re: When it comes to real estate, is New Orleans the strangest case in the US?

Yea dude, I'm not in a shotgun house or mixed income apartment building or whatever, uptown, for $1650 for a 3 BR. Not sure what exactly the OP is looking for.
One BRs are gonna be high, but the best way to find a place at a good price is to ride around looking for "for rent" signs and start making calls.

A lot of rentals in New Orleans don't appear online. The good stuff goes fast too. You have to drive around the neighborhoods.
This.
The places that are all shotgun houses for rent for comparatively cheap are probably not places you want to be living. Unless you like bars on your windows.

New Orleans seems to have pretty much either shotgun-style converted houses throughout Uptown and Audobon or these mixed income buildings in the CBD, Mid City, and also in Central City and in the vicinity of Gert Town
Way too much of a generalization with this crap. Do a little research. There is much less mixed income stuff that you are noting and much more normal single family and normal rent situations.

I never advertise my rentals online. Word of mouth and a sign out front gets me what I want.
Btw, I'm getting just under $1 per square foot right now for 2 bedroom 1 bath split level double 1500 sq ft per unit, with off street parking and big backyard. I'm about to sink a little money in it and hope to be getting $1 per square foot within the next year or so.
The outlook is great for the rental market in Midcity right now.

Well if you have a rental opening up soon let me know! I'm trying to find something in Mid city for when I start dental school in a few months and I keep seeing shite holes or shotgun houses.

This is what I did. I live in a good part of Uptown, and not in a shotgun. Renovated 1 BR for less than $1500.

Try looking on walk score. They have pretty good listings that aren't everywhere.

I've done about as much research as possible for someone not on the ground in New Orleans, through multiple websites, checking out the locations and histories of the buildings, and browsing City Data.
All of the following are mixed income: 200 Carondelet, The Muses, The Preserve, Crescent Club, Falstaff, Saulet (not 100% sure on this, I've heard both ways), 927. These are all $1000-1250 for 1 bedroom, which isn't crazy at all, but I can't see how anyone would sign up for this while knowing the demographics of their building. These are the main high rises or large volume buildings, outside of the Georgian Apartments and some of the City Park properties, which aren't the ideal location, but whatever.
That's not even getting to the converted housing projects like Columbia Parc at the Bayou District (aka St. Bernard), Harmony Oaks (aka Magnolia), River Garden (aka St. Thomas), which I think are completely infeasible and are based on confused newcomers not realizing what they are.

I hang at that pool here and there, definitely not a bad place to live. If that's not good enough for you then good luck finding a place.
ETA you need to get down here and drive around uptown looking for places to find what you want.

Fwiw, that's the one place I'm not sure on. I've heard that it's mixed income and that it isn't. The rest I'm 100% positive because it's easy to trace online.
All of those places look very nice, and I have no doubt they'll measure up in person. However, I haven't ever lived in a place with any subsidized housing, much less 40% of apartments, and it's definitely not something I'm looking forward to.
Yeah, I'll probably have to take out a day or two to go and visit, but with all of my other moves, I at least at a list of 5-6 feasible spots beforehand.

Of the large, new, post-K apartments that have popped up (of which many are mixed income), I've heard the most positive reviews about The Preserves. Apparently they have a top-notch staff and security personnel watching the grounds 24 hours a day.

Central Business District being full of true mixed-income high rises like 200 Cardondelet
right across the street from this place is a true high end apt. complex that charges like $1200 for one bedrooms. Always wanted to live there if I could afford it.
As far as the real estate in New Orleans, I suppose it is "strange", but it does have some charm. While I'm not a fan of the mixed income residences (after all, why should joe brown pay $500 for not being productive, yet I have to pay $1500 for the same apt?), I don't care if there are two buildings on the same street and one is high end while the other is subsidized housing.

I wouldn't look for a big apartment complex personally. There are tons of places to live that aren't shotgun houses too. I have plenty of friends that live close to magazine in various areas. There's always a bunch of turnover in places in the tulane/loyola vicinity. I'm seeing a lot of signs up in the Fountainebleau area right now. Lots of places open up June/July too fwiw.
It's tough though. A lot easier to find places once you're already living here, I was running out of time for a place and lucked up having my current place falling into my lap after a few weeks of looking. Good luck.

I know people who lived/live there. It is mixed income apparently, but only certain buildings on the property are mixed. The others are all market rate apts.

Is the other one the Maritime? I saw the Preserve and Crescent Club had good reviews

Which complex?
