What’s your socioeconomic class? If you’re a baller just live in the city
If you’re a middle class working man, live in Slidell.
If you’re a baller but still don’t want to live in the city live in Mandeville

If you're not in the Oak Harbor/Eden Isles/Lakeshore Estates area the dell mostly blows.
The Oak Harbor exit is trashy. My wife's Uncle lives in Lakeshore Estates. It's a great location with some nice homes, but overall poorly developed.
As mentioned in a previous post, live in Bay St. Louis and commute to Slidell. It's +/- 30 minutes. A few more minutes and you're in Pass Christian.

That is the downside to that area. You still have to shop with the regular slidellians.

I was looking through the different locations my employer owns, and I noticed there's a place in Slidell.
Are your options to work either in New Orleans or Slidell? If that was the case, I would work in Slidell & live in Mandeville.

Katrina ruined Slidell, both the storm and the population relocation. It was a pretty cool town before then.

Slidell is the westbank of the Northshore

Go the extra 20 min to Bay St. Louis or even Diamondhead. Its worth it.

Slidell used to be, and partially still is, a good town for commuters working in New Orleans. Not a fan of the section 8 housing popping up in the Eden Isles area. I'd still choose Slidell over New Orleans.

Given a choice, New Orleans over Slidell. Why is this even a debate?
Posted on 4/8/24 at 5:38 pm to finchmeister08
Slidell can be nice and below average. The outskirts away from the Katricians(NOLA East and Chalmette people). They took over the central part and the crappy part of Lakeshore Estates. I live on a bayou on the north side close to Lake Ponchatrain and it has the moss covered cypress and live oaks, great scenery.

Most fitting description for the Dirty Dell
It has some nice areas…and a lot of trash too

Depends on what you want
If you want access to the best fishing and hunting, while still living in nice surroundings with minimal windstorm impact, then you cannot beat the bayou liberty area. You could go closer to the lake in Slidell but you’ll deal with some windstorm and tidal issues.
Otherwise, crime and taxes are fairly low compared to nola. Quality of life is slower in Slidell.
If you have to commute to nola, that could be a bummer tho

George Dunbar's place on Bonfuca is a stunning one of a kind place and some of the properties like The Broadwell's and the Reily's on Bayou Liberty are spectacular.
Yep
I’m just down the road. It’s incredible place to live

lol Slidell isn’t like Kenner bruh at all. Please don't compare the north shore to the shite hole on the other side of the lake.
Slidell has gone downhill recently due to the influx of the Nola east heroes. Many of the older residents are flocking to the great community of PR which has always been looked down upon. Now people are realizing why the good ole boys live out there in the first place.
Slidell and PR are still areas you can leave your keys in the ignition when going into the gas station.

Lakeshore is built on the old Slidell dump. Take that for what it’s worth.

Because Nola has horrible political climate. Horrible streets uptown and garden dist and lake view.
Crime is bad and police response sux.
Nasty tourists , marijuana, urine, stale beer, smell downtown ruin that experience.
Except for some really good restaurants, it’s questionable place to LIVE. Better to visit
