Destrehan

• Suburb of New Orleans, LA
• 24 reviews

Current Resident: Living in Destrehan is having the best of both worlds - we are 15 miles from the unique culture of New Orleans and yet we are a quiet, safe neighborhood with a much sought-after sense of community. Our public school system is second to none, we boost of a widely renowned swamp conservation program in our school system and beyond. There is a fabulous community education program offered to all ages. Business is strong with several chemical plants nearby who proudly donate to our school enrichment programs and businesses. They work closely with our schools and one of our school programs allow our students access to and participation in procedures and experiments in the plants in real-time!
One area I would like to see improved is having traffic lights installed at one particular junction near my house as there can be traffic jams at rush hours.
Other than that I am so proud and blessed to be a Destrehanian!!

Paulina

• Town in Louisiana
• 4 reviews

Current Resident: There are many things to be loved about my hometown, but the most noteworthy is the community. Neighbors look out for each other, and everyone is family here. With such a small population, it's a great place to live if you want to be connected to nature (which can be hard to find in the 21st century!) The only real downsides are the nearby chemical plants and the fact that most business close around 9 pm. If those things don't bother you, its a wonderful place to start a family.
