Ama. Set along the Mississippi River in St. Charles Parish, this under-the-radar river community offers an easygoing pace with fast access to big-city energy in New Orleans. Residents enjoy short commutes, a friendly, tight-knit feel, and the convenience of nearby air travel via the modernized Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
Outdoors, the levee-top path is a local favorite for sunrise jogs and sunset rides, with parish facilities and ballfields maintained by St. Charles Parish Parks & Recreation. Weekends often lead to the sprawling Bonnet Carré Spillway, where you’ll find fishing spots, nature viewing, and miles of trails. History buffs head a few minutes away to tour the live-oak-lined grounds of Destrehan Plantation, while festival season brings food, music, and community spirit throughout the River Parishes.
Families appreciate the strong reputation of St. Charles Parish Public Schools, known for robust academics, extracurriculars, and career/technical offerings that serve students from elementary through high school.
