McDonoughville, located between the Mississippi River levee and the Westbank Expressway, is a historic and residential Gretna neighborhood with a riverfront edge and a small-town street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Huey P. Long Avenue near the Gretna Ferry Landing, where corner bars, casual seafood counters, and working-river views set the tone. Gretna Depot, the German-American Cultural Center, and the David Crockett Fire Station Museum act as local touchstones for history and community life. Shotgun houses and Creole cottages mix with modest mid-century homes on walkable blocks. The levee path frames daily routines with breezes and passing ships. Nearby festival grounds and civic buildings keep the calendar active without changing the laid-back pace.
