I would define the desirable part of Old Metairie as barely north of Metairie Road to Metairie Country Club, with the best being on the 'good' side of the tracks, north of the playground up and around Haynes.

Yeah, I'd say south of the tracks and east of Bonnabel is where the most expensive stuff is. West of Bonnabel is pretty pricey, too, especially if it's south of Metairie Road.

Buying something on the fringes of this area and hoping for appreciation is one way to go. You might not get to rub elbows with the super-rich but it's a good life.
