| GENTILLY & NEW ORLEANS EAST |
Gentily Gentilly is a sprawling neighborhood falling east of City Park and beneath Lake Pontchartrain, with a high elevation for New Orleans, as most of the area stands about 10 feet ABOVE sea level. Like neighboring Lakeview, Gentilly is a community known for sprawling green lawns and park-like atmosphere. In 1909, development began in Gentilly Terrace, a neighborhood of impressive homes on the lake side of Gentilly Boulevard bounded by St. Roch and Franklin Avenues. The homes were all the more beautiful by being built up high upon the terraced lots. The rest of Gentilly was mostly developed in the fifties with many residences being constructed in new subdivisions such as beautiful Oak Park. Large oaks were saved in the planning of this neighborhood on the lake side of Mirabeau. Gentilly is also home to Dillard University, the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral which holds a fabulous Greek Festival every Memorial Day weekend, and the New Orleans Fairgrounds where Jazzfest is held annually.

New Orleans East New Orleans East is that area of New Orleans to the east of the Industrial Canal, bounded by Lake Pontchartrain to the north and the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet to the south. The revival of the Michoud NASA plant in 1961 for production of the first stage of the Saturn booster rocket led to a burst of new developments such as Village de l'Est, Venetian Isles, and Lake Forest.
