This bungalow’s quaint exterior hides a super-sleek and stylishly renovated interior. As its listing proclaims, it does indeed have “all the modern finishes of swanky warehouse district condo living,” including stainless-steel appliances, subway tile, recessed lighting, and vessel sinks. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Gentilly Terrace asks $1,900/month, and no pets are allowed.

Here’s a sweet little three-bedroom shotgun home in Bywater. Clad in a fresh, frosty palette of ice blues and whites, it’s as refreshing as a cavity-free trip to the dentist. The newly renovated kitchen features granite counters and pendant lights. There’s also a fenced backyard which is larger than average for the neighborhood, but sadly, pets aren’t allowed. The asking price is $1,900/month.

This snug French Quarter condo comes furnished and features plenty of exposed brick, crown molding, and a clawfoot tub. Its private balcony overlooks a shared courtyard. At 856 square feet, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom is relatively spacious. The $2,000/month rent includes utilities and parking, but pets aren’t welcome.

Ultra-contemporary renovations abound at this price point, it would seem. Here’s a former corner store that’s been turned into a home with the coolest sunken living room we’ve seen in New Orleans. The Craftsman-style corner store in Holy Cross has been gutted to the studs and outfitted with all-new siding, a new roof, a new HVAC system...the list goes on. Plus, there are sliding barn doors in places one would not expect to see sliding barn doors. The three-bedroom home asks $2,100. Cats (and only cats) are allowed.
