Coincidentally that is exactly what I paid for my condo in 1995. By paying an extra $1000 or so a year I managed to pay it off in 8 years.

Thanks, guys. Gentilly Terrace, man. It has been a nice, solid middle-class neighborhood for almost a century. My grandmother's cousins lived there. Not a scrap of trash on the streets or any graffiti. It is very suburban-feeling for being in New Orleans and, because it is sort-of hidden and not in proximity to the French Quarter, the big parks, or in the garden district, it still has deals. That also means no one has any reason to be wandering those streets who doesn't live there. There are no businesses or anything and it all dead-ends before the Interstate, it is purely residential.
Ooooh! Ooooh! Lest I forget an important plus of that neighborhood, it is on the remains of an old river bluff and, thus, higher than most of the rest of the city. My flood ins. will be less that $400 a year!
