We spent Sunday in Belle Chasse at the 2009 N’Awlins Air Show and it was AMAZING! I haven’t been to an air show since I was in high school and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. We started out early in the morning, stopping for breakfast before heading over to NAS JRB New Orleans. Even before 9 am, people were streaming through the gates and spreading out over the huge area next to the runway that the show took place on. The Virtual Army Experience was on hand, so we all signed up for our “mission” and took our places in a Humvee. Virtual reality took over and we were transported right into another place and time – charged with taking out the enemies along the way. If being in combat is even a half a hair as loud and confusing as this was, we should all shake the hand of the next soldier...

For sellers of older homes to compete with these younger houses, they need to be updated to offer the same type of amenities that buyers in the area are looking for.  Need a little help in under...

Overall for 2008, Belle Chasse is the bright spot in the West Bank real estate market. The number of homes sold remained steady from 2007, while the average sold price actually increased. This is a great performance, especially considering that home sales across the West Bank decreased both in number and average prices. Obviously, investing in real estate in Belle Chasse continues to be a good choice. Current real estate statistics for Belle Chasse LA: 50 Active listings, priced from $114,900 to $1,700,000 1 pending sale (home still being shown) priced at $419,000 6 homes are under contract, priced from $65,900 to $460,000 The average list price in Belle Chasse is $392,993 The median list price in Belle Chasse is $294,750 Belle Chasse LA - Number of Homes Sold 2008 With 50 active listin...

Belle Chasse is growing again! Take a drive down Woodland Highway and you'll see the signs. Slow down enough and you can see that just behind the tree line there is a flurry of clearing activity happening. A new residential development, The Parks of Plaquemines, is in the works and awaiting approval from the Parish Council.  Since Belle Chasse continues to be one of the highest demand areas to live in on the West Bank, especially for military relocations to NAS JRB New Orleans, it's a relief to see some new construction on the horizon. I had a chance to sit down with the developer this week to take a peek at what's in store at the newest exclusive West Bank community. Encompassing over 200 acres of wooded land, I truly expect The Parks of Plaquemines to be the latest feather in the cap ...

I was lucky enough to attend the Welcome Home Troops party this past Friday at the NAS JRB New Orleans base. The celebration was held to honor all of the troops who have come and gone from the base for the past year and all of the stops were pulled out.   There were inflatables for the kids to play on, a rock climbing wall for everyone and some deliciously cold sno-balls...then there were the clowns and the visits from Dora, Diego and the mascots from both the Hornets and the Zephyrs were on hand as well.   A line of tents were set up with activities for the kids, including cookie decorating and face painting.     Our Last Hope is the name of the new band formed by members of the on base Teen Center and they kicked things off with 4 songs. What a great job, especially since they have o...
