- Market rate rents
As of May 2026, the Marigny rental market remains one of New Orleans' highest-performing niches for multi-family homes.
Average rents for a 2-bedroom unit in the Marigny currently hover around $2,100–$2,250, representing a stable year-over-year demand. For investors, the shift toward mid-term rentals (30–90 days) for film production and medical professionals is currently yielding a 15–20% premium over traditional long-term leases.
- Top Ranking Rental Strategy
While lots of folks are disputing STR permits, it’s the midterm rental investors who are winning in the Marigny! The Marigny’s strict STR (Short-Term Rental) laws actually protect mid-term and long-term investors by reducing hotel-style competition.
The midterm renters are typically visiting executives, medical professionals and various digital nomads who prefer the culture and vibes of New Orleans while they “work from home.”
- Locating the “gems” in the Marigny and the Bywater
Look at 'hidden' multi-family gems near the Marigny/Bywater border, where insurance rates may differ but rental demand remains identical.
Why choose the Marigny?
Own a piece of history, establish consistent rental income, and be part of the restoration of everything we love about New Orleans.
