Mandeville, LA
Mandeville sits on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, connected to New Orleans on the lake's southern shore by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, which at nearly 24 miles is recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest bridge over a continuous body of water anywhere on Earth. That causeway connection has made Mandeville and the broader north shore area an increasingly popular alternative for New Orleans commuters seeking a quieter, more suburban lakefront community while still maintaining a manageable drive into the city for work, a pattern that's accelerated substantially since Hurricane Katrina. The city's lakefront promenade along Lake Pontchartrain and the Tammany Trace, a paved rail-trail built on a former railroad corridor running through several north shore communities, have given Mandeville an extensive network of walking and biking paths distinct from the more car-dependent development found in parts of the broader New Orleans suburban area. Mandeville's combination of its connection via the world's longest over-water bridge, a growing role as a north shore alternative for New Orleans commuters, and extensive lakefront and rail-trail recreation has made it one of the more distinctively positioned and increasingly popular suburbs anywhere in the greater New Orleans metropolitan area.
VS
Chalmette, LA
Chalmette is the site of the Battle of New Orleans, fought on January 8, 1815, in which General Andrew Jackson's forces decisively defeated a larger British army in the final major battle of the War of 1812 — a victory that, due to the slow transatlantic communication of the era, actually took place after a peace treaty had already been signed, though word hadn't yet reached either army. Chalmette National Battlefield, part of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, preserves the battlefield grounds and a national cemetery on the site, giving the small St. Bernard Parish community direct stewardship of one of the most significant battle sites in American military history. The community was devastated by Hurricane Katrina's storm surge in 2005, with St. Bernard Parish suffering some of the most severe and near-total flooding of the entire New Orleans metro area, and Chalmette's subsequent rebuilding has made it a frequently cited case study in Gulf Coast disaster recovery. Chalmette's combination of hosting one of the most historically significant battlefields in American history and its severe Katrina flooding and subsequent rebuilding has made it one of the most historically and recently consequential suburbs anywhere in the greater New Orleans metropolitan area.
