The spotlight this week is on the Bellemeade subdivision in Gretna, Louisiana.
The Bellemeade subdivision is divided into two sections, Bellemeade North and Bellemeade South. Conveniently located, Bellemeade has easy access to both Belle Chasse Highway and Lapalco Blvd. making it a snap to get anywhere on the West Bank in minutes. Have a golfer in the family? Bellemeade is just around the corner from Timberlane Country Club and golf course.
Bellemeade residents enjoy an active homeowners association (Bellemeade Civic Association) and a private swim club located inside the boundaries of the subdivision at 501 Brookmeade Drive. Get more information about the swim club at http://bmswimclub.googlepages.com/.
