new orleans west bank: Southwood Subdivision, Gretna LA Neighborhood
- 03/22/12 02:53 AM
Southwood is not one of those neighborhoods that has a fancy entrance sign. Instead, it quietly sits off of Belle Chasse Highway in Gretna, off of the radar of people who aren't from the West Bank...a little hidden gem of a neighborhood with well kept homes and yards.
The majority of the homes are ranch style single stories, although there are a few 2 story models sprinkled on streets with names like Sugarpine, Cottonwood and Firethorn. Just a few miles from NAS JRB New Orleans, Southwood is a quick commute for military members who can't swing the higher prices of neighboring … (0 comments)

new orleans west bank: Tired of Cookie Cutter Homes? Consider Buying a Historic New Orleans Home Instead
- 01/02/10 02:07 AM
After Katrina, with the city in turmoil and everyone uncertain about the future, my family seriously considered relocating to another state. We even started looking for houses in a couple of locations that appealed to us because they were close to family and possible jobs. The one thing that stood out to me when house hunting was that most of the homes were pretty much the same from neighborhood to neighborhood. There seemed to be about a half dozen floor plans that all looked the same from the outside and were all finished the same on the inside. I mean, … (16 comments)

While shopping last weekend, my husband and I were driving down Manhattan Blvd., headed to Chez Target.
