What surprised you most about New Orleans?
Been meaning to ask this. Homes are going for about $296,400 on average. The median home value here is around $296,400, which seems about average. The unemployment rate is 4.8%, which is about average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Close to nature
- Lots of new development
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
