Moving to New Orleans?

New Orleans is one of the most visited cities in America and has many major attractions, from the electrifying clubs on Bourbon Street and the old world charm of the French Quarter, St. Charles Avenue (home of Tulane and Loyola Universities), and many stately 19th century mansions.

The city is located in Southeastern Louisiana along the Mississippi River, and is bordered by Lake Pontchartrain to the north and the Gulf of Mexico to the east and is coextensive with Orleans Parish. It is named after Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, Regent of France, and is one of the oldest cities in the United States. New Orleans is known for its multicultural heritage as well as its music and cuisine and is considered the birthplace of jazz.

Its status as a world-famous tourist destination is due in part to its architecture, music, cuisine, its annual Mardi Gras, and other celebrations and festivals. The city is often referred to as "The most unique city in America."
