I moved to Marrero with my family after hurricane Katrina, and it has been completely different. I can't say that it is all good and I can't say that it is all bad. I had a lot of friends in the surrounding area and at the time Marrero had just about the best schools ( elementary, middle and high) out of the entire Parish. I love the environment. As kids being outside everyday we always had someone to monitor us. Every parent, grand parent or aunt/uncle knew each other. Over the years, things have changed. You don't see or hear as many kids playing outside as before. Most adults aren't as trustworthy or soft hearted as before. The environment isn't always the kindest to kids. This is something that I would love to see change about Marrero. I would love to allow my kids to play outside and trust that the community will protect those who are apart of the community. I would love to see the protection of kids even if they aren't yours. I would love for Marrero to be kind and safe again.
Very quiet neighborhood with lots of friendly people. Many restaurants are available to the public and top of the line amenities. There are some parks around the area, but they aren't anything too special. There are your local superstores and clothing departments around the area. The schools are decent, providing a safe environment for children to learn in.
Certain areas are very dangerous but other parts are family oriented. Areas typically closer to the hwy are not safe therefore, it is best to stay closer to the middle of the city. Poverty is also very common in this area
