Everything in this guide radiates from the Saints' practice home at 5800 Airline Drive in Metairie, where you spend most of your work week. Old Metairie's oak-lined estates, Lakeside-area luxury rentals, and Veterans Boulevard's services all sit inside a 20-minute drive, with the Caesars Superdome a quick 15-minute hop down I-10 on game day.
The metro's most prestigious historic neighborhood: sprawling estates, tree-lined streets, and gated lots tucked behind mature live oaks, anchored by the Metairie Country Club.
An exclusive pocket of stately homes wrapped around the Metairie Country Club golf course, with lush gardens and meticulously maintained grounds.
Newer-build and renovated luxury homes near Lake Pontchartrain and the Bonnabel boat launch, walkable to Lakeside Shopping Center and dining.
A historic fishing village on Lake Pontchartrain known for waterfront views, seafood restaurants, and a strong sense of local tradition.
The neighborhoods above sit inside a twenty-minute drive of Ochsner Sports Performance Center. But many athletes prioritize lifestyle, privacy, and prestige over commute — these are the areas across New Orleans where athletes most often buy and rent, even though they’re a longer drive from the facility.
A leafy, generational-wealth pocket of canopy oaks, gated estates, and Metairie Country Club just west of the city line. Quiet streets, top private schools, and discreet wealth make it the metro's default address for those who want polish without the French Quarter spotlight.
A 2,000-acre, 24-hour manned-gate community on the West Bank built around a Jack Nicklaus championship course and surrounded by waterways. Spacious modern estates, tight security, and a true private-club feel set it apart in the metro.
A privately gated street of grand mansions beside Audubon Park and Tulane, set within the broader Uptown district of historic estates along St. Charles Avenue. This is New Orleans' most rarefied address, home to Saints ownership and the city's old guard.
Across Lake Pontchartrain, the Northshore's gated communities — Beau Chêne, Tchefuncta Club Estates, Money Hill, and The Sanctuary — offer golf, marinas, river frontage, and acreage with the parish's strong schools and low crime. A short causeway away, it feels a world removed from the city.
