Audubon

What it’s like to live in Audubon
Majestic oak trees line the streets of Audubon, where this Uptown New Orleans neighborhood surrounds both Audubon Park and Tulane University. The district features distinctive architecture from Greek Revival mansions to Craftsman bungalows, with many larger homes divided into spacious apartments with period details unavailable in newer construction. For academic professionals and families prioritizing both educational access and natural beauty, Audubon delivers New Orleans' finest combination of prestigious address, walkable amenities, and park proximity – though rental rates reflect these premium attributes.

Lower Garden District
What it’s like to live in Lower Garden District
Historic grandeur defines the Lower Garden District, where Greek Revival homes and Victorian architecture create one of New Orleans' most distinctive rental neighborhoods. Apartments in converted mansions feature soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, while newer construction maintains architectural compatibility. Though some streets show variable maintenance reflecting the challenges of preserving historic structures, the neighborhood's walkable access to both downtown and Magazine Street shopping creates unparalleled convenience. The streetcar line provides car-free transportation options, while the neighborhood's slightly elevated position reduces flooding concerns compared to lower-lying areas.

What it’s like to live in Milan
Historic affordability defines Milan, where this Uptown-adjacent neighborhood offers similar architectural character at more accessible price points. The district sits strategically positioned between Magazine Street shopping and St. Charles Avenue streetcar access, creating ideal convenience without corresponding Garden District premiums. Though some properties show their age with vintage quirks requiring maintenance knowledge beyond typical renter experience, the combination of architectural distinction, walkable amenities, and more reasonable rental rates creates compelling value for households seeking authentic New Orleans experiences beyond tourist-oriented districts. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets create natural beauty unusual for urban environments, while the central positioning provides reasonable access to both universities and downtown employment.
