Thank you for this video. Moving in May to a nice house in Metairie and the neighborhood is really nice. Leaving Cleveland so I’m used to a larger city, New Orleans is like a big town to me which makes it pretty charming.
Hello Stephanie, my name is Stephanie also. I have been considering moving to New Orleans, and have been watching alot of pro and con videos. Your video has provided me the most relaxed piece of mind and comfort. Thank you for that, I have been looking at some houses that I have fallen in love with making me want to get to New Orleans that much faster. Have a great evening, and thank you again. ❤
@@LivinginNewOrleansLouisiana Oh, I rode it few times when I was in NOLA, you big easy folks are lucky, good preservation culture. Wish NYC would reinstate a line or two for nostalgia of the good old days! Plus give tourists something to see above ground.
I have a question bout jobs and costs there, do you think there's a good amount of job opportunities for younger people or would it be more interesting to get more professional qualifications and then look for a job there? And, is the renting reasonable to the monthly wage? I suppose it might be a bit more expensive because it's a historical town with lots of tourism but is it affordable for young adults to start their lives alone?
There are a lot of variables there. Not knowing what type of career you are looking into, I would suggest first checking the job listings on InDeed or through a head hunter for the field you are looking to enter into. IMO, I think there are lots of opportunities in lots of areas. Rent wise, that depends on where you decide to rent. The more historical areas will be more expensive for sure, but there are many bordering areas with different price points on rent. A realtor would definitely be able to help you with some perspective in that area. They cost you nothing to use, and can provide you a wealth of information on the areas you are interested in. Me myself starting as an adult alone, I would suggest maybe a roommate to cut expenses so you have more free money to go out and experience all of the culture you will be immersed in moving to Louisiana. If you are coming from the East or West Coasts, I think you will find southern living much more affordable, though some wages may be lower than what you might find on the coasts. It all balances out though, IMO. I hope that helps!
No. If you're young with no experience, expect to be working the low wage serving tables and bars. The only decent no experience jobs you can get is in Elmwood where the warehouses are. New Orleans is not known for a good job market. It's known for getting shitfaced drunk and partying for a weekend.
Okay but what's the deal with CRIME? My soul wants to live in New Orleans, but so many people are telling me to absolute not to because the crime is getting out of control.
It's so hard because I love New Orleans. I love the culture, I love the people, I love the nightlife - BUT the crime is out of control and I have to be upfront about that. There are plenty of areas nearby you can live which are a safe distance away, but still close enough to visit the city on a regular basis.
I would say it depends on the weather and time of year. It's way better than more congested cities like New York, but New Orleans is definitely not the country. And there is lots of humidity. Not sure if that helps.
A few easy drives to the coast out of NOLA ranging from under 2 hours to 4 hours would be: Bay St Louis, MS (I have a video on this one) Ocean Springs, MS Gulf Shores, AL Perdido Key, AL Flora-Bama Destin, FL There are some cool natural springs you can visit in Florida that are within a days drive. Some even drive to Disney World in Orlando, stopping over night in Tallahassee. If you love fishing, Grand Isle, LA is a great place to visit. Lafayette, LA is known as the heart of cajun country in Louisiana where you can find lots of authentic cajun cuisine. Avery Island, the home of LA Hot Sauce. For outdoors, some popular LA spots are: Tunica Hills Waterfalls, Poverty Point Burial Mounds, Bogue Chitto State Park (past Folsom on the Northshore), Fairview-Riverside State Park (In Madisonville, Fontainebleau State Park (in Mandeville), ReUnion Lake RV Park (in Robert). Lots of people also like to visit Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area in TN. Thanksgiving and Christmas is a really great time to go for the lights. Rent a cabin in the Smokies, and wake up to cool crisp mornings. You can drive, about 11 hours - or fly! There are a lot of great places in Alabama and Georgia too for mountain getaways. Soooo many options. 😀

It's variable by area. In a lot of cases, if you can get approved for a mortgage it will cost less monthly than rent. Are you looking to rent an apartment, a home, a sublet?

Liked #24. Trams are very fun ride and see the Garden District.
A day riding the Streetcars is definitely on my list of things you have to do in New Orleans. 😍

What, there are areas in NOLA that do not have potholes ???

It's easy to claim you like living in New Orleans, when you live on the "Posh" northshore.

@@LivinginNewOrleansLouisiana What is the name of the safer areas you mentioned here? How far are they from the city?
@@jjohnson8733Across the lake 😂 new orleans is any place at anytime kinda crime area
How is the air quality?
I would say it depends on the weather and time of year. It's way better than more congested cities like New York, but New Orleans is definitely not the country. And there is lots of humidity. Not sure if that helps.
If you live in NOLA or the area, where do you travel and what method of travel do you take to get a break from here?
A few easy drives to the coast out of NOLA ranging from under 2 hours to 4 hours would be:
Bay St Louis, MS (I have a video on this one)
Ocean Springs, MS
Gulf Shores, AL
Perdido Key, AL
Flora-Bama
Destin, FL
There are some cool natural springs you can visit in Florida that are within a days drive.
Some even drive to Disney World in Orlando, stopping over night in Tallahassee.
If you love fishing, Grand Isle, LA is a great place to visit.
Lafayette, LA is known as the heart of cajun country in Louisiana where you can find lots of authentic cajun cuisine.
Avery Island, the home of LA Hot Sauce.
For outdoors, some popular LA spots are: Tunica Hills Waterfalls, Poverty Point Burial Mounds, Bogue Chitto State Park (past Folsom on the Northshore), Fairview-Riverside State Park (In Madisonville, Fontainebleau State Park (in Mandeville), ReUnion Lake RV Park (in Robert).

@@LivinginNewOrleansLouisiana Thank you! Sounds like some beautiful natural areas. But the biggest nearest city with skyscrapers is Houston, right?
