Very nice area. Some people are shocked to learn that some of those areas a long the lake didn’t flood with Katrina.

Nowhere since you shouldn’t live in New Orleans.

Centrally located to downtown and veterans.

Have lived in city for nearly 20 years. Rarely go to Veterans. Other than going to Saenger or Orpheum no reason to go downtown (if you don’t work there)

Bordering Audubon Park. On the East Side, from Perrier to St.Charles. on the West Side, from Camp to St. Charles.
Second favorite - Lake Vista - the "bird" streets closest to the Lake.

With family Golden Triangle preferably with a view of the city park
Or just across the Bayou w/ a view of both.

Single warehouse district everything was walkable and meeting lady friends was endless

A second to Lake Vista. Quiet, safe, very aggressive and responsive Levee Bd police force. Unique layout with house fronting on parks and lanes. Most people in New Orleans barely know of it.

Depends on the type of person you are. Each neighborhood has a vibe.
Agreed and depends if you have kids or not.
I find Uptown (outside of a few real high end areas) a little congested and the houses are on top of each other and having to deal with on street parking. Would be totally fine as a single guy but not ideal with kids.

City Park/Bayou St. John is an awesome area.

Too far from everything. Too generic… doesn’t even feel like New Orleans.

In the city, lakeview or uptown seems to be the move.

Metro area depending on the work situation I’d do Mandeville in a heartbeat. Especially if my work was only on site in the city a few days a week then remote the other days.

I lived in New Orleans for 4+ years and I never once drove out to Metairie for shopping.

To the OPs question, basically between St Charles and Magazine St, west of Napoleon (personally I would stretch it out to Louisiana Ave.) There are other areas adjacent to that as well, but those are “easy” boundaries.
