I would say I am pretty close to being able to afford it, but not sure I want to spend that much

Slidell and Northsore dont count.

Metairie is practically out of land. Kenner is as well.

I thought the issue was that there is no land to be had in New Orleans since 78?

Lakeview is seeing new homes, on lots with demo'ed homes. Just very few empty lots in NOLA and Metairie. Water all around limits the outward growth.

Why?

We are discussing new homes being built

how many homes do you think were built last year on the northshore compared to the city limits of new orleans?

problem is there is no where to build in br where you actually get a yard. I have been seeing the trend of buying older homes then leveling them just for the lot.

what good is a cheaper house in the burbs if you spend all morning and evening on the road?

delicate balance

I think the issue is that Murdock missed the "new" in the subject

If you do your homework on your plans beforehand and don't select overly-intricate roof plans and slab designs you can also make it cost effective.


This is such a typical OT thread. Some people dont care about doing homework on original plans, they just want a house of out a book and ad some nice finishes. My inlaws live in a subdivision like this, but my FIL is very specific about what he wants. They had their plans done just like they wanted and they have the only house like it in the subdivision. His neighbors didnt care about being different. Plain and simple.

that's happening here, especially in Arlington/Alexandria. These cities are hundreds of years old and "built out" so people are buying the 1940's/50's WW2 homes and tearing them down and putting up giant craftsman style

in 15-20 years, it's going to be insane here

Lakeview has lots everywhere. New construction...

The St. Charles post was to show that it was clear cut a long time ago, just as new areas are now.

So captain wizard. these new homes in nola are of traditional south LA style and not boring stale.
