Elmwood puts you within minutes of everything the metro area offers, with quick routes along Earhart Expressway and Jefferson Highway to New Orleans, neighboring Harahan, and retail-rich Metairie. Part of Jefferson Parish, the community blends convenient apartment living and quiet residential pockets with a daily rhythm driven by shopping, dining, and recreation.
Weekends often start at the ever-evolving Elmwood Shopping Center, where national brands, eateries, and the latest releases at AMC Elmwood Palace 20 make it an easy go-to. Fitness enthusiasts gravitate to Ochsner Fitness Center — Elmwood for pools, classes, and wellness services, while nature lovers find surprising green space at LaSalle Park & Bird Sanctuary, a peaceful habitat tucked beside sports fields and the Airline corridor. For bigger adventures, the cypress boardwalks and wildlife-rich marsh of the Barataria Preserve are a short drive away.
Families appreciate access to Jefferson Parish Schools, with nearby options such as Riverdale High School. Everyday errands are simple, thanks to grocers, specialty shops, and services concentrated around the center, and commutes to job hubs across the region stay manageable.
