New Metairie offers charm, convenience and community pride
Entering the New Metairie neighborhood, you might be surprised to find what looks like a surfacing submarine in the middle of a grassy median. The thin metal shell is called the USS Metairie, the name proudly displayed on the structure’s faux conning tower. This local landmark disguises something rather ordinary: an air-release valve pit connected to a nearby drainage system. However, that seemingly mundane purpose didn’t stop the residents of New Metairie from making the structure into something memorable. Such community spirit is evident throughout this residential neighborhood, home to several schools and churches while remaining close to everyday essentials and major roadways. “It’s a little hidden gem, a neat little pocket that’s convenient to everything. Being on the south side of Interstate 10 keeps it from being too congested traffic-wise,” says Realtor Re Re Avegno with Re/Max Affiliates. “It’s not an area people think of a lot unless they grew up here. A lot of young people come back when they want to buy their first home. There are great property values in the area, and good value for your money.” New Metairie welcomes residents with friendly neighbors, multiple school choices and easy access to downtown New Orleans.

Cottages and ranch-style homes with wide price variety
Living in New Metairie almost lets residents step back in time. The bedroom community is filled with cottages and ranch-style houses from the 1960s and 1970s although you’ll find the odd Tudor, contemporary or custom-built home among the more traditional designs. Mature trees dot the area, and Cleary Playground invites both the young and old to enjoy the green space. The lawns are nicely kept, and prices range from $245,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch-style residence to $1 million for a four-bedroom, five-bathroom contemporary mansion.
