Clearview Estates

Neighborhood in Metairie, Louisiana

Jefferson Parish 70001

Multi-family home options in a commercial district

Some might consider Clearview Estates an easy neighborhood to overlook. It is, after all, primarily commercial and filled with everything from a major medical center to an old-fashioned Italian family restaurant. But to disregard the area due to its lack of single-family houses would be a mistake. Instead, those living in Clearview Estates choose condominiums as their residences, which helps open up the rest of Metairie and Greater New Orleans to them. The neighborhood rests next to Interstate 10 and Clearview Parkway, as well as West Napoleon Avenue and South I-10 Service Road West. The abundance of roadways keeps travel and commute times low, just as the many eateries, bars and retail shops make it an inviting place to call home. “The story in this area is that it is most multi-family homes with a minimal inventory of single-family properties,” says Christopher Falk, the president and broker of Falk Realty Group, Inc., who has been in the market for over 25 years. “If you live there, it does have excellent access and proximity to Interstate 10.”

Apartments, condos and row homes 10 miles from New Orleans

In such a confined area, with more than 80% of the property being commercial, opportunities to move into Clearview Estates only occasionally. City streets are lined with a scattering of trees that shade sidewalks underneath. Those looking to rent can take advantage of multiple apartment and condo complexes, but there is a chance to purchase either a townhouse or a row home. Condo prices can start at around $85,000, while a row home costs approximately $450,000. “The market has taken a hit. Properties are still selling, but with the interest and insurance rates on top of that because New Orleans is in a flood area. Those factors have taken a toll on the market,” Falk says.

Going to school in the Jefferson Parrish School District

Students attend the Jefferson Parish Schools, which scores a B-minus on Niche and is the largest district in Louisiana and the 98th-largest in the country. While school choice for parents is an option, the districted route is Hearst Elementary, Harris Middle and Bonnabel High School. According to Niche, the schools grade as a C-plus, C, and C-minus, respectively. Bonnabel High has multiple buildings on its campus, including one exclusively for freshman to help smooth their transition into high school.

Lafreniere Park

One of the last undeveloped places in East Jefferson, Lafreniere Park, has turned into a lush green space less than 3 miles away. The large park, a community staple for three decades, features multiple-use lawns, fountains, picnic areas, gardens, trails, paths, a dog park, and a championship disc golf course. In the summer, the park opens a spray park for children to beat the heat.

Clearview City Center and local favorite restaurants

Residents can head to the Clearview City Center shopping center, an open-air facility with multiple storefronts. Locals can shop for groceries and beyond at Target or catch a flick at the AMC Theatre. Clearview Estates is known for many local restaurants, including Randazzo’s Family Restaurant, a New Orleans-style Italian place known for its massive portions. Another unique spot is the memorably named Spudly’s Super Spuds. Opened by a brother and sister team in 1980, the café only offered “A Meal in a Baked Potato” at first. While those overstuffed spuds are still its calling card, the menu has expanded over the years to include soup, salads, and specialty sandwiches.

Living near New Orleans

Less than 10 miles west of New Orleans, residents are a stone’s throw away from all the action of a major United States city. There is always something going on from Bourbon Street's restaurant and bar scene, professional sports with the NFL’s New Orleans Saints or NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans, or multiple museums like the National World War II Museum.

Interstate 10 and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport

Just north of the community is Interstate 10, the southernmost transcontinental highway. It is a straight shot into downtown New Orleans for commuters, stretching from Jacksonville, Florida, to Santa Monica, California. The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is less than 7 miles west on I-10 for those heading out of the area. Clearview Estates is less than 10 miles east of downtown New Orleans.

Lakeside Hospital

Lakeside Hospital is found just off the interstate and is a significant employer in the area. In early 2023, community-care-based LCMC Health and Tulane Medical Center, a leading research university, combined to expand access to healthcare in South Louisiana. The complex can help those with general and specific medical needs, including bone and joint care, women and infant care, and cardiovascular health.
