re: Looking to move from Metairie to the North shore. Any advice on specific areas to land at?

Where are people flocking to currently. If you guys could pick anywhere to build a house and accommodate those wishes, where would you look? Price is really flexible honestly.

Within the confines of Old Covington(actual city limits) is very hard to find right now. Vacant lot prices have increased greatly and there is a lack of buildable lots for sale. It is very Mayberry like and you don't have to cross anything called 190 to get what you absolutely need.

It is the ONLY place on the Northshore with banks, a grocery store, and a hospital that are within a mile of each other without having to get on highway or service road.

The influx of people buying and building in Folsom and Lee Road has increased as well. There is still land to be found to build if you want to. 15 minutes from Downtown Covington but traffic on Lee Road and Hwy 25 is getting worse all the time.

Military Road is also a great residential corridor with some beautiful old estates.

Old Mandeville South of Monroe from the Causeway to the Lakefront is also in high demand. Not as self sustaining as Old Covington but not bad.


Depends on what you're after but Old Covington is best bang for buck for families. Just about a mile or less from Acquistipace's and you'll do fine. West 20's is great as Silk Stocking district (Jahncke corridor).
