Convenience and space just outside of New Orleans

Suburban Local Business River Convenient

Nearly nine miles outside New Orleans city center, Elmwood offers renters space and tranquility they wouldn’t typically find in the dense grid of the city. The center of Elmwood is home to large industrial estates, but there’s a variety of apartment communities along its border.

Elmwood Shopping Center inhabits the neighborhood’s eastern region, so residents won’t have to venture into the city for retail options and restaurants. There are a few popular bars and cafes where locals gather for a night out, and La Salle Park is just north of the neighborhood if you’re looking for somewhere to get some fresh air. US-61 and US-90 intersect in Elmwood, making it easy to explore New Orleans or head west to any of Louisiana’s other major cities.
