Metairie Community
History, Community,
and Room to Live
Metairie sits just west of New Orleans in Jefferson Parish, a community with deep roots and a strong identity of its own.
Its history stretches back to the 1720s, when French settlers farmed along Metairie Ridge, the same elevated path the Acolapissa people used as a road long before. Buying a home in Metairie is buying into a long-settled landscape with a story worth knowing.
Metairie real estate spans a wide range, from condos starting around $150K to single-family homes well above $500K. Interstate 10 and the southern end of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway make getting anywhere in the metro straightforward, and New Orleans is minutes away.
