Slidell Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Louisiana

Surrounded by old pine forests, winding rivers and cypress swamps, the city of Slidell is located at the southeastern tip of St. Tammany Parish in Louisiana, a mere three miles from the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Both New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast are nearby and Slidell enjoys the local Cajun and Creole influence in its music, festivals, cuisine and parades. The city is intent on preserving its connection to the past; from beautiful southern mansions draped with cypress trees to “Antique Row” in Olde Towne where numerous community events are held throughout the year. Yet, Slidell is also a modern city with a flourishing business community and a nationally ranked school system. It is one of three local sites in NASA’s lunar landing program and its public school system serving more than 13,450 students is rated best in the state and well above average for many parts of the nation. Nearby institutions of higher learning are University of New Orleans, Delgado Community College, Tulane University and many more. More than 70,000 residents enjoy the warm, year-round climate in the Slidell area and many city parks provide numerous recreational opportunities, such as hosting soccer, football and other teams for our youth.
