Bissonet Plaza is centrally located and minutes from New Orleans
Just 11 miles outside of downtown New Orleans is Bissonet Plaza — an active community stationed toward the north side of Jefferson Parish just south of Lake Pontchartrain. Pocketed on the west side of Metairie, Bissonet Plaza is in proximity to all of New Orleans' nightlife and attractions without sacrificing its quieter complexion. "Metairie is close to everything. To get from Metairie to New Orleans is about 3 seconds, and to get the other parishes, it's about 3 minutes or so, so it's very convenient to go downtown," says local Realtor Carolyn Talbert of Keller Williams Realty Services, who has been in the real estate industry since 1979. "Our taxes are better, the schools are better. I just think everything is better."
Old and newer homes unite along Bissonet Plaza's gridded streets
Bissonet Plaza's gridded, sunbathed streets boast a mixed bag of home styles. Ranch-style homes with hipped roofs are prevalent, though larger homes with colonial elements are present as well. Many homes were constructed in the 1980s, though newer builds have been added since Hurricane Katrina ravaged the town in 2005. Smaller 1,500-square-foot homes often price between $200,000 and $300,000 while larger properties with four or more bedrooms range from $300,000 to $450,000. Bissonet Plaza's housing market is relatively competitive with some homes selling within five to six weeks of their listing.
