Country Club Gardens

Country Club Gardens is a residential neighborhood in Planning District Five (D5) of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States comprising homes along six streets: The area is bound to the north by the Lakewood neighborhood, and is separated from that area by the raised right-of-way of the Norfolk Southern Railway; to the east by the Metairie Cemetery and the golf course of the New Orleans Country Club; and, to the south and West, by the 17th Street Canal, one of the main arteries draining rain water out of the city and north to Lake Pontchartrain.

Because of the physical location and the street network, the neighborhood enjoys one of the lowest crime rates in the city of New Orleans.

The three streets north of Metairie Road, Maryland, Bellaire and Fairway are connected via lanes named after women in the Friedrichs family which owned the plantation which comprised the land before it was sub-divided in 1924: Marguerite, Hedwige, Ethel and Natale.

Longue Vue House and Gardens, a mansion on Bamboo Road, is open to the public for tours.

Fairway Drive is covered by a canopy of oak trees which provide residents welcome relief from the sun and humid heat of summertime New Orleans.
