Terrytown

Rebirth in the 'Burbs

Just minutes from downtown New Orleans and historic Gretna, Terrytown offers affordable options for homebuyers who want to be close to the action of the Greater New Orleans area while still enjoying a suburban vibe. Terrytown is the oldest planned suburb in Jefferson Parish with a strong civic association; mid-century modern architecture; excellent public facilities; and close proximity to general shopping, commercial, and health amenities. Terrytown’s many opportunities for growth and development made it the ideal community for Jefferson Parish’s first Neighborhood Revitalization Pilot Program. Already a success, the first model home built through the pilot program was on the market for one day before it was scooped up by interested homebuyers. New zoning, bike trails, and a focus on increased quality of life make Terrytown an ideal location for area newcomers.
