Welcome to HOT HOODS! We bring you the hottest neighborhoods of New Orleans for the last month. Here is the April 2026 edition!
Who is moving to New Orleans right now? Doctors starting their residencies and military families are all grabbing houses before they have to get into town. We have also seen an uptick in people wanting to return to the city after a few-year hiatus. Some properties are moving FAST – while others are still lingering on the market for no apparent reason.
