Audubon
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.

Fairgrounds
What it’s like to live in Fairgrounds
Budget-conscious renters find value in Fairgrounds, where historic shotgun doubles and cottages offer authentic New Orleans architectural character without French Quarter prices. The neighborhood's calendar revolves around Jazz Fest, when many renters offset costs by subletting spare rooms to festival-goers (most leases specifically permit this arrangement). Walking distance to both Esplanade Avenue restaurants and City Park attractions eliminates parking challenges during events. Though some properties show elevation differences affecting flood risk, many long-term landlords maintain flood insurance coverage within rental costs—an important consideration when comparing seemingly similar pricing between properties with different protection levels.

What it’s like to live in Leonidas
Cultural richness defines Leonidas neighborhood, where colorful shotgun houses and Creole cottages create distinctive New Orleans character near Oak Street's music venues and restaurants. Residents enjoy the annual Po-Boy Festival and access to both Carrollton Avenue streetcar and Mississippi River paths. Though flooding concerns exist during heavy rain events, many properties have been retrofitted with improved drainage systems following historical patterns. The neighborhood's musical heritage manifests through impromptu porch performances and second-line parades that connect contemporary residents to New Orleans' unique cultural traditions spanning generations of residents.
