About Waggaman

Waggaman is a quiet, laid-back community situated along the West Bank of the Mississippi River in Jefferson Parish. Tucked along River Road, it offers a slower, small-town rhythm just outside the bustle of greater New Orleans. Residents enjoy a peaceful residential setting with scenic levee paths, local parks, and quick connections to Interstate 310 and Highway 90 for straightforward commutes across the metro area.

Living here places you directly across the water from Kenner and Harahan, giving you close proximity to suburban shopping and dining while keeping things calm at home. The area features established single-family neighborhoods, local schools, and easy access to outdoor recreation around nearby bayous and parks. For anyone looking for an affordable, down-to-earth West Bank neighborhood, Waggaman makes a comfortable place to settle down.
