re: What Kind Of Area Is Venetian Isles In New Orleans?

Thats Irish Bayou. Venetian Isles is along 90 by Chef Pass; its only about a dozen streets.

To the OP - It is normally a safe place where everybody knows everybody. But crime does happen out here sometimes.

That area by the ratty video poker casino is most definitely not safe. Lots of drugs in that area and those people fly down Chef

It is technically a part of the 9th ward, but 15 miles from the "lower 9th ward" and 10 miles from the main part of New Orleans East. It is a suburban fishing neighborhood, mainly custom homes 15-40 years old, with saltwater access canals in almost every backyard. But that's all there is. The bar and restaraunt closed; there is no grocery, hardware store, etc. Its kinda far out from New Orleans proper and most of the residents prefer that.

Thank you for actually providing a serious answer.

Technically Venetian Isles is a small area near Chef Pass that is outside of the levee system. Every house is on a canal, thus, the "Venetian" name.

But a lot of people refer to the entire area along Chef between 510 and Chef Pass as Venetian Isles because the actual Venetian Isles is very Vietnamese, and so is the rest of that area.

For example, Dong Phoung is considered by many to be in "Venetian Isles" but it's technically not.

The actual subdivision is ok. The entire area along 90 between basically I-10 curve and Chef Pass is pretty sketchy especially at night.
