Cypress Gardens offers a comfortable, residential pace on the east side of Meraux, with tidy blocks, broad driveways, and neighbors who know one another by name. Daily essentials are close at hand along Judge Perez Drive, while a straight shot places you in New Orleans in roughly 20–25 minutes for workplaces, dining, and culture. Life here benefits from the strong civic fabric of St. Bernard Parish, where community programs and recreation are a regular part of the calendar.
Families are served by the highly regarded St. Bernard Parish Public Schools, known for tight-knit campuses and robust arts and athletics programs, all coordinated through the district’s central office at St. Bernard Parish Public Schools. Local students typically continue to parish stalwarts like N. P. Trist Middle and Chalmette High in nearby Chalmette. Parks and youth leagues are supported by St. Bernard Parish Government, and weekend nature escapes are easy at Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, one of the largest urban wildlife refuges in the country. You’ll also find lifelong learning and storytimes through the St. Bernard Parish Library, comprehensive care at St. Bernard Parish Hospital, and year-round community events at Docville Farm, powered by the Meraux Foundation. Public safety is anchored by the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office.
