Airline Park blends history, green space and suburban charm
Airline Park is an established suburban neighborhood in Metairie, Louisiana. While it’s considered to be a part of the Greater New Orleans metropolitan area, Metairie is actually in Jefferson Parish. Originally settled by the French in the 1700s, it was mostly farmland and swamp until it slowly morphed into one of the largest unincorporated communities in the United States. The abundance of sidewalks and nearby parks makes Airline Park a pleasant place for walking, playing community sports and enjoying a multitude of outdoor activities. The shoreline of Lake Pontchartrain is about 15 minutes away for those who enjoy boating and watersports, or just taking in the sights.
