Affordable Walkable Cities: New Orleans, Louisiana

We will look at cities that are just plain underrated. We will focus on specific neighborhoods that are walkable and bike-able to services and amenities within a reasonable distance. The 15 minute city in America?

What actually qualifies as Affordable? We will be looking at cities with average rent and median home sale price.

What qualifies as Walkable? The entire city doesn’t have to be walkable since that’s unrealistic but they must have at least several neighborhoods with a good walk, bike and transit score. The goal is to find an area within the city where you can absolutely live car free.

New Orleans feels like you are in an entirely different country due to the heavy French/Creole influence. There is a unique character, cuisine, architecture and style to it. You just have to go and see it for yourself.

It is a highly walkable city and bikeable since it was founded and designed by French colonists in 1718, way before the automobile ruined city planning.

Streetcars have been an important part of the city's public transit system since the early 1800’s.
