Depends on the type of person you are.

Each neighborhood has a vibe.

Lakeview. Centrally located to downtown and veterans.

Uptown: too far from veterans

Old Metairie: overpriced and backs up to the hood

New Metairie: too far from downtown

West Bank: run down and too far from everything

Northshore: lol. Lmao even. Who wants to commute over an hour each way at $6 a pop for causeway?

Chalmette: no. Flood prone and severely declined since katrina

Avoid the area south of Lake Pontchartrain and east of the 17th Street Canal.

Broadway upriver boundary
Freret as the lakeside boundary
Magazine or Tchoup as riverside boundary
Napoleon Avenue downriver boundary

avoid the area bracketed by Lake Ponchartrain, Lake Borgne, Kenner, and the Gulf of America

Lived in Lakeshore from 2022-2024.

Really enjoyed it. Felt safe with a young family.

We would've considered moving to Old Metairie eventually if we would've stayed.

One of my goals in life is to never drive on Vets ever again.

When I was in my 30s uptown near Audubon was great for all of the nighttime action and restaurants.
When I was in my 40s Lakeview was a better fit. A little quieter.
The area of mid city close to Esplanade and City Park seems like it would be fun for any age
