the reserves are likely built up more and I’d assume assessments aren’t as frequent.

This is a very important aspect many people overlook. You do not want to live in a condo that is poorly ran. You will get hit with special assessments regularly for things that should have bene planned years in advance. Anytime you get serious, ask for the financials, HoA dues history, and special assessment history.

In regards to your question, my vote would be WHD or Lower Garden District. When I graduated from the college bar scenes around the city, I ended up spending most of my night life in these 2 areas.

Edit: Forgot to add, make sure you have off street parking. This was an issue when I was young in the Garden District & Uptown.

This is on my radar. From what I have seen places with parking spaces tack on about 25K to the asking price. My understanding though is that it is definitely worth it.

Do you know if there are resources available to purchase a permanent parking spot exclusive of having it come with the purchase of a unit? Realistically if I were living in the WDH/CBD area I would seldom use my vehicle so having permanent off-street parking not connected to my complex wouldn't be a major issue.
