Metairie, LA
Metairie sits directly adjacent to New Orleans along the higher, more flood-resistant ridge of land that gives the area its name — "metairie" derives from a French term for a sharecropping arrangement once common on the plantations that occupied the land before suburban development took over in the 20th century. The community saw a substantial population influx after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, as many New Orleans residents whose homes had flooded relocated to Metairie's comparatively higher ground, accelerating growth trends that had already been building in the unincorporated Jefferson Parish suburb for decades. Lakeside Shopping Center, one of the larger regional malls in the greater New Orleans area, anchors a substantial commercial corridor along Veterans Memorial Boulevard that's made Metairie a significant retail destination for the entire metro area, not just its own residents. Metairie's combination of higher, less flood-prone ground relative to much of New Orleans proper, a substantial post-Katrina population influx, and significant regional retail development has made it the largest and most consistently populous suburb anywhere in the greater New Orleans metropolitan area.
VS
Kenner, LA
Kenner is home to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, the primary commercial airport serving the entire New Orleans metro area, a location that's made the city a natural hub for airport-adjacent hotels, logistics companies, and businesses catering to air travelers passing through the region. The city sits along the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain's southern shore, and its Rivertown historic district has preserved a cluster of small museums and 19th-century buildings along the river, giving Kenner a genuine historic core distinct from its more modern airport-driven commercial identity. Like much of the greater New Orleans area, Kenner sits on low-lying land protected by an extensive levee system, and the city's flood-control and pumping infrastructure has been a subject of continued regional investment and public attention in the decades since Hurricane Katrina exposed serious vulnerabilities across the broader metro area's flood defenses. Kenner's combination of hosting the region's primary international airport, a preserved historic Rivertown district along the Mississippi, and its position within the broader New Orleans area's flood-management system has made it one of the more distinctively positioned suburbs anywhere in the metro area.
