New Orleans, LA Apartments for Rent

New Orleans stretches along the Mississippi River and draws visitors with its distinctive music, Creole cuisine, and annual celebrations like Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest. If you're searching for apartments for rent in New Orleans, you'll discover everything from historic shotgun houses and Creole cottages in neighborhoods like Bywater and Treme to converted industrial lofts in the Warehouse District. The French Quarter features centuries-old architecture, while the Garden District shows off antebellum mansions and shady, tree-lined streets. At around $1,260 for a one-bedroom apartment, New Orleans keeps things more affordable than many other major cities.

Renting in New Orleans means choosing from neighborhoods that each bring something different to the table. The Uptown area near Tulane and Loyola Universities puts you close to campus life and local music venues, while Mid-City residents can hop on the historic streetcar line along Canal Street. The city's 1,300-acre City Park gives you plenty of room to stretch your legs, and Magazine Street serves up miles of shops and restaurants. New Orleans runs the world's oldest continuously operating streetcar line, and many apartment communities sit within walking distance of restaurants, entertainment, and cultural spots. Between major employers at the port, tourism businesses, universities, and healthcare facilities, renters can find both affordable housing and easy access to the city's famous food and music scene.

Why New Orleans?

  • As the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans boasts a great music scene
  • Exceptional food offerings
  • One-of-a-kind nightlife
  • The rich sense of history and culture
  • A fun atmosphere, hosting popular events like Mardi Gras and the Voodoo Music Experience
