I have never lived outside of Tejas. However, my firm asked around for a replacement for our, now retired, SE LA rep, and I put my name in the hat.

Considering my friends and some distant family not far away (Lafayette), I was chosen as the best candidate and accepted.

So let me have it natives.. where to live, etc.? Single, no kids.

I'm a firm believer that everyone should experience living in the Quarter for at least 1 year.

Especially while still being young and single.


After that, look Warehouse District or Uptown.

I'm in the same situation and have lived uptown for the past few years. I prefer having a yard and not having to take an elevator to my apt, pay for parking, etc. Whs district is fun but you'll get more bang for your buck renting uptown. I have a ten minute commute to the CBD. Just my two cents, I have a pretty even split of friends living uptown vs whs district, both are good for young single people

Anyone who tells you something else is an idiot.

I lived in the WHD 10-15 years ago and it was the tits. Walking distance to so much. Good restaurants, nightlife, coffee shops, etc.

Damn I miss those days.

Lower Garden District is worth a look too. I had a badass place on Erato for under your budget. It was very walk-able.

One of the brand new places in the Southmarket District.

Warehouse District.

Really no other answer for a single dude with no kids.

You should look for a place near bourbon street, the part of bourbon where the street lights don't seem to work as well as the rest of the street.

I feel alone in not caring for the WHD - I need nature in my life, not a concrete jungle.
