"O Little Town of Destrehan / You're still just about three miles / From end to end where I-310 / Has large and small reptiles" -- From "O Little Town of Destrehand" by Benny Grunch and the Bunch
If you have always dreamed of living in a small southeast Louisiana town sandwiched between a swamp and a levee with its own musical parody, than welcome to Destrehan, Louisiana. Situated on the east bank of the Mississippi River in St. Charles Parish, Destrehan offers enough distance from central New Orleans to make alligator and turtle sightings a daily occurrence when driving along Airline Highway. And yet, it is still close enough to the Big Easy that most residents make the 30-minute trek into the city, or to simply enjoy many of the area's famous attractions and live music. This is not rural living by any means; the swamp simply serves as picturesque backdrop when entering the town. However, the abundance of Cyprus trees throughout the community are dripping with enough moss to conjure up the dreamy stereotypes of South Louisiana towns. There are several other small towns surround Destrehan and if you venture even further West from Destrehan you will come across sugarcane fields and roadside stands selling strawberries, watermelon or shrimp depending upon the season.

Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.
Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.
You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.
Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.
Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.
Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for Destrehan renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
