Prob in the minority here but Mid city is my favorite. Close to city park and really only have to deal with Endymion for Mardi Gras.


Living uptown is what made me move. I hated it.

This would be my choice. My sister lives there with her family. Nice mix of families and young professionals. Very walkable. Access to cool shops and restaurants, not to mention the park. They’ve lived there for years and never had any safety issues.

Anywhere along the parade route with off-street parking.

As close as you can get to an ER with a trauma center.

We live in the neighborhood behind Rummel and love it. There are sketchy areas across W Napoleon but I've got cameras.

ETA: Law enforcement in the area is top notch

If I recall correctly none of Lakeshore flooded.


Some streets flooded north of Robert E. Lee. I think the water stopped around Jewel.

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


This area really sucks but the people that live there frickin love it.

Old Metairie is NOT overpriced, but worth every penny in terms of safety/police protection, taxes, politics, aesthetics, high ground, charm, etc.

And where does it "back up to the hood"?

It's pretty hoodie across the canal into New Orleans. But, you're correct in everything else.

Garden District or Uptown near Audubon Park if you're rich. Irish Channel, East Riverside, or Bayou St. John for us middle class folks.

This short little border?


Probably right, but that area is across a deep canal, and has fences, walls, an Atmos facility and the golf course as a buffer (not to mention the JPSO unit usually stationed by the Guidry house on Northline at night ).

That line is well-defended :

I had seven first cousins who grew up on Nassau Drive and one of the boys found a dead body in the street back in the early 80s. Came from that hood on the right of your picture. Just a body dump.

Lakeview is nice if you actually want to live in Orleans Parish. Honestly, its the ONLY place I would live if I had to live in Orleans Parish.
