The ideal suburb from downtown New Orleans if you are looking to start a family. It's not the ideal town for every family. If education is your concern for raising your children, the public middle and high schools, except for the test to get in advance study schools, are not that great. Apart from that, Terrytown is a decent place to live currently.
During the day while driving in the neighborhoods, you see kids playing out in the streets and it gives a very family friend vibe and also it's just enjoyable to see others happy. The areas surrounding are a little bit more intimidating. It's not unusual to be gawked at by men. However, you have to take into consideration that this is New Orleans. The restaurants are nice and the local Rouses looks very fancy. Crime seems to be high, but again, this is New Orleans. Keep your cars and houses locked at night just in case. Other than that, the people are friendly and southern hospitality is a thing, especially during Mardi Gras when everybody seems to be happy.
Terry town is really divers but lack security and stainabilty. I fell that terrytown is just extra part to what is known a gretna. Living in terrytown is a good idea for a short time
