About

Lakeshore

Lakeshore, located between Lake Pontchartrain and the London Avenue Canal, is a waterfront and residential New Orleans neighborhood with a marina-lined shoreline and mid-century streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Lakeshore Drive by the New Orleans Lakefront Marina, where sail masts, bait shops, and low-key seafood counters set a breezy, salt-air rhythm. Ranch-style homes and tidy brick houses sit on wide lots, with canals and levee paths shaping daily routes. Lakefront views and open sky give the area a calm, coastal feel inside the city. Dining and gathering often orbit around Landry’s Seafood House and the Basin Seafood & Spirits waterfront patio. Sunset walks track the seawall, with boats and pelicans as constant scenery.
