West End blends resort-town roots with modern convenience
Found between Metairie and Lakeview, the West End neighborhood of New Orleans combines 200 years of history with today’s convenient access to major roadways, water recreation and everyday essentials. Part bedroom community, part recreational district, the West End is also a boathouse community, with more than 130 such homes surrounding the New Orleans Municipal Yacht Harbor. Founded in the 1830s, it became a nationally recognized resort town only a few years later and was even called the “Coney Island of New Orleans.” In 1871, the state allowed the Mexican Gulf Ship Canal Company to drain marshland near Lake Pontchartrain to create more land for homes and businesses. The gambit worked, and by 1921, enough land had been dredged and stacked to create West End Park, which is still open today. The community is ideally placed between Lake Pontchartrain and Veterans Memorial Boulevard, so residents can enjoy the pleasures of the water, along with shopping centers, restaurants, green spaces and marinas.

Condos, contemporary homes and boathouses on Lake Pontchartrain
The West End is filled with condos, townhouses and single-family homes. There are lots of boathouses from the 1950s as well. Single-family styles include contemporary, ranch-style and traditional designs and generally range from about $200,000 to upwards of $1 million. Lawns are well cared for and some use native plants and shrubs in the landscaping.

Municipal yacht harbor and park offer lake access and green space
One of the major attractions of the West End neighborhood is the New Orleans Municipal Yacht Harbor, which can accommodate 455 boats of varying sizes in its slips and has a fishing pier and boat launch. The harbor was nearly destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and rebuilding efforts took more than a decade. Today, it has been restored and remains one of the major entry points to Lake Pontchartrain. West End Park is directly adjacent to the municipal harbor. The 14-acre green space was created in 1921 with land dredged from the lake and was fashioned after the “pleasure gardens” of the late 1800s. The park is surrounded by water, making it a restful island just minutes from the hubbub of Veterans Boulevard. Ringed by oak trees, the space has a lagoon, a central fountain and a footbridge. There’s also a three-quarter mile walking trail and plenty of benches and tables.

Dining and drinks with a view near the water
Another perk of the neighborhood is the abundance of dining options. Two Tony’s Restaurant is a family-owned establishment specializing in Italian cuisine, Louisiana seafood and handcrafted cocktails. They use family recipes to give the dishes authenticity, and the Montalbano family makes their own line of marinara sauce. Opened in 1989, this eatery invites everyone to try a Kraken hurricane, Pontchartrain punch or a classic martini while relaxing in the outdoor seating area. Groceries are available at Robért Fresh Market Lakefront.
