Do Not Buy 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 31, 2019) Do not buy the house at 1024 Brandon Drive Slidell, LA 70461. The owners are misleading potential buyers about the foundation of the house. It is cracked and sinking in the northwest corner. When my husband and I did a walk through, we noticed this and immediately asked the re ...Read More altor about it.

Slidell is no more dangerous than Terrytown 4 rating By donna /gary hornock ( Jan 30, 2014) Slidell is a Amtrak stop about 25 miles ne of New Orleans. We have visited and hung out in Slidell many, many times. The food is A plus, the culture is great, and the people are similar to the ones in Terrytown ((some of the best, most special people on the planet with some lowli ...Read More fe.) The cost of living is not cheap. The insurance costs in LA are incredible. Southern Louisiana has some of the most beautiful skies at times, and some of the most intense rain storms (including destructive hurricanes.) Great eating is a way of life in Slidell. In addition to our favorite chains: Piccadilly, Cici's, and Shoneys, there are some local restaurants like Sicily's and Times Grill that offer food unlike anywhere else. There is salt water shoreline along Lake Pontchartrain, and a state park, Fountainbleau with its' own nice beach about 18 miles west. Slidell is ethnically diverse, but contains a smaller black population than Terrytown (30 miles SW.) Catholics and Baptists make up the two largest groups. For familes, straight couples, and retirees, Slidell should definately be considered. Slidell, like most of LA is religiously active, and offers four Catholic Churches. One of the nicest is Saint Margaret Mary off Robert Road on the north side of town. The "high" crime rate is probably a little lower than Terrytown. The "low" cost of living is also another misconception because of high auto and homeowners. Read Less
