Bordered by Magazine Street to the north and Washington Avenue to the south, Central City sits at a genuine crossroads — geographically central, culturally significant, and increasingly on the radar of buyers who want to get into a well-located New Orleans neighborhood before the rest of the market catches up.
Tucked into a broad bend of the Mississippi River in the upper reaches of Uptown, the Carrollton neighborhood is one of New Orleans’ most endearing and livable communities. Once an independent city in its own right before being annexed by New Orleans in 1874, Carrollton has never quite lost that distinct small-town character — and that’s exactly what keeps buyers and renters coming back when they’re ready to nest in New Orleans for the long haul.
Few New Orleans neighborhoods capture the city’s magical, unhurried spirit quite like Bayou St. John. Draped along the banks of a historic waterway that once served as a vital trade route for early settlers, this mid-city gem has evolved into one of the most sought-after places to nest in New Orleans — beloved for its natural beauty, architectural variety, and deeply rooted sense of community.
If you’re searching for a place to nest in New Orleans, the Audubon neighborhood belongs at the top of your list. One of Uptown’s most beloved and storied communities, Audubon offers a lifestyle defined by sweeping live oaks, grand historic homes, and a genuine sense of neighborhood pride, all within easy reach of everything that makes New Orleans one of the most livable cities in the South.
New Orleans multi-family homes are very common for mid-term rentals; often with the owner on one side, the tenant in an adjacent unit with connecting walls. It’s an ideal solution, with an on-site landlord… but sounds can be, and are, a common problem.
We have been looking for a solution to this problem for years, trying stick-on squares, quilt hanging… every possible solution. One of our owners has an ongoing problem with a tenant who craves silence in the night, sharing a wall with another tenant who needs the sound of TV to sleep… what to do?
I think these are a beautiful and effective way to solve the problem, inexpensively.
Panels can be installed in sections, and create a gorgeous wall and atmosphere, while insulating one life from another in any double.

The famous Blue Dog posters of New Orleans are a local treasure. My dog? Maybe he’s just dyed for Halloween?
This scam is easy to spot, but inquiries from corporate and mid-term rental platforms are not always this obvious. Let’s dig into some red flags to watch for when renting a property OR leasing out your own property. Both sides have to be cautious…

We’re a small crew of furnished property owners, fighting to be seen and heard, seeking to compete with the likes of Airbnb and Furnished Finder, but on limited budgets. How can sharing our resources make us most likely to succeed?

Ready or not, our best laid plans are about to change. Summer is HERE, and it’s hot, everything is wilting, the kids are out of school, and we are hunkered down for the next few months, no matter what. Hurricanes? Or just the heat? Let’s just say that New Orleans gets ready for anything, because any random day can be interrupted with a power outage, boil water advisory, a random flood, or escaped convicts. We stay ready for whatever comes. Now you can, too.
At least half of the furnished rentals I managed are leased to remote workers at any given time. One of my repeat visitors is a screen writer who comes to New Orleans specifically to be inspired and use the Milton H. Latter Memorial Library on St. Charles Ave. as her “office.” She swears she is more productive in that space than anywhere else – and that’s the beauty of work-from-home… it is what you decide it is!
