Barataria Oaks Estates •  Marrero LA Neighborhood Barataria Oaks Estates is located off Barataria Blvd. in Marrero, LA, on the West Bank of New Orleans.  Just far enough from New Orleans to feel suburban, it's still less than a 30 minute commute to downtown, the French Quarter and most of the city attractions. Situated on the edge of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park, you'll be just minutes away from the natural beauty that south Louisiana has to offer in the form of bayous, swamps, nature trails and more. Development began in 2004, with the newest homes completed in the last 5 years.  Both Viola Homes and LA Homes were builders in this small community of 3 and 4 bedroom homes ranging from 1550 to 2500 square feet of living area and featuring attached garages and fenced yards.
