Apartments near LSU medical in New Orleans

My nephew was recently accepted into LSU medical in New Orleans. He will start this fall and I was asked to help find an apartment. Does anyone have any suggestions or reccomendations in this area of New Orleans. Thanks in advance.

Yes. I recommend and suggest to not live there.
He'll be much better off renting somewhere else in the city and traveling when he has to.

that specific area is in a "Renaissance", and it will continue to develope as the hospital district does. I mean, there's a Whole Foods store on North Broad, so that says a lot. But, it was (and may still be) a horrible area of the city for many years.
Affordable housing in a "good" area would be Gentilly Terrace. He may be able to find a duplex for rent at or just under $1000/m.
Regardless where he ends up, if you're gonna be living in New Orleans, you have to be able to take the good with the bad. And, that's anywhere.

Lakeview,
Its a 10 minute commute to school but it greatly lessens the chance he'll be mugged/murdered.

Not near the school. The school offers dorms, but I think that after a year the handful of people in my class that tried them moved out. If he's being funded by his OT baller uncle, warehouse district offers some pretty sweet apartments/condos that are extremely convenient for school. If he's still around college age, Uptown has plenty of housing options and Mid-City (where I lived) is more up and coming and a great place to live. Nowhere in the city is too bad in terms of convenience to the school.
If he doesn't care about being in the city, then honestly you don't have to live right there. Several people lived in Metairie which is no problem after you get a routine down in a few weeks.

All my friends that go there, live in Metairie unless he wants to pay $2K/mo rent.

Dude, he should have already figured this out.

New Orleans has too much too offer to just limit yourself to live near the Med Center...look around Midcity, City Park, Uptown or Warehouse Dist

Commuting from the Northshore is your safest bet.

The Preserve
The Meridian
Crescent Club Condominiums
All three are on Tulane and like a 5 minute drive from the medical district. I wouldn't walk it though. Those are also not the cheapest places so I have no idea what the desired rent is but those are some nice safe places that are close.
There are others but those are three I am familiar with.

What's his budget? If it's pretty high, I'd live in one of those new apartments in the South Market District. He could walk to school from there and is close to a grocery store, the Superdome, smoothie king center, and the warehouse district bars and restaurants.
My wife goes to LSUHSC and we live uptown, it's not a bad drive, but the street construction sucks right now.

He'd be better off commuting from the complexes in River Ridge.

Lakeview is a great spot for med students. Head right up Canal with no traffic every day and be there in 10 minutes. Also, it is very quiet for them which they need.

Tell him to:
1) do camp tiger and talk to the outgoing 1st years
2) join his class's facebook group and wait for the 4th years to start offering up their old places before they move out for residency
Lots of people live in The Saulet. There's a couple of complexes on Tulane that aren't bad buildings. There's one on Poydras and Broad that I don't know the name of either. I know a few girls that have lived by themselves in buildings around there and never had any real problems. A buddy of mine lived in a building on Tulane between 10 and Broad and once had someone run into the elevator with him yelling about how someone had just gotten shot on the street and she was running inside to get away. That's probably the only actual incident I've ever heard of, but most of my friends who lived in the area spent a lot of time at school, coffee shops outside the area, and their rooms in their building. They didn't spend all that much time out a and about on Tulane or the like. One did ride her bike at night recently and mention that she felt very unsafe doing so.

At least the first semester in the dorm. With so much time you spend in the gross anatomy lab you don't waste time on commuting. Lithette #2 did this and honored gross anatomy. <not a subtle bit of boosting>
