Why you'd want to live in Lakeview

Named for its close proximity to Lake Pontchartrain, Lakeview is a homey residential neighborhood filled with framed cottages and ranch-style homes with waterfront views typical of 20th century architectural styles. As more and more people settled here after World War II, bungalow style homes appeared throughout the streets as well. This neighborhood is nestled beside City Park, so you can wander the paths of the Besthoff Sculpture Garden, part of the New Orleans Museum of Art, or visit Storyland, a beloved family amusement park. Lakeview’s Harrison Avenue bustles with an assortment of stylish stores and restaurants featuring fare from burgers to burritos. The mood is carefree and casual, friendly, fun and pure New Orleans. via neworleans.com
