I’ve lived in many states, first as a military brat, then traveling for a parent’s education, my education, and settling down with family.
Lived in 2 neighborhoods in New Orleans prior to moving to Metairie . English Turn (gated community, formerly had stressful HOA situation, seems better now ), followed by the Lakeview neighborhood - which was okay because it had private security. Sadly, New Orleans remains an increasingly hot mess of crime.
If dodging predators and potholes and horrible drivers are favorite pastimes, while paying astronomical property taxes, on top of buying security - and waiting hours to report getting slammed by subpar drivers or getting mugged - then move to New Orleans. You’ll be in heaven.
If you want a neighborhood where people know their neighbors, watch out for each other and kids, have cameras, take no nonsense, where property taxes are reasonable, and where the sheriff is serious about keeping the peace - that’s Metairie.

Metairie was once a family-friendly, community-oriented subdivision. Over the years, crime has progressively gotten worse. In addition to this, the public schools' often consist of underqualified, power-hungry administrators with no goal of shaping the youth to be anything, but criminals. The children in schools are treated like they are prisoners. We also see constant road closures but no work being done. After the road work ends, the streets are left
Metairie is a calm place where you can live a standard, stable life while still being able to enjoy the vibrancy and culture of the Greater New Orleans area. I was born and raised in Metairie, and I have no qualms about it; it truly is a simple, nice place to live. It is incredibly family friendly and neighborhood community oriented. We have the same magnitude of Orleans parish when it comes to parades, food, and music, with the added bonus of being ten times safer.
It's a great place to raise kids, the only thing is that public school system isn't something to be proud of, but in the past twenty years, maybe even ten, they have vastly improved; with a couple of high-caliber, elite private schools amongst their mix.
