You can rent this gorgeous ground-floor apartment in Treme for $1,400/month. While there’s no documentation of square footage, it does have one bedroom and one bathroom. We’re in love with its covered sitting porch, hardwood floors, tall windows, and soaring ceilings. Its kitchen comes furnished. You can rent out the home fully furnished for $1,650/month. Both cats and dogs are allowed under the rental agreement.

In Broadmoor, you can rent this 1,400-square-foot apartment for $1,400/month. This ground-floor unit has two bedrooms and one bathroom. We love that it has a formal living and dining room and a sunny foyer. Highlights include its hardwood floors, ceiling fans and an in-unit washer and dryer. There’s no mention of any pet policy. But if you’re looking for a spot to call yours, this unit has off-street parking.

It also has a washer and dryer. This unit also has two balconies and a shared pool and courtyard. Both cats and dogs are allowed under its rental agreement.
