Metairie, LA Apartments for Rent

Metairie is the largest community in Jefferson Parish and sits along the south bank of Lake Pontchartrain, just minutes from downtown New Orleans. Its name comes from the French word "métairie," meaning small tenant farm, reflecting the area's agricultural roots dating back to the 1760s. Those looking for apartments for rent in Metairie will find a range of housing options throughout the community, from established neighborhoods in Old Metairie to modern apartment communities along Veterans Memorial Boulevard, with average rents that remain below the national average.

Renting in Metairie offers the advantage of suburban living with convenient access to big-city amenities. The community features excellent shopping at Lakeside Shopping Center, recreational opportunities at the 155-acre Lafreniere Park, and dining options ranging from authentic Cajun cuisine to international fare. Commuters benefit from easy access to Interstate 10, which connects directly to New Orleans and Baton Rouge, while the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway provides a direct route north. The area also serves as home to the training facilities for the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans, and residents can enjoy local Mardi Gras celebrations and events throughout the year without venturing into the French Quarter.
