Westwego District I, located between the Mississippi River levee and Bayou Segnette, is a waterfront and working-class Westwego neighborhood with a riverfront industrial edge and a seafood-market pulse. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Westwego Shrimp Lot on Sala Avenue, where docks, ice chests, and small counters set a salt-air, early-morning rhythm. Low-slung cottages and mid-century ranch homes sit near warehouses and boat traffic, giving the streets a practical, lived-in look. The Westwego Farmers & Fisheries Market and the Shrimp Lot anchor local food culture with Gulf catch and produce. Bayou Segnette State Park frames the outdoor side with marsh views and launch points. The levee path and river views shape daily routines along the water.
