Lake Shore-Lake Vista Multifamily Homes & Duplexes for Sale

Lakeshore-Lake Vista residents live on some of New Orleans’ prime real estate, providing all the benefits of comfortable suburban living without a long commute to the city. These twin neighborhoods feature quiet streets and abundant green spaces, and Lake Pontchartrain provides a scenic backdrop. In the 1920s, developers saw the huge potential for homes, beaches, and parks in the swampy area along the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Miles of old piers and lakefront fishing camps were demolished, and swamps were drained and filled to add significant acreage to the area and a seawall and levee to protect against flooding. The twin communities of Lakeshore and Lake Vista now occupy this space, with immediate access to the lake to the north and City Park to the south. It feels far from the city’s hustle and bustle but is less than 10 miles from Jackson Square in downtown New Orleans. Though the expansion of the Lake Pontchartrain shoreline was carried out during the 1920s and 1930s, most construction of Lakeshore and Lake Vista didn’t start until after World War II. There are a few apartments and condos, but residences are primarily stand-alone homes. Architectural styles
