re: Lakeview NO - Home Pricing Question

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

20% less for a ranch style home built in the 1960s/1970 with 8ft ceilings--no thanks.

Agreed. It’s pretty much the only part of the city that lacks character. I understand people from New Orleans view it as a status symbol of sorts to live there But as someone who didn’t grow up in the city Ive never had the want to live in lakeview at all.

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.
