Lakeview has blossomed after suffering major hurricane damage
Before it developed into the active residential neighborhood it is today, New Orleans' Lakeview community was nothing more than a big swamp a stone's throw from the shores of the Pontchartrain. Now, Lakeview boasts a sea of single-family residences, shops and restaurants while offering glimpses at the city's rich history. "There are two parts of Lakeview. There's the Jefferson Parish side and the Orleans Parish side. Lakeview completely was rebuilt on the Orleans Parish side because that's exactly where the levee broke during Hurricane Katrina, so a lot of those homes, if they didn't get completely destroyed, were heavily damaged," says local Realtor Harriett Reynolds of Latter & Blum, who has been selling homes in New Orleans for over 15 years. "That area is basically regenerated — it's completely redone. The roads are torn up pretty bad, but it is a beautiful place to live."
Large shade trees line the streets in Lakeview.

Old and new unite, but historic homes shine on Canal Boulevard
Contemporary Italianate and French-influenced architecture shine brightly in Lakeview while New Orleans' signature shotgun and ranch-style homes are also plentiful. A smaller home around 1,500 square feet can price between $300,000 and $500,000 while larger properties with four or more bedrooms often range from $500,000 to upwards of $1 million. "Lakeview has more modern and newer homes, but some of the older homes on Canal Boulevard, that's a whole different ballgame," Reynolds says. "The houses on Canal Boulevard are older, but they're gorgeous." Lakeview's housing market is less competitive than average with some homes taking between two to three months to sell.

Charter schools dominate much of the area
Since Hurricane Katrina, the Orleans Parish School District has run much differently than most school districts. It is now an all-charter school system, allowing students to go to any school in the city rather than being zoned to specific schools, as is the case for many school districts. Notable schools in and around Lakeview include Edward Hynes Charter School, which serves children from kindergarten through Grade 8 and earns an overall grade of A-minus from Niche, and the C-plus-graded Warren Easton High School just south of the neighborhood on Canal Street. Students can also go to the private St. Dominic School or Mount Carmel Academy, which are both stationed within the neighborhood.
At Warren Easton Senior High School academic excellence is the highest priority.
Edward Hynes Charter School has a corporate partnership with the University of New Orleans.

Lakeview borders the massive New Orleans City Park
Lakeview residents are in proximity to multiple parks and attractions. Sandwiched between Pontchartrain Boulevard and West End Boulevard on the west side, New Basin Canal Park offers ample greenspace for picnicking while locals get their steps in along its walking trails. On the east side is New Orleans City Park. Spanning 1,300-acres, the park contains a wealth of sports facilities and attractions, including the whimsical Storyland playground that has been open since 1956. The New Orleans Museum of Art is another park staple. Opened in 1911, it is the city's oldest fine arts institution, welcoming over 300,000 annual visitors and featuring over 40,000 artworks.

Shopping and dining options abound on Harrison Avenue
Locals can find everything from grocery stores and restaurants to boutiques and libraries along Harrison Avenue. Lakeview Grocery carries fresh meats and produce while Little Miss Muffin sells trinkets and clothing. Residents are also just 3 miles east of Lakeside Shopping Center, which contains a host of retail shops and chain restaurants. Locally-owned eateries steal the show, though. Dixie Chicken & Ribs is famous for its ribs and seafood platters while The Velvet Cactus draws crowds for its margaritas and Mexican entrees. Residents also flock to Creole Creamery to ease their sweet tooth. Harrison Avenue is a hot spot during Mardi Gras season as well. The annual Mardi Gras Scout parade draws locals from across the neighborhood as local Cub Scouts stroll down the street on custom floats.
Nola Beans is a meeting place, a coffee shop, and a casual and healthy dining spot in Lakeview.
Nola Beans is a Lakeview staple loved by many for great coffee, food, and drinks.

A walkable neighborhood close to the airport
Lakeview is walkable, though locals often prefer to get around by car, especially with such easy access to I-610 and I-10. The neighborhood also sits just 9 miles east of Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, making for easy trips to the terminal, while the RTA bus offers convenient adventuring with numerous stops along Canal Boulevard.

This neighborhood is very quiet and crime rates are low. Very close to Lake Pontchartrain. The only complaint I would have is the road quality in the neighborhood.
