Where I live in Metairie is very family friendly. We all know our neighbors and because of that, it is a very safe place to live. We have almost no crime in our ten block radius. But Metairie is the largest non-city in the country so not every area is as safe as mine. But it is much less crime than New Orleans, our direct neighbor. Most who were brought up in Metairie usually stay and bring their families up here as well. I would absolutely recommend to anyone wishing to raise a family to consider Metairie Louisiana.
It's close to the city, but with way better parking! With features like the Lakeside Shopping Centre, the Lakeview jogging path, and countless restaurants down Veterans Blvd, it's a happy medium between city life and quiet suburbia.
The area is sits about 15 minutes outside of downtown New Orleans, and has a lot of chain restaurants and shopping areas that are typical of larger cities. The traffic can sometimes be a little much during rush hour, but luckily there are a number of side streets that can get you where you need to go in the event of road shut downs and accidents. During Mardi-Gras, there are several parades that travel down the central road in Metairie, Veterans Blvd, that is easily accessible and even within walking distance of most homes and apartments. Overall it is a very clean and quiet area that is worth living in.
