Soulard
Soulard is the loud cousin: 19th-century brick rowhouses, the oldest farmers market west of the Mississippi, and a bar density that earns the Mardi Gras crowds. The architecture is genuinely beautiful and genuinely cheap by coastal standards, which is why restoration-minded buyers keep showing up. Tradeoff: weekend noise is a feature, not a bug, and the same blocks that charm you on Saturday morning will test you at 2 a.m. Anheuser-Busch looms south, the market anchors north, and the bars fill in the middle. Best for people who want walkable nightlife and tolerate the soundtrack.
