Metairie is a very calm place with many opportunities to have fun and live a normal life. The public schools here are decent as there are a few schools of high caliber, while the rest have generally lower stats. The traffic is worse around 3-4 pm, but any other time is pretty low. Some neighborhoods are safer than others. Generally, lower income neighborhoods are the most dangerous, while medium-high income neighborhoods are the safest. There is a wide variety of restaurants so as to never get bored of any one thing. There is plenty of green life, as there are multiple parks and playgrounds and little leagues to play sports in. I have lived here my whole life and have no regrets or problems with it whatsoever.
A community that sprung from white flight, it's designed not to be able to walk, bike, or take public transit easily. There are some good resources--playgrounds, parks, libraries--and easy access to most of the things you'd need. Very little local flavor or anything unique as far as culture, businesses, and cuisine go. There's been some effort to install public art on the main corridor but overall, the area is drab.
It is a very nice city with a wide range of things to do with your family. It is a very nice and fairly safe to raise a family. It is very close to New Orleans and the NO international airport. It is multi cultural, and multiple age groups. There are a lot of state of the art medical facilities. There are several major universities with in a short commute. The public transportation could be better, if you don't have a car there are many places that are hard to access. While the private schools are good, the public schools have some opportunities.
