Mapping 10 Of New Orleans' Most Expensive Rentals

View as Map

Compared to bigger cities, New Orleans rent —even in its most expensive form— is pocket change. But here, where the average rent for the metro area is $872 per month, these rentals are going for a pretty penny. The city's currently blasted with "corporate rentals" so for the sake of not tracking every single furnished/short-term/outrageously priced place on the market, we sliced through to find dwellings that, for the most part, are just straight-up pricey rentals. (Curious about the most expensive spots on the corporate rental scene? Stay tuned, as there are a couple in the $20,000 per month range.) Here we've mapped out ten big-money options for rent around New Orleans: From a 5,755-square foot Uptown home to converted warehouses downtown to a Warehouse District luxury apartment that was once an undertaker's office, there's something for everyone — as long as you've got the loot, of course.

7503 St. Charles Avenue

Copy Link

Price: $3,000
Bedrooms: 2
Baths: 1
Sq.ft.: 1,866
This Uptown apartment on The Avenue was just renovated and has a private back patio. There's one-year lease and no fooling around here: a $3,000 application deposit, which turns into the security deposit.

1742 Arabella St.

Copy Link

Price: $10,000
Bedrooms: 4
Baths: 3.5
Sq.ft.: 5,755
This three-story Uptown home has an inground pool, a guesthouse, 2-car garage, and chandeliers galore.

1440 Camp St.

Copy Link

Price: $7,000
Bedrooms: 5
Baths: 3
Sq.ft.: 5,650
In the Lower Garden District overlooking Coliseum Square, this place is available for short or long term. Perks: pool, patio, balcony, and gated parking.

450 Julia

Copy Link

Price: $5,775
Bedrooms: 2
Baths: 2.5
Sq.Ft.: 2,010
Apt. 3A is the top dog (biggest, most expensive) of the 9 units in this building, which has been an 1840s coffee factory, then a mortician's office. The developer says there's a "niche market" in town that wants the luxe lifestyle without buying.

Moss-Bauer

Copy Link

Price: $5,900
Bedrooms: 2
Baths: 2
Sq.ft.: 1,152
This corner penthouse in the CBD comes furnished (not always a good thing)and includes utilities and one on-site parking space.

716 Dauphine St.

Copy Link

Price: $3,200
Bedrooms: 1
Baths: 2
Sq.ft.: 1,200
For some reason the listing fails to mention this rental is in The Sultan's Palace, rumored to be highly haunted. The 2,000-sq.ft. wrap-around porch will be a good spot to people watch as the haunted history tours ogle.

817 Chartres St.

Copy Link

Price: $4,500
Bedrooms: 2
Baths: 2
Sq.ft.: 1,760
Right in the middle of the French Quarter, this apartment has two balconies, a parking space(!!), and apparently a shared pool with the Place d'Armes Hotel.

511 Marigny

Copy Link

Price: $2,850
Bedrooms: 3
Bath: 2
Sq.ft.: 1,615
511 Marigny is a converted warehouse with a rooftop terrace, fitness center, pool – you get the idea. This particular unit will be available in late December.

620 Port St.

Copy Link

Price: $3,500
Bedrooms: 3
Bath: 1
Sq.ft.: 1,433
This Marigny rental comes furnished, but tenants are in charge of utilities. There's a covered back porch, a yard, and "quirky little bars" in the neighborhood.

Rice Mill Lofts

Copy Link

Price: $2,350
Bedrooms: 2
Baths: 2
Sq.ft.: 1,289
This Bywater pad with a downriver view won't be available 'til mid-January in the converted warehouse space that draws equal amounts of envy and ridicule.
