The city of Waggaman is home to our highly sought-after Live Oak Estates community and we knew it would be the perfect spot to build our next upcoming community, Water Oaks. With a steadily growing population and numerous activities to get involved in just outside of the city of New Orleans—you'll never have a dull moment when you live around the area.

When you’re in the mood for something decadent, there’s no better place to frequent for some full Italian fare than Mosca’s Restaurant. With an incredible menu offering the best of the best in specialty Italian cuisines—this family-owned restaurant has been a staple in the area for over 60 years, and it will continue to bring joy to the city for many more years to come. 

For the final entry in your daily food diary—dessert is always a must. From Creme Fraiche Cafe and Norma’s Sweets Bakery to Sweet Handcraft and La Petite Sophie, you will always find something in your favorite shops for the perfect late night treat to round out the day.

The Northlake Nature Center has over 400 acres for visitors to explore, and with monthly programs to take advantage of, there will always be a way for you to enjoy an active lifestyle. With a full calendar of activities to take part in, sign up for a Walk in the Woods guided tour through the nature preserve where you’ll be taught how to identify a number of different native plants that co-exist within the diverse ecosystem. 

With a number of pristine lakes surrounding the area, you’ll also want to make sure you try out the Canoe & Trail Adventure tour where you’ll be taken on a 3-hour outing through the waters, hear about the history of the area and learn more about the beautiful natural habitat that surrounds you. 

City experiences  

When you live just outside of a city like New Orleans that is known for its constant nightlife entertainment options—you’ll always find the perfect spot to stop at for whatever mood strikes you on any given day. 

The music scene throughout the city is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. Jazz clubs such as Tipitina’s, The Spotted Cat Music Club and the Preservation Hall are just a few of the top spots you can check out throughout the city.
