Just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans, Bent Tree Estates in Marrero, LA is the neighborhood of the week.
Originally developed in the late 1980s, Bent Tree is located just off of the Lafitte Larose Highway, with easy access to Barataria Boulevard, Lapalco Boulevard and the West Bank Expressway for commutes to anywhere in the metropolitan area. If you are stationed at NAS JRB New Orleans in Belle Chasse, your commute time will be approximately 20-30 minutes.
Within a short distance of Bent Tree Estates you will find plenty of retail shopping and dining. Or, travel south just 6 short miles to the Jean Lafitte National Park Barataria Preserve for a day in the great outdoors.
The Bent Tree Estates Civic Association helps in the maintenance of the community walking trail and the Tot Lot, a community park and playground for the kids. The civic association also organizes neighborhood activities such as the Easter Social, Garden of the Month, annual Night Out Against Crime and more. Annual dues are a bargain at only $25 per household.
New homes continue to be built in Bent Tree Estates, with Bent Tree Park now under construction by Viola Builders. When complete, homes in Bent Tree Park will be offered starting in the low $200s. Currently, resale homes in Bent Tree Estates start in the upper $100s.
Conveniently located within the subdivision, C. T. Janet Elementary School provides a public school within walking distance of most homes in the community. Students in Bent Tree Estates also have access to other Jefferson Parish Public Schools and West Bank parochial schools.
