Mixed-use in Metairie

Slashing across the heart of Metairie, the Clearview Transcontinental neighborhood is a densely populated enclave with easy access to the recreational pleasures and stunning views of Lake Pontchartrain, as well as major thoroughfares Interstate 10, Clearview Parkway and Veterans Memorial Boulevard. It also offers plenty of reasons to stay close to home, and that figures to be the case for a long time to come, thanks to a revitalization project dubbed Clearview City Center. “It’s centrally located, close to the city and has lower taxes than Orleans Parish,” points out Realtor Brittany Picolo-Ramos with Godwyn Realty, Era Powered. This makes it popular for those seeking modern homes, nearby amenities, yet a slightly suburban vibe.

Clearview-Transcontinental is just minutes away from Lake Pontchartrain.

Low fences make good neighbors

Traditional design, ranch-style homes and bungalows behind low picket fences are common throughout the neighborhood, although much of it is open due to a lack of mature trees. The low fences are a good fit for the residents who have grown up alongside each other - “It’s a close-knit community with people who have lived there for generations,” says Picolo-Ramos, “The neighborhood offers a very comfortable family feel.” Most homes feature off-street parking in driveways, while some feature car ports and garages – however, it’s common to find these converted into bonus rooms or enclosed porches. Single family homes generally sell for between $200,000 and $450,000, with larger four-bedroom homes garnering the higher price. Condos can usually be found in the $150,000 to $200,000 range. Mixed in throughout the community are apartments and townhouses catering to the renter.

Centrally retail and dining in a revitalized mall

Clearview City Center mixes small local and regional chains with national franchises and major retailers in a reborn shopping center. Local mini-chain Ruby Slipper Ruby Sunshine is brunch-only, but goes hard, serving mimosas and Bellinis alongside its specialty benedicts including bayou shrimp, eggs cochon, or chicken St. Charles. Shenanigans Kitchen and Cocktails provides lunch and dinner in an upscale watering hole with occasional live music, often going late into the night. Getting groceries is as easy as stopping by neighborhood staple Zuppardo’s Family Market. Family owned and operated for almost 100 years, it was the first self-service supermarket in the New Orleans area, and proudly sells local produce, meats and seafood.

Local Mardi Gras-adjacent activities are a highlight

With homes, industry, and commercial so tightly packed, residents head out of the neighborhoods for festivals and events. The biggest of these is Family Gras, Jefferson Parish’s kick-off to Mardi Gras, which takes place Friday through Sunday before the week gets underway. Headlined by national acts that have included everyone from the Beach Boys to Amy Grant to Zac Brown, it’s a family-friendly festival with food, children’s activities and more.

School choices system provides options

Served by the Jefferson Parish Schools, students in the neighborhood can benefit from the unique school choice system that allows them to head to magnet schools or those outside the attendance zone. Children within the attendance zone will start out at Hearst Elementary, graded a C-plus by Niche, and then split up depending on where they live. Some will head to Adams Middle School, then to East Jefferson High School, graded B-minus and C respectively. Others will move to Meisler Middle School then to Bonnabel High, earning a C-plus and C-minus respectively. Of course, with the school choice system, parents may apply for their children to stay with friends and head to a different school in the parish – or even to a magnet school such as the Airline Park Academy for Advanced Studies, an A-minus rated school just blocks from the neighborhood. Crescent City Christian School provides a private, faith-focused option.

Lush parks nearby for outdoor activity

As tightly packed as Clearview Transcontinental is, green space is non-existent. Luckily for residents, Lafreniere Park is nearby, a lush park with numerous soccer fields, a disc golf course, a children’s garden, a dog park, and walking trails. Anytime Fitness provides an indoor spot for residents looking to get a solid workout in.

Nearby amenities make for a walkable community

Public transit is limited, although the neighborhood is quite walkable and bikeable thanks to a through network of well-maintained sidewalks and quiet side streets. Being adjacent to Veteran Boulevard and Route 10 makes it easy to get around the city – Tulane-Lakeside Hospital, with a 24-hour emergency room, is only a half-mile south and can be reached in mere minutes. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, for flights across the country and beyond, is roughly five miles west.

Convenience, with caveats

Living between major roadways and near a shopping center brings convenience – but it also brings noise, and Clearview Transcontinental certainly suffers from this. Similarly, like much of New Orleans, there is an above-average flooding risk in the neighborhood, with canals lining the north and east borders.
