Thank you to the readers who requested more information about home sales in Barkley Estates on the West Bank of New Orleans (I really DO respond to reader requests for reports and topics).  Barkley Estates is a great gated community just off of Lapalco Blvd. in Harvey, Louisiana, with new and resale homes along with residential lots to design and build your dream home on.
