About Orleans Parish
Selling a house in Orleans Parish
Orleans Parish is consolidated with the City of New Orleans, set on the Mississippi River between Lake Pontchartrain and the river's final bends in southeast Louisiana. The city is known worldwide for its music, food, and architecture, from the French Quarter to the Garden District. Tourism, the port, health care, and higher education are its economic mainstays.
Orleans Parish is the 3rd-most populous county in Louisiana, home to about 362,701 people. Its cities and towns include New Orleans, and it covers 20 ZIP codes.
Orleans Parish's large employers include Ochsner Health, Tulane University, Port of New Orleans, and LCMC Health, and it is home to Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans.
It is known for Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, New Orleans City Park, and The National WWII Museum.
Orleans Parish borders St. Bernard Parish, Jefferson Parish, Plaquemines Parish, and St. Tammany Parish. We buy houses across all of them, and anywhere else in Louisiana.
About 74% of homes in Orleans Parish were built before 1980, and 49% of households rent. About 20% of homes stand empty. Older houses often need work a listing would expect you to fix first; we buy them as-is, with no repairs or cleaning. With so many rentals, investors often sell to us with tenants in place, and we pay the closing costs.
Whether the house is inherited, facing foreclosure, behind on property taxes or simply no longer fits, selling in Orleans Parish starts with the address. The deed, any liens and the county's tax records are cleared through the title company at closing; property values and taxes are kept by Orleans Parish Assessor's Office.
