New Orleans Warehouse District Condos- The corporate condo rental business is alive! Gallery Row Luxury Corp Lease

The condo rental business is rather tight in the New Orleans Warehouse District. One of the most interesting aspects of this segment is the corporate rental. This is where the unit is fully furnished down to the forks and spoons. Everything that someone would need for a week or if they are staying 3 months to a year where they can just move in and enjoy. There are many people that just do not want to stay in a hotel for that period. The Warehouse District happens to be one of the most desired locations for this type of condo.

Anne Pierson has a speciality in this, you can see her site and work she has done with the New Orleans Corporate rental business. Anne's Site. She can rent your condo out for you for a couple of months if you are not going to be there. She can help upgrade your unit so you can get top dollar if you are not here. Any old unit will not do. Let Anne put her magic to work for you. This is a link to one of her units Video Link of Anne's Condo.

She took this small condo unit at the Cotton Mill and now it looks better than a $300 room at the Ritz. And you can feel at home as well.

You may want to think about renting your unit when you are not using it. You may want the rent to help with the condo fees and expenses. These are all ideas that Anne can help you with. You have to follow the condo rules and do what Anne says as she is the expert.

New Orleans rarely gets cold but can get hot. You do not need a large sapce to grow things but small areas. I guess that is why courtyards were developed to contain the growth and manage nature. Once we hit Feburary it time to think Spring. The leaves fall sometime in December and many time the new leaves are soming as the old leaves are falling. We do have seasons like hot, hotter and cool. However humid cool can easily become cold.

Weather in South Louisiana is great for growing things. Plants, insects and fish are all included. However I fool with the plant part. Most of the time you never have to water here with 60 plus inches of rain per year. You rarely have to worry about freezing during the day. Snow comes every 20 years or so, the most was in 1964 so its been a while.

This blog has little to do with New Orleans condos but you can grow some great plants in your condo with a little care, light and light food. These are plants in my yard in no orgainzed way. I can always find new plants when I show homes and can trade them with other backyard growers. You can always tie this in with photos to tie the hobbies togeather.

Read beneath the line so you too can enjoy some of my plants. When business slows there is always something to do.

The New Orleans French Quarter is like a little city within a larger city. The historic nature of the French Quarter has a lot to do with the neighborhood. Many of the current residents live in condos which is relatively new idea since the 1950'S.

The Quarter is a small, small section of New Orleans but its the oldest part being the center of the Spanish and French Rule in their colonies before the founding of America. It still remains a treasure for all of us locals and tourist to enjoy. It is also a great place to take photos with all the colors and historic buildings. It is much more than Bourbon Street as many people still live in the Quarter among the local shops. There are few malls in New Orleans but Royal Street may have been a mall before chain stores were developed. Its a lot of original shops, eats, drinks and entertainment that other places may not have. Enjoy the photos and check back for weekly additions of photos to my New Orleans French Quarter Page. I am sure I can get 5 quality shots per week. The photos add up and soon after 20 weeks I will have a hundred. That is easy with the New Orleans French Quarter.

I subscribe to a number of local blogs that are very informative and give me many ideas for blogs of my own and how to tie them into the New Orleans real estate market. New Orleans have several local papaers that feature all local items, both have blogs that churn out ideas daily. This one that I read is a tourist blog that keeps me informed. This is a recent blog giving my readers another resource. on New Orleans Condo trends blog.

"In a national survey, Americans voted online for the most "animated, brilliant, lively and vivacious" city in the United States. The winner--New Orleans! Yellowtail Wines sponsored the survey, and the city will receive its award, given by travel authority Pauline Frommer and Yellowtail, in front of St. Louis Cathedral, behind Jackson Square, on July 1. Welcome, and sparkle on!" Sharon Keating- New Orleans Travel Blog

This is a local travel blog I read weekly. Living here we do not always know what goes on as we are doing our thing which is New Orleans real estate. This is a blog I check into several times a week to see what is happening. Its the positive spots we all need to know. I sell more and more New Orleans second homes that are condos. If you run out of things to do you should check out the blog before you come to town.

The New Orleans French Quarter and the Warehouse District have been hot spots for second homes with people even looking Uptown. The French Quarter is much, much cleaner than it used to be and people are taking more pride in all the areas since Katrina. There are becoming more family attractions than ever before and that is accounting for a lot of the new business. Some of it are people living in the New Orleans Metro area that want to stay close to home and have a place to visit that has a little excitement.

These areas are a great place to entertain and visit on a regular basis. Its easy to get people to accept an invitation. It tends to go against the grain as to what is happening in other real estate markets, but then a lot of things in New Orleans tend to be against the grain. Property taxes were lowered 30% in 2008. Charter schools are the norm. The Hornets are winning, the Saints should be winning and LSU are the college football champions for the 2nd time in 5 years.
