About Meraux
Meraux is a quiet suburban community in St. Bernard Parish, located just east of Chalmette and about twenty minutes from downtown New Orleans. Home to roughly 7,000 residents, it offers a relaxed, close-knit feel nestled between the Mississippi River and the Louisiana wetlands. Following extensive rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina, the area features newer homes, modern drainage improvements, and a strong sense of local pride.
Families here are zoned for the St. Bernard Parish public school system, with Arlene Meraux Elementary right in the neighborhood and Chalmette High serving older students. A unique local fixture is Docville Farm, a scenic cultural hub that hosts community gardens, educational programs, and seasonal events. Getting around is easy along Highway 46, giving residents a straightforward commute into the city while keeping everyday life peaceful and grounded.
