re: what are your thoughts on Lakeview?

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?

People are starting to do this with Bucktown I think. Though a lot of women still want the cache of saying they live in Lakeview which is funny as that was never the case prior to Katrina.

Well, the good parts of Metairie really aren't a ton cheaper. Not sure if you've seen what is happening in old Metairie, but it is insane what the prices are and they are too.
Even on the lake side of Veterans they are tearing shite down and building $500K houses left and and right.

Because then you have to deal with Metairie traffic.
Lakeview is similar to Metairie but you don't have to deal with that. You can get anywhere pretty fast.
I'd rather pay way more to live in Lakeview over Metairie.
Lived in Lakeview for years, but we just bought a house in Vista Park and really like it.

Because you want to buy somewhere where you home will increase in value (Lakeview, Old Metarie, Uptown, WD, GD, etc.), not Metry or Kenner.
FYI- I do not consider Old Metry as Metairie, they are completely different in price, aesthetics, and basically every other category. I looked at Old Metairie before buying in Lakeview and it was substantially more expensive. The area is awesome though! If it was between there, uptown, or Lakeview I would go with Old Metairie.
