Why Live in New Orleans

New Orleans captivates residents with its vibrant French Quarter, where historic architecture and lively entertainment converge around Jackson Square and the iconic St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest continuously used cathedral in the United States. The Garden District showcases grand mansions and lush gardens, accessible via the St. Charles Avenue streetcar. Music flows through the city's veins, from the authentic jazz at Preservation Hall to the local scene along Frenchmen Street at venues like The Spotted Cat and Blue Nile. Culinary excellence defines the city through institutions like Commander's Palace, a Garden District landmark serving haute Creole cuisine, and Antoine's Restaurant, the oldest family-run establishment in New Orleans, known for creating Oysters Rockefeller.

The New Orleans real estate market presents diverse options across distinct neighborhoods. The Garden District commands the highest median single family home prices at $1,140,000, while Mid-City provides more affordable options with a median price of $387,000. The French Quarter's median single family home price sits at $499,000, and Uptown homes typically sell for a median of $629,000. Citywide, the median sale price for all homes is $335,000, with townhomes at $411,000 and condos ranging from $260,000 for one bedroom to $387,000 for two bedrooms.

Living costs in New Orleans run 12.2% above the national average. A family with school-age children needs approximately $117,000 annually to live comfortably, while renters should aim for $65,000.
