Introduction

Terre Sainte is representative of the New Urbanism movement as well as the rich heritage and culture of Louisiana. We have placed greater emphasis on architectural integrity, rather than size. The diversity in the city of New Orleans is clearly reflected in the architectural styles that flourish throughout the neighborhood. Here, Creole cottages and Bungalows mix with Greek Revival, Colonial, and Victorian styles. Each style has its own distinct character and personality, yet all work together to provide variety and interest throughout the neighborhood.

The three lot types allow for estate homes with carriage houses, cottages and porte-cocheres, and park front houses with private backyards.

Within walking distance you will find a bike and jogging path around the lake, a neighborhood park, and up and coming retail. Terre Sainte is a pedestrian friendly community and a return to the traditional concept of Main Street in America.

Expansive front porches and broad sidewalks ensure you can get to know your neighbors and your kids will have a gathering place to play. The neighborhood park can be used by residents for individual and family recreation, and will be used by the community as a whole for formal events and gatherings.
