Let Them Eat Cake

I found myself between appointments today - not enough time to head back to the office but enough that heading to the next property meant sitting in the car waiting…and waiting.  Instead, I stopped in at Parrot Pete’s for an afternoon snack.  After all, they do have a very nice selection of sandwiches and salads and it was past the lunch hour rush so I knew I could get in and out pretty quickly.  My intention was to get a salad.

What’s that old saying?  Oh, yeah.  The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

                                   

I decided today that my favorite part of being a grown up is being able to sit outside, watch the fountains and have triple berry cake with strawberry-kiwi iced tea for lunch.

                

Parrot Pete’s Gourmet Bakery is located at 1901 Manhattan Blvd in the Fountain Park Centre and is open from 7 am - 7 pm.

New Homes Coming to Belle Chasse LA - The Parks of Plaquemines

Belle Chasse is growing again!  Take a drive down Woodland Highway and you’ll see the signs.  Slow down enough and you can see that just behind the tree line there is a flurry of clearing activity happening.  A new residential development, The Parks of Plaquemines, is in the works and awaiting approval from the Parish Council.

                                  

I had a chance to sit down with the developer this week to take a peek at what’s in store at the newest exclusive West Bank community.  Encompassing over 200 acres of wooded land, I truly expect The Parks of Plaquemines to be the latest feather in the cap of David Waltemath (who also helped develop the prestigious English Turn community in Algiers).  Over 25 buyers have already placed their deposits on their chosen lots in Phase I - a sign that the area is ripe for the type of neighborhood amenities that will be offered in this new gated community.  Phase I includes the creation of nature trails, neighborhood parks and tot lots.

Although the clearing of some trees is taking place to provide space for streets and homes, a large portion of the land will remain untouched.  A 15 foot wide walking trail will circle in and around the development, with some lucky home owners facing or backing up to green belts, parks and waterways.  As the number of residents grows, a community pool, cabana and tennis courts will be added (the target right now is 50 completed homes) and HOA dues will be reduced until all of the amenities are up and running.

I’m very excited about this addition to the West Bank real estate market and can’t wait to watch the building and development unfold!
