Convenience, community, and classic Metairie living.

Elmwood Parkway is part of the Elmwood Park area of Metairie, a well-established residential neighborhood known for its peaceful streets, mature trees, spacious lots and traditional single-family homes. It offers the best of both worlds: a quiet neighborhood atmosphere where residents can enjoy a slower pace of life and access to Lake Ponchartrain, while being just minutes from the shopping, dining, recreation, and major thoroughfares that make getting around Jefferson Parish so convenient. 

One of the neighborhood’s biggest draws is location. Residents have easy access to Clearview Parkway, West Esplanade Avenue, Williams Boulevard, Veterans Boulevard and I-10, making commutes throughout Metairie, Kenner, River Ridge and New Orleans relatively convenient. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is also just a short drive away.

Everyday Convenience

Living along Elmwood Parkway puts many of life’s daily necessities close at hand. Grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, fitness, schools, childcare and other services are all located within the surrounding Metairie and Kenner areas. The nearby Elmwood shopping district provides an especially convenient destination for shopping, dining and entertainment, including Elmwood Shopping Center.

For families, there are also plenty of opportunities for recreation nearby. Wilson Playground is right within the neighborhood and provides a shaded green space with a playground, picnic areas and room for neighborhood walks. 

For those looking for a larger outdoor escape, Lafreniere Park is nearby and offers walking paths, open green space, recreation and family-friendly activities throughout the year.

You are also near the Pontchartrain Lakefront Trail. You have easy access to the walking path along the lake. 

A Neighborhood Feel

What makes Elmwood Parkway particularly appealing is that it doesn’t feel like you’re living in the middle of a commercial corridor, even though so many conveniences are nearby. The neighborhood itself is primarily residential, with tree-lined streets and predominantly detached single-family homes. Many of the homes were built during the mid-to-late 20th century, giving the area an established feel and a variety of traditional architectural styles.

It’s also a neighborhood where people tend to stay. Local neighborhood feedback points to well-kept yards, sidewalks, quiet streets, friendly neighbors and a strong sense of stability.
