Slidell, LA
Slidell sits at the eastern end of Lake Pontchartrain's north shore, close to the Mississippi state line, and its position along Interstate 10 and Interstate 12 has made it a significant transportation crossroads for traffic moving between New Orleans, the Gulf Coast, and points further east. The city's Olde Towne Slidell historic district has preserved a walkable cluster of early-20th-century commercial buildings along Erlanger Street, giving the city a small-town downtown core distinct from its newer highway-corridor commercial development. Slidell was significantly impacted by Hurricane Katrina's storm surge in 2005, with substantial flooding across parts of the city, and its recovery and subsequent growth in the years since have made it one of the more closely watched examples of north shore rebuilding and continued suburban expansion in the broader New Orleans metro area. Slidell's combination of its position as a major interstate transportation crossroads, a preserved small-town historic downtown in Olde Towne, and its post-Katrina recovery and growth has made it one of the larger and more strategically positioned suburbs anywhere on Lake Pontchartrain's north shore.
VS
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.
