I have a few questions about the Uptown/Carrollton area, specifically as it pertains to off-campus student housing for Tulane students. As my incredibly clever screen name implies, I am a grad student in NYC (Master’s in Real Estate Development & Finance), and I am writing my thesis about various districts in New Orleans. I appreciate any responses, and thank you in advance.

(1) Which of the sub-districts in this area (i.e. Audubon, East Carrollton, Black Pearl, Leonidas, Uptown, etc) are well-known as attractive housing for Tulane students living off-campus?

(2) Within those sub-districts, which streets/sub-neighborhoods are most desirable?

(3) What types of rental housing (single-family, duplex/townhouse, mutli-family apartments, etc) are typically most desired? Do Tulane students prefer to live alone or in groups?

(4) What range in rental rate is typically considered acceptable to these students, given the various housing choices?

(5) Is there a clear high-end and low-end of desirable housing choices, or are most choices similar in quality? If mostly similar, what quality-level?

Again, thanks to anyone taking the time to read this, as well as for any responses.
