Yes, Louis is living with Armand & Co. in a brownstone in NYC, in PL. We don’t know if he’s visiting, or that’s his main residence, but everybody knows his real home is the flat in NOLA on Rue Freakin’ Royale and nobody can tell me otherwise.

In other books, Louis is described as living in various little shacks, with hardly anything but a desk and stacks of books. An ascetic life indeed, because he prefers to live through the books he reads, or go out and experience the world itself. He doesn’t seem to need souvenirs of places he’s been, or have the same nesting instincts that Lestat has always had; Louis doesn’t need velvet drapes and Italian silk couches. Lestat needs these things bc deep down he’s still that borderline-poverty-stricken young actor who had to sleep on lumpy pallets in a drafty little apartment in Paris ;A; With his wealth, he tries to create a sanctuary where he lives. He wants what he never had in mortal life.

Louis is rich bc he was a plantation owner and owned property in NOLA. He was careful with banking and originally thought Lestat chose him for his money. AS IF! Although Pointe du Lac plantation burned down ;A; Louis had probably been investing profits from the plantation for years, he was running it for awhile before Lestat showed up and it all went to shit real fast.

Louis is also a talented gambler, nobody can match his poker face, he has a knack for cards, and can win huge sums to invest. 

Louis also loves books, and probably is in the vintage book business. 

Louis also probably gets money from Lestat, if he needs it.
