probably stick to NOCC on airline. I am single right now, so I don't mind living down here. When I grow up, I'm definitely moving to the Northshore

50-55x100-110 is rather small, really limits what you can build. Foolish to buy in there now, when lots were 60k...all day.

Agreed but we will probably (maybe a 1% chance) never see that again in our lifetime. I would never buy a newly built house right now in Lakeview but people are, most of the time within hours of when they are listed.
Here are some comps and just remember the lot you will have in Natchez is about twice the size(Like I said, something being cheaper is not a bad thing, I was just answering his question):
Natchez Trace
Lakeview

I didn't want to live in New Orleans because of the taxes, insurance, roads, insects, crime, etc. Bought a house close to Dorignac's a year and a half ago. The only houses that sit on the market in Metairie are the typical small, brick, no window Metairie houses. Took me 6 months to find this one. Was on the market for three days. Four people looked at it, and three offers. Mine was $160/ft
Some areas of Metairie are very hot too. I can hit New Orleans city limits in literally 2 minutes. Downtown in 5. Uptown in 7-10.

Can't find a decent Taylor or shoe cobbler on the north shore.

I like certain parts of Metairie, especially Old Metairie more than I like Lakeview. I just kept referencing Lakeview because that is what I am most familiar with. It always cracks me up seeing people's reactions from out of town when they see Lakeview roads for the first time.

Price per square foot in terrabella is ridiculous.

There's a lot if comedy in the poverty of the north shore.
It is people who are trashy and can't recognize their trashiness.
There are so many families who are house poor leading over spent lives. It's not limited to the north shore but it seems to thrive exceptionally well there. Embalmed looking women who imagine themselves still in college going to bland restaurants.
There are just as many drugs, if not more, done there but the dealers share the same color as the users. there are a lot of bored housewives up there and small town thinking that continues.
New orleans isn't perfect but on any given day you might interact with someone who worked in Sri lanka or grew up in the house their grandparents grew up in. This diversity is an asset professionally and it's much easier to do business with that mindset.
But the house poor north shore people get what they want and they can keep it.

OG Northshore =/= Northshore poor. That was a problem that came at the same time as the traffic

The north shore is getting infested by trash outside of a few select areas. It's not all it is cracked up to be.

I recently visited Nola. It was very old and smelly. There were a ton of homeless people all over the place. One guy was sitting on a street in the French Quarter penetrating his penis into one end of a loaf of French bread. I saw a ton of dirty people playing the banjo and several fried dough stores.
Living in this city would be scary, so we turned to a place that our real estate agent referred us to. This place was called Lakeview. We arrived to Lakeview and within 10 minutes I got a flat tire. This area is suppose to be the "new hot place to live", but how the hell can one even get to their house with craters everywhere? We looked at a beautiful home, but on both sides of the house were 2 houses that are currently abandoned and look like crack houses. So let me buy a 1.7m$ home so I can have two crack houses aside my house! I think not. I told my real estate agent to lose my number, and I drove up to the northshore. I immediately noticed a difference in air quality. The air was so pure. We pulled into a very high end neighborhood with children selling lemonade in their yard! The roads were perfectly smooth and the homes were just gorgeous. I noticed there was hardly any chain restaurants, no homeless people penetrating French breads, and people exercising. Southpoor is a cool place to get drunk and eat fried culture poboys, but the Northshore has so much new life! It's what New Orleans always wanted to be but couldn't because culture holds it down. Sorry guys, but I'm moving to the Northshore....

This thread has made me smile, so much ignorance. However on my phone so going to have to pass.

there are many factors that drive a homebuyers decision, but if it's "Higher end living", a person seeking that would not be caught dead on the Northshore
