Gretna is a great place to live. They have their own police department and a super fast response time. I had an incident once where they got to my house within 45 seconds! Gretna also has really good public parks that offer a wide range of activities for children 18 and under. The only thing I do not like about Gretna is that they have traffic cameras on the side of the roads which will sometimes "ding" you for speeding when sometimes you are not. Overall though, I really have enjoyed living in Gretna so far and I think it is a really good little, quite town outside of New Orleans.
The policing is quite harsh, a little too much profiling being practiced. Very clean though and some lovely parks!
Gretna is very clean and beautiful, it is one of the best areas to live in the New Orleans area. This area is also highly protected by the Gretna police. Very happy to live here!
