Why not just live in Metairie and save a ton of money?

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.

value ain't just how much you sell it for, but how cheap you get it... Lakeview might be supposedly booming but you have to find the next booming area...

If you define "Old Metairie" as the river side of Metairie Rd only, then it's the nicest area of the city, save maybe Audubon. But a lot of people say "Oh I live in Old Metairie" and they really mean the block behind the Rally's on Bonnabel.

i've had my house for 3 years and could easily sell it for $20k more than what I paid. This is between West Esplanade and Vets towards the end of Vets.

Nice houses in metairie see very quickly
