Stonebridge: New Orleans West Bank Neighborhood of the Week

The West Bank Real Estate spotlight this week is on the Stonebridge subdivision.  Stonebridge is a large, limited access community with homes in both Gretna and Harvey, LA.  Low association fees of $400 per year support the active home owners association and provide subdivision security patrols.

Built around three 9 hole golf courses, Stonebridge offers a wide array of custom built homes with the most desirable locations lining the courses.  Entrances on Wall Blvd. in Gretna and Manhattan Blvd. in Harvey make Stonebridge a quick commute to anywhere on the New Orleans West Bank, with nearby shopping, dining, playgrounds, libraries, churches and schools.  Easy access to the West Bank Expressway and the Crescent City Connection means that you are only minutes from downtown New Orleans.

The clubhouse at the Stonebridge Golf Club has recently been renovated and is now open, featuring a pro shop, banquet facilities and the Lounge at Stonebridge, which is open to the public.

Stonebridge Golf Club memberships are available for individuals, families and corporate members.  Only 150 memberships will be accepted for 2008, so don't delay in applying for yours!
