- Proximity to New Orleans: The Parks of Plaquemines is located a little more than 10 short miles from the CBD (Central Business District) of New Orleans, close to it all but far enough away to enjoy the benefits.
- Hurricane Safety: The Parks of Plaquemines did not flood during either Hurricane Katrina or just recently – Hurricane Isaac. The reason for this is because it is protected by 2 levee systems: the Federal Mississippi River Levee and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway West Closure Complex.
- Excellent School System: Plaquemines Parish schools rival the top school district in Southeast Louisiana, which is St. Tammany Parish. Students in this parish have competitive scores and ratings.
- Lower Taxes: Because it’s Plaquemines Parish, the taxes are lower vs. New Orleans city district taxes, which just went up after 7 years of being low after Hurricane Katrina.
- Well-Run Government: Plaquemines Parish has a very stable government that is renowned for listening to its citizens and taking care of the community’s needs.
- Limited Access / Low Crime: Only one way in and out of the Parish, so law enforcement has an easier time patrolling the area.
- Community Specific Incentives: Low water and sewage rents, increases the value of the “home for the price” vs. living more expensively in the New Orleans city district.
