Park Place subdivision | A Gretna LA Neighborhood

Lisa Heindel — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 14:51:52 +0000

Developed in the 1980s, the Park Place subdivision is located in Jefferson Parish, in Gretna, Louisiana. A collection of condos and single family homes make up this community of well kept residences. More than 20 years after the first owner moved in, the neighborhood has matured, with many homes boasting mature shade trees and some beautiful landscaping.

Katrina did quite a bit of wind damage in the area, so many of the homes have newer roofs and updates that continue to keep the houses in demand.

Located just down the street from the entrance to NSA New Orleans in Algiers, Behrman Park contains 60 acres of land, the majority of which is still green space. The area was named for one of the most popular mayors in New Orleans, Martin Behrman, who held his position for 5 terms in the early 1900s.

The stadium has long been the site of Friday night football games for both the O. Perry Walker and Edna Karr teams. In addition to the stadium, there is a community pool, tennis courts, track field and gymnasium.

Part of the New Orleans Recreation Department, various sports camps are typically held at the park during the summer, including tennis, dance and cheerleading.

Selling Your New Orleans West Bank Home? Online Dominance Should Be Your Goal

Lisa Heindel — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 01:55:40 +0000

Have you looked at the real estate section of the newspaper lately? It’s pretty small these days as fewer and fewer New Orleans REALTORS are willing to plunk down hundreds of dollars for ads that very few people are reading.

Smart agents are focusing their efforts on where the buyers are, and the statistics show that almost 90% of them are searching for homes online. Before they ever call an agent, before they ever make an appointment, they are using their friend Google to help them cull through the mediocre and find the jewels of the market.
