Metairie is a suburb of New Orleans and has lots of great amenities for families. It sits right on the lake which is beautiful! There are some great parks and several very good private schools. The Lakeside Mall is great and there are lots of places to eat around the city. It's also very fun during Mardi Gras!
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.
