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.
