I can assure you many young professionals make the money to live there

Money goes a lot farther with no kids

You don’t need to be making 6 figures to afford these apartments if you’re single with no kids


I disagree. In a major metro where young professionals start at $120-160k, sure. In NOLA, where you start at $75k-100k, I wouldn't want to pay $1700 plus parking for a 1br apartment. If you're talking exclusively doctors in that "young professionals" category, then sure.

Domain are one of the companies bidding to redevelop the wasteland opposite the convention center. Did a decent job with South Market so I wouldn't be opposed to them winning that either. DT needs more of these developments with modern retail, residential and office space. I can see the attraction for some, especially people in my age group (late 20s/early 30s) with no responsibilties and being close to the vibrancy of the nightlife, the stadiums, offices etc.

I feel like the young professionals in New Orleans pulling down $75k - $100k are few and far between.

I can tell you from past firsthand experience that you don’t need six figures if youre single with no kids to afford these places

You can easily dispose of half your yearly income on a place to live if you don’t have a big car note or kids. Great investment? No, but certainly doable
