New Orleans Overview

Are you searching for an exciting place to live? You’ll never run out of things to see and appreciate in New Orleans! The Crescent City has tons of culture, annual Mardi Gras festivities, stunning natural surroundings — and so much more! The Mississippi River flows through the city and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The waters of Lake Pontchartrain offer beautiful views! And the city itself is filled with stately homes, historic buildings, world-famous dining options, and great places to explore. Living here means you get to enjoy all that the city has to offer year-round! We’ll go over what to expect and why you should consider looking for New Orleans homes for rent!

What is the history of New Orleans?

Did you know that the city’s roots have French and Spanish ties? The French founded the city way back in 1718, due to its location close to the river, lakes, bays, and bayous for getting around easily. The Spanish took over in the late 1700s and gave the city back to France. But it became part of the U.S. in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. New Orleans’ waterfront location made it a haven for pirates and smugglers during the 1700s and 1800s. And the city earned a reputation for being a lively, thriving place with Mardi Gras celebrations every year. New Orleans is also where jazz was born in the late 1800s and early 1900s!

How is the weather in New Orleans?

As a bayou city, expect plenty of hot, humid days in summer here. Daytime highs usually climb into the 90s, with lows dropping to the mid-70s. Spring and fall in New Orleans are a bit cooler. Highs are typically in the 70s and 80s. Lows are in the 60 and 50s. How’s winter in the Crescent City? Daytime highs reach the 60s, making it pleasant to get out and explore the area! Lows drop to the mid-40s for most of the winter. New Orleans has some rainy days throughout the year. But it tends to be rainier during summer overall — giving you some relief from the heat!

How do I get around town?

Wondering if you should focus on finding rental homes in New Orleans close to public transportation? If you don’t have a car, you’re in luck! New Orleans is a highly walkable city with several public transportation options. NORTA runs many bus routes throughout the city and surrounding area. There’s also a few streetcar lines available! If you do have a car, you may find it easier to get around the outer areas and suburbs. Need to fly somewhere? The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport isn’t far from downtown on the western side of town. Amtrak’s Union Passenger Terminal and Greyhound’s New Orleans Bus Station offer other options for traveling outside the city.

What is the New Orleans commute like?

How much time should you plan on spending traveling to and from your job? New Orleans has an average commute time of just 23 minutes. Of course, rush hour commutes tend to take longer. The big roads in the area include I-10 running from northeast to west, I-510 in the eastern part of town, and I-610 on the western side. Several US highways run through the city, including 11, 39, 47, 90, and 996. And the city has parkways and expressways, like Pontchartrain Expressway and Chef Menteur Highway. While looking for homes for rent in New Orleans, note how close they are to major roads if you’ll be driving around.
