Why Live in Gretna

Gretna, Louisiana, located directly across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, is a small West Bank city with a rich historical background. Founded in 1836, Gretna spans nearly 5 square miles and features a 130-acre historic downtown, Old Gretna, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city is known for its New Orleans-style architecture, including shotgun homes, bungalows, cottages with gingerbread-style ornamentation, ranch-style houses, and custom builds. Gretna's residents, numbering around 17,000, enjoy a quieter atmosphere compared to New Orleans, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful living environment. The city hosts the annual Gretna Fest, attracting over 75,000 attendees with food, crafts, and performances by well-known musicians. Other attractions in downtown Gretna include the Gretna Cultural Center for the Arts and the German-American Cultural Center and Museum. Dining and shopping options are abundant, with popular spots like River Shack and the Gretna Farmers Market. For education, Gretna is served by Jefferson Parish Schools, which includes highly rated institutions like Thomas Jefferson Academy for Advanced Studies, St. Cletus Catholic School, Archbishop Shaw, and Academy of Our Lady. Mel Ott Park, named after the baseball legend, offers baseball fields, a playground, and an indoor recreation center, while Gretna City Park features trails, ponds, and a kayak launch. Violent crime rates are below the national average. Gretna's low elevation and Gulf Coast location make it susceptible to hurricanes and flooding, with significant portions within FEMA-designated flood zones.
