Bridge City is a hub stationed along the Mississippi
It's no secret how Bridge City got its name. Established during the construction of the Huey P. Long Bridge in the 1930s, Bridge City has developed into a hub along the Mississippi River that connects locals to New Orleans' Elmwood community. Named "The Gumbo Capital of the World" in 1973 by former Louisiana Governor Edwin W. Edwards, Bridge City is known for good eats while serving as an active residential community in Jefferson Parish. Bridge City also serves as a popular landing spot for those working at Entergy’s Ninemile Point power station, which sits along the river at the community's north side. "Bridge City is located on the Westbank, and there are parts of it that are actually kind of an older community," says local Realtor Sissy Blewster of Reve Realtors, who has over a decade of experience in the real estate industry. "There's a lot of industrial stuff in Bridge City along the banks of the Mississippi, so it's a very good working-class community."
Small cottages and brick ranch-style homes are common in Bridge City
Bridge City primarily contains smaller ranch-style homes with brick facades and hipped roofs, though smaller cottages and shotgun-style dwellings are also peppered throughout the community. Most homes price between $100,000 and $200,000 while larger 2,000-square-foot properties often top out around $500,000. Bridge City's housing market is less competitive than the national average with many homes taking between five to six weeks to sell.
