All about Metairie
All About Metairie, LA
Set in eastern Jefferson Parish, Metairie is an unincorporated community that starts at the New Orleans line along the 17th Street Canal and stretches west toward Kenner, while Lake Pontchartrain forms its northern edge. The community took shape on Metairie Ridge, a natural levee from long ago, and people know it for shopping along Veterans Memorial Boulevard, the lakefront at Bucktown and the spot where the Causeway reaches its southern end.
Housing in Metairie spans everything from Old Metairie, with its 1920s streets, to subdivisions built much more recently, so the homes, kitchens, exteriors and business spaces we work on differ widely in age and layout. An older property can hide work that needs attention behind its finishes, while a newer one may only call for targeted updates, which is why we scope each project before we put together an estimate.
