Metairie Terrace. A favorite for those who want easy, in-town living without sacrificing space, this neighborhood offers shady, walkable blocks, a mix of classic cottages and refreshed ranch homes, and quick access to the Metairie Road corridor. Commuters appreciate that it’s a short drive to New Orleans and key routes across Metairie, while day-to-day errands, cafés, and boutiques sit close to home.
Outdoor time is built into the routine here. Families gather at the well-equipped Wally Pontiff Jr. Playground, with athletic fields, tennis, and winding paths, and bigger weekends often lead to the lagoons, trails, and open lawns of Lafreniere Park for festivals, picnics, or a jog around the loop. Shopping is anchored by Lakeside Shopping Center, where national brands pair with local favorites, and seasonal traditions like family-friendly Mardi Gras along Veterans Boulevard add a distinctly local rhythm.
Schools are a standout. Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies consistently ranks among the state’s best, and Metairie Park Country Day School provides a renowned pre-K–12 independent option. Nearby, Metairie Academy for Advanced Studies and St. Catherine of Siena School broaden the choices. Parish services, parks, and programming are robust under Jefferson Parish, reinforcing a community that values convenience, education, and connection.
