Mandeville LA Homes; New Homes Mandeville The Mandeville Journey Is there any other place you'd rather be than in your Mandeville, LA real estate? One with its natural environment, this city in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana blends in rather than sticking out like a sore thumb. It is a very classic southern neighborhood where you can still find century-old wooden houses that were once the norm in the area. And you can still feel the same hospitality that the south is famed for when you hang out with your neighbor and have a nice refreshing glass of sweet tea as you sit on lawn chairs talking about your day.
This area on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain is quite laid back, reflecting its origins as a mainly agricultural land in the 1800s. When Bernard Xavier de Marigny de Mandeville decided to plan and develop 5,000 acres of land, he had a vision of a new town that would prosper but still retain its natural roots. In 1840, the town was incorporated and soon many wealthy New Orleanians came to vacation in this utopia.
When the plans for the city were drawn up, it was made sure that there would be no obstructions made to the space between the street and the lake, this is why up until this day you have unparalleled views of the pristine body of water where sail boats gently get blown by the breeze.
Soon the spacious lots bordered by tall pines and hardwoods were selling like hotcakes as Bernard Xavier de Marigny de Mandeville ferried prospective buyers across the lake on a steamboat to grab a piece of Mandeville living. But it wasn't only the wealthy who enjoyed the fresh air in this land beyond the lake, towards the end of the 1800s the destination became a popular spot for the middle class of New Orleans to sit back and enjoy a sweet vacation.
Now, this city with a total area of 6.8 square miles, serves as the gateway to the delightful Northshore and home to more than 10,000 people. Though it is really quite close to New Orleans, the lifestyle one experiences here is different. The fusion of man-made structures and the environment around it brings about a feeling of harmony. Perhaps this is why the sales are up for new homes. Mandeville was also recently listed as one of the Top 100 places to live by the Relocate America website.
Fair weather, tree-lined streets with branches bending over to provide one with a refuge from the sun, the scent of magnolias wafting through the air, friendly wildlife lazing about, and amazing people have sure carried out the vision that Bernard Xavier de Marigny de Mandeville had when he first laid eyes on the place.
