Jean Lafitte offers a waterside lifestyle shaped by the bayous and the Gulf, where shrimp boats, sunrise skies, and porch conversations set the pace. Yet it stays well connected: a quick drive links you to New Orleans and the wider services of Jefferson Parish, with everyday conveniences also close in Marrero.
Outdoor lovers discover a natural playground at the Barataria Preserve, part of the broader Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. Boardwalks, canoe trails, and wildlife viewing put wading birds, alligators, and moss-draped oaks within minutes of home. Around town, seafood straight from local docks fuels family-run restaurants, and community events at the Town of Jean Lafitte facilities bring neighbors together. Local history and the working coast take center stage at museums and cultural sites, while marinas and charter operators make it easy to fish, crab, or launch a weekend adventure.
Families appreciate strong local schools through Jefferson Parish Schools, including Leo E. Kerner Elementary and Fisher Middle-High School. Housing ranges from waterfront retreats with boat slips to cozy streets near parks and community centers, offering options for first-time buyers, downsizers, and avid anglers alike.
