Apartments for Rent in Destrehan, LA with Garages

"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.

For those who want to experience living in a small community where the local civic association is the most happening group in town, but still have access to performances at the Saengar Theatre and dining at Commander's Palace, Destrehan certainly delivers
