re: Lakeview NO - Home Pricing Question

It has the lowest crime stats in Orleans parish and it also has highest percentage of young families anywhere in the entire metro area.
I’m walking distance to stores, bars, restaurants, etc. I do enjoy living in Lakeview however I really dislike Orleans parish and would move to Metairie if I left my house. Personally I think the peak of prices has been reached and it will stabilize or go down slightly. There is a ton for sale right now in the area.

Their sidewalks are fricked up too

My MIL broke both of her elbows tripping on the sidewalk at night walking home from El Gato

Ya. Lakeview is an embarrassing place to call home

Really is shocking home many people get duped into living in certain areas

I just dont see that much upside in lakeview compared to anything in metairie east of the causeway, yet you are paying way more for it

Metairie east of Causeway is just as expensive as Lakeview now.

I love living in lakeview. Minutes to city park, central to anything in the area, safest area statistically in the GNO area, tons of good restaurants and other young families, plenty of kids for my kids to play with. It’s a little overpriced, but if that keeps the rest of you bitter poors out then it’s fine by me.

I will never understand the want to live in Lakeview. It makes zero sense. I understand paying high dollar for uptown or the quarter, its old school charm with walk-ability and authentic old houses Lakeview is just another modern neighborhood with none of that and you are paying more money than right across the canal to simply have a new orleans mailing address

This is the most hilarious thing I’ve read ever on TD.

Lakeview is by far the most liveable and safe neighborhood in Orleans Parish. It’s the ONLY neighborhood I would live in New Orleans.

There are a lot of new homes since Katrina, but the majority of the homes are still pre-WWII construction.

The houses, community, and charm are a huge upgrade from the ‘across the canal’ in Metairie.

You ever take Economics 101? Is a little term called “supply and demand” and very, very low interest rates. Look it up instead of posting.

Is Park Island considered Lakeview?

Disagree. Lakeview is practically the Metairie-lite. You get the pain in the arse of having to drive anywhere you want to go in New Orleans that Metairie has, while still having to pay New Orleans prices and deal with New Orleans petty crime bullshite.
