Metairie Overview
Considered a part of the greater New Orleans metro area, Metairie is a dynamic and exciting locale in the always-enticing state of Louisiana. Snugly located in the heart of Jefferson Parish, this on-the-go city is an ideal place to live, work and raise a family.
What is the history of Metairie?
While French settlers have resided in the Metairie region as far back as the early 1700s, the city as it is known today first came into fruition around the early 1900s. Paved roads and an electric streetcar could be found within the city limits by the 1920s, and after World War II the region experienced further development and subsequent growth. The 1970s and 1980s saw an increase in nightclubs and bars around the city, affectionately referred to by locales as 'Fat City', and Metairie offers a more 'family-friendly' version of Mardi Gras every February.
How is the weather in Metairie?
Like much of Louisiana, Metairie is highlighted by hot and humid summers, and precipitation often continues into the autumn months. Winter is generally dry and cool, with snow a rarity but still possible. Springtime is often the rainy season, hearkening the muggy months to come.
How do I get around town?
Most residents of apartments in Metairie rely upon a personal car or truck for most transportation needs, although bicycling has also taken on a new popularity in recent years. Jefferson Transit offers limited bus service throughout the city, and while the electric streetcars no longer run, taxis and ride sharing services are readily available. New Orleans proper offers the nearest and most-utilized airport.
What is the Metairie commute like?
I-10 runs through the heart of Metairie from east to west, and both Route 90 and the Earhart Expressway both zig-zag across the city as well. Those commuting to New Orleans and its job market generally experience a swift daily ride, although traffic does tend to increase the closer to New Orleans you get.
What are the local media outlets?
Metairie is home to a number of broadcast stations, including WNOL and WGNO, and radio is largely a diverse mix of cajun, jazz, political talk and even gospel formats. The 'Metairie News' and the 'New Orleans Advocate' are both widely read newspapers in the area as well.

The Hurricane Katrina Memorial is also an ideal place for quiet reflection.

Cheer on the Saints at the big game, or visit the Cabildo, one of the region's most famous cultural museums.Aim for a strike at the popular Rock-n-Bowl, or dance the night away at one of the numerous nightclubs along the Fat City district. Drago's Seafood is simply the place to go for shrimp gumbo, and Antoine's Bakery has got you covered when you get a craving for those famous French pastries.
