Where is Avondale La? I know its close to big city, but is it affordable/nice living or what? pros/cons? I applied for a job down there and just rying to find as much info as I can about the area.

IT's a burb across the Mississippi from New Orleans. Pretty close to hunting and fishing in Lafitte. Some of the locals may want to chime in.

There is a shipyard and a skeet/trap range.That is all I know about Avondale,sorry.

Its don't look like much from the Hwy. BUT hey, its got a really nice land fill!

The good thing about Avondale is that you can work there and live anywhere you won't without a huge commute. You have your choice of the big city, the ghetto, fairly white suburbs, even whiter suburbs a little farther in the country or you could even live in the swamp.

One other choice is "Da Parish". Someone else will have to give you details on that area.

TPC of LA is there and according to your forum name may be the reason you have applied for a job there. Seems to be a fairly nice area but after roaming up and down Canal St. and Bourbon St. for an evening anything better than those 2 seems real nice.

u hit the nail on the head phathead

its a rural burb of new orleans. its an industrial area mainly. they do have some good areas out there but bad just like any other place. If i was you i would live in gretna area. its 10 min away by the westbank expressway and you dont have the problems that you would normally have. the coons dont run rampant around that area b/c they know that gretna police will put a serious ass whoopin on them. westwego is another good area that is like 5 mins away, blaze actually lives in westwego so he could tell you better about that area. stay away from the new orleans side of the westbank. from gretna on you should be good if your around hwy 90. they do have some nice areas there and they have some shitty ones too.

Westwego if you want to live close to Avondale shipyard. My parents live in Avondale and its got real dark since Katrina. They a couple of house for sale in Westwego and Avondale. If your looking you could send me some street names and I could let you know if the area is ok or not. Price of living isn't that bad got some good deals on houses with the market like it is.

Thanks guys, I havent even been offered a job there jsut applied for one and wanted some info on the area. Im hoping to find a job somewhere in La,Ms,Al, or Arky

where do you live now?

Louisville Ms, but go to school in Lake City Florida

Stick to the east bank, the wank doesn't have much to offer

It's a old sub-burb, becarefull where in avondale you buy, I would look at willowdale just a few miles down the road. Where's the job. Pm me you # and I will tell were to look based on you market.

Pm me if u land the job. I know several people that work at the shipyard. You do not want to live in Avondale or most of the Westbank of Jefferson Parish. Gretna is ok, but i would highly recommend Metairie which would give you a 15-30 min commute. Good luck. Oh yeah, dont park a nice car at the shipyard every day.

Dam yall killing the westbank.
You couldn't pay me to live in Metairie. If you go across the river goto Haranah.

metry is a dream compared to baton rouge. just moved here last month... F*CK THIS PLACE!!!

hating on the wankers.
the westbank isn't as bad as everyone thinks, actually most people on the eastbank have never been to the westbank before in their lives.

you couldn't pay me to live within 50 miles of new orleans.... east bank, west bank, metarie.... it don't matter it all fukin sucks.

Baton Rouge too for that matter.
