Neighborhood

Situated on quiet Catina Street, you're five minutes from Harrison Avenue's vibrant dining and shopping scene, including favorites like The Velvet Cactus, Creole Creamery, and Lakeview Grocery. City Park with its museums and trails is your backyard, while downtown is just 15 minutes away via I-610.

The neighborhood offers excellent schools including Hynes Elementary, and the family-friendly atmosphere that makes Lakeview one of New Orleans' most sought-after areas. Despite the residential tranquility, you'll enjoy easy access to everything the city offers.

Available Furnishings (Optional)

Quality furniture available at no extra cost if desired including:
Queen bed with box spring and mattress
Dining table and chairs ($1,500+ value)

Additional pieces available upon request

The home's comprehensive renovation in 2013, combined with continuous improvements including a partial roof replacement in 2024, means you're moving into a property that's been thoughtfully maintained rather than merely managed.

Perhaps the most distinctive feature of this home is its remarkable energy efficiency. The combination of solar panels, foam insulation throughout the exterior walls, attic, and foundation, plus those double-insulated windows creates a living environment where comfort doesn't come at the cost of high utility bills. The smart thermostat, controllable via smartphone app, allows you to optimize your energy usage whether you're home or away. In a city where summer cooling costs can be substantial, this home's design provides year-round comfort at a fraction of typical utility expenses.

The property embraces smart home technology with an integrated security system featuring cameras, remote door locks for keyless entry, and that app-controlled thermostat. The bathroom has been transformed into a spa-like retreat with a rainfall shower head and multi-body spray jets. A brand-new washer and dryer installed in 2024 adds to the home's modern conveniences.

For those who prefer a furnished or partially furnished space, quality furniture is available at no additional cost, including a queen bed with box spring and mattress, a dining table and chairs (valued at over $1,500), four bar stools, a bar cart, and rocking chairs. These pieces can be included or removed based on your preferences.

The massive fenced backyard sets this property apart from typical urban rentals. This secure, private space is ideal for pets, outdoor dining, gardening, or simply enjoying New Orleans' pleasant weather. Combined with the covered two-car garage and additional off-street parking, the property offers a level of space and privacy typically found only in suburban settings.

Living on Catina Street places you in one of New Orleans' most desirable post-Katrina success stories. The neighborhood has been thoughtfully rebuilt with modern infrastructure while maintaining its family-friendly character. Within a five-minute drive, Harrison Avenue offers everything from Lakeview Grocery's fresh meats and produce to beloved local restaurants like The Velvet Cactus and Dixie Chicken & Ribs. Creole Creamery satisfies sweet cravings, while Nola Beans provides the perfect neighborhood coffee shop atmosphere.

Your proximity to City Park means easy access to the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Besthoff Sculpture Garden, and miles of walking and biking trails. Lake Pontchartrain's recreational opportunities are equally close, with sailing clubs and lakefront dining just minutes away. Despite this residential tranquility, you're only 15 minutes from downtown and the CBD via I-610 and I-10, with the airport just nine miles away.

For families, Lakeview offers excellent educational options including Hynes Elementary School, a charter school right in the neighborhood.

As a nearby resident, I take personal pride in maintaining this property to the highest standards. You'll have a responsive landlord who's readily available when needed while respecting your privacy and peaceful enjoyment of the home. The recent improvements and ongoing maintenance ensure you'll experience worry-free living in a property that's cared for, not just rented out. In fact, you'd be the first rental occupant on the property since it was renovated in 2013.

Security deposit equal to one month's rent. Twelve-month minimum lease preferred. Qualifying pets welcome with small additional deposit. Competitive rates available for qualifying students. Immediate occupancy available.

This unique property combines the space and privacy of a single-family home with the convenience and modern amenities typically found only in newer apartment complexes, all while keeping your utility costs remarkably low thanks to solar power and superior insulation.
