Greenleaves Neighborhood Guide – Mandeville, LA
A Local Expert’s View from Nola Northshore Real Estate
Welcome to Greenleaves, one of Mandeville’s most established and conveniently located neighborhoods. As the broker-owner of Nola Northshore Real Estate, I’ve had a personal connection to Greenleaves for decades. My dad has called this neighborhood home for over 30 years and still commutes across the Causeway to Metairie every day. That daily drive is exactly why he (and so many others) never want to leave: it’s simply the best location on the entire Northshore.
Why Greenleaves Feels Like the Center-of-the-Universe Living
- Only 5 minutes to the Causeway bridge: most residents reach Metairie in about 35 minutes and the New Orleans CBD in 45–50 minutes (even in normal traffic).
- Truly central on the Northshore itself: quick access to the Mandeville lakefront, Pelican Park, Premier Centre shopping, and a short drive west to Madisonville or east on Hwy 190 to Covington.
- Sidewalks throughout the main neighborhood thoroughfare, a rarity on the Northshore! You’ll see families walking dogs, neighbors jogging, and kids riding bikes just about any evening.
The Look and Feel That Makes Greenleaves Special
When the neighborhood was developed in the 1980s, the builders preserved an impressive amount of the original trees. Mature oaks and pines give almost every street a shaded, park-like feel in the middle of suburbia. I briefly lived here myself and still tell people it’s one of the prettiest drives in St. Tammany Parish, especially in spring when the azaleas are blooming.
Greenleaves is laid out in a way that keeps things intimate and quiet. The main boulevard is Greenleaves Blvd, and each street that branches off has its own personality – some sections are traditional single-family homes on larger lots, others have patio homes or small condo enclaves. No matter which pocket you’re in, the neighborhood keeps its private, wooded charm.
Schools, Amenities Everyday Convenience
- Top-rated Mandeville schools: Woodlake Elementary, Tchefuncte Middle, and Mandeville High (all inside Mandeville city limits).
- Minutes from Premier Centre shopping center, Whole Foods, Target, Starbucks, and the Trace for weekend farmers markets.
- Easy hop to the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, Fontainebleau State Park, Old Mandeville and the Lakefront
- Connection to the St. Tammany Trace via safe sidewalks on Lonesome Road. Perfect for weekend bike rides to the lakefront.
Real Estate Snapshot (as of late 2025)
Homes in Greenleaves typically range from the high $300s to $800s+, depending on size, updates, and whether the property backs up to green space. Inventory moves steadily but rarely sits long – buyers love the combination of location, maturity, and walkability.
I’ve personally helped dozens of families buy and sell in Greenleaves over the years, so I know the nuances of every street and price point. Whether you’re relocating for work, downsizing, or looking for a family-friendly spot that still feels tucked away, this neighborhood checks almost every box.
