First you need to attain information to Google. I suggest contacting each cities Chamber of Commerce. There you can obtain newspapers which will provide lots of information of jobs and housing costs. These offices will often send out the information for free. They do this as they want to have as many individuals and families as possible move to their cities. They want people to move there to bring up economical situations. The more people who live there the more income the cities gain. The more visitors who go there provides for more income as well, from taxes to spending money at the local businesses and other establishments. \n\nOnce you have the figures you can put it into the calculator at Google.\n\nGood luck and much happiness always.

A pint of milk will cost you about 35 (dollar) cents, a baguette around 70 cents. A nice two bedroom flat in the dead centre of Bordeaux will cost less than $1000 a month, less as you go out of the centre. \n\nElectronics in general will be more 20 to 30% more expensive than in the States, and finding a very cheap restaurant (like a Mexican for $3.50) is all but impossible. Taxes on income amount to between 30 and 45% for most people. \n\nStill, fresh food (and wine!) is incredibly cheap on the markets, and the same quality of goods in Chicago would be two to five times as much. There is also no need to own a car if you want to save, as the mass transit system takes you anywhere quickly and cheaply.\n\nSo, on average, yes, living in Bordeaux will be cheaper than Chicago, for an equivalent quality of life :-)

Have you tried craigslist.com ? Go there, click on New Orleans in the column on the right, and you will get a page of listings all in New Orleans area. Good luck.  You may want to also just drive around the areas you are interested in. Some people are renting, but not advertising, so they don't get swamped with people looking.  Go drive around and look for signs.

Did you have an appraisal done when you purchased the home? The value of the land should be listed in the original appraisal. Or you might find the land value listed on your property tax bill as they usually list the land and home seperately. \n\nwww.new-orleans.la.us/home/
