Where urban living meets the beauty of nature

Boating Biking Hiking Fishing Lakeside Restaurants Shopping Family-Friendly Nature Trails Affordable

Mandeville, Louisiana is a small city on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Just across the lake, you’ll find Louisiana’s most popular tourist spot, New Orleans. At one time, Mandeville was a lakeside summer resort for the wealthy, and remains from that time can be found in the older parts of the city, like the historic properties on Lakeshore Drive. The city’s well-established, wooded suburbs come with upscale amenities, like fine dining, local shops, and day spas. For the best fine dining, seafood cuisine, and water views on the North Shore, be sure to visit Rips on the Lake.

For nature lovers, Fontainebleau State Park is the place to be. With cabins, campsites, and a 31-mile trail for biking and hiking, the park is a one-stop-shop for outdoor recreation. Boating is a popular activity on Lake Pontchartrain with boat ramps and marinas located along the shore. For swimming and family-friendly fun, visit Mandeville Lakefront Splash Park and Beach, and for fishing, travel over to Sunset Point Fishing Pier. Once you find your affordable apartment in Mandeville, explore the outdoors and lavish city amenities in your new home!
