Considerations when choosing a New Orleans moving company

Moving to New Orleans doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Before starting your search, make sure you've gone through the following:

  1. Must-haves, and what you'll be willing to compromise on. You may need to give up certain amenities to live in your favorite neighborhood, or otherwise look for a smaller layout or a different apartment type.

  2. Your search horizon. The ideal time to start searching is between 1-2 months before your planned move-in date. However, don't be stressed if you only have a couple weeks to go; a surpising amount of rental inventory is usually available for immediate move-in.

  3. Your favorite neighborhoods. We've put together a curated list below of some of the more popular areas to get you started on where to live - whether you're moving by yourself or with a family, looking for a residential area or one in the middle of the action.

  4. Documents you'll need when applying for an apartment. These will vary depending on the landlord, but most require verification of employment and income, your credit report, and references from previous landlords.

  5. Whether you'd like to live alone or with roommates. Roommates can mean considerable cost savings upwards of 50%-60% depending on the amount of people

Tips for moving to or within New Orleans

Facts about New Orleans

New Orleans has definitely earned its nickname—The Big Easy. The nightlife in the city includes jazz clubs and great places to eat. New Orleans is also a melting pot of African, American and French cultures. People also travel far and wide for the yearly Mardi Gras celebration, which takes place near the end of the winter and features elaborate parade floats and parties in the streets. Canal Street is one of the most famous sites in New Orleans and was actually planned for a canal that was never built. For some time, Canal Street was used exclusively for public transportation in the city. The city is also home to the nation’s largest municipal park, which featured the Dueling Oaks, a location where Creole men went to settle their differences with Bowie knives, swords, or even pistols.
