A historic warehouse that served as a car dealership recently completed a conversion into 15 high-end apartments. The window-filled building includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, with rent ranging from $2,500 to $4,500. Two units on the first floor fronting Howard Avenue are being advertised as "live/work spaces."

Residents will start moving into this French Quarter building that formerly housed a Hurwitz Mintz furniture store in the fall, but pre-leasing is happening right now. Offering a "a modern take on French Quarter living," units feature large windows and high ceilings, wide-plank oak floors, quartz countertops, gas stoves, and exposed heavy-timber beams. Building amenities include two courtyards; a rooftop deck, gym, and lounge; and bike storage and valet parking "one block away." Rents range from $1,750 for a studio, $2,250 for a one-bedroom, $2800-$3500 for two-bedrooms, and $5750 for the penthouse. Eventually, there will be a ground-floor retail tenant.

Units in this apartment and condo building—in the CBD building that was once owned by a molasses refinery, then later a cigar factory—hit the market in May, and move-ins started in June. The industrial chic rental units, which all look different from each other, start at $1,200 for a 515-square-foot studio and go up to $3,100 for a 678-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit with a balcony. Building amenities include 24-hour valet parking, grocery and dry cleaning delivery, free WiFi, a gym, housekeeping services, and more.

The new building in increasingly popular Gentilly isn't super attractive from the outside, and is lacking in some of the amenities of other buildings, but the rent prices are far more affordable: a 650-square-foot one-bedroom starts at $775, and a two-bedroom with a balcony is $925. Building amenities include free WiFi in common areas and courtyards with grilling stations.

The original residential building of the South Market District includes a "resort-style" outdoor area with a pool, courtyard, cabanas, an outdoor kitchen and lounge seating; free WiFi in rooms; and downstairs neighbors that include eateries like Willa Jean and a Barre3 studio. The Paramount still has some units available: Currently, available units start at $1,465 for a 594 square-foot one-bedroom.

Boasting probably one of the coolest pool decks in town, this Poydras Street building also is home to the indoor "sky lobby" with soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Available units include one-bedrooms starting at $1,380 and two-bedrooms starting at $1,850.

This iconic 23-story building, known for the distinctive white tower on top, has a rooftop pool deck with beautiful views of the city. This is one of the most beautiful apartment buildings you could live in. Rentals range from one bedrooms starting at $1,550 and two-bedrooms to around $2,675, and there are usually vacancies.

This Mid-City apartment building also features a very enviable pool and patio and you also have a PJ’s coffee and Pearl Wine on the ground floor, plus Bayou St. John a few steps away. A 991 square-foot two-bedroom unit is available here for $1,550.

If you're the type of person who wants to be in the thick of it all, the apartment building is on a bustling stretch of Canal Street. Units have exposed brick walls and wood floors, and there's a pool on the roof deck. Units here are very pricey, though: Available units from from a 332 square-foot one-bedroom for $1,500, to a 1,277 square-foot two-bedroom for $5,100.

Another CBD building, this one also has an enviable rooftop pool. Inside, there's in-unit washer/dryers. Available units include a 618 one-bedroom for $1,305 to a 1,503 square-foot three-bedroom for $2,445.
