237 Martin Ln

The 70083 area spans river communities in Plaquemines Parish, south of New Orleans, where the Mississippi River corridor meets broad wetlands and bayous. Myrtle Grove, Encalade, Woodland, Home Place and West Pointe à la Hache have a largely rural, low-density setting shaped by waterways, levees, marshland and a warm, humid Gulf Coast climate. Outdoor life centers on fishing, boating and access to open water and wetland scenery; local services and dining are scattered, with more options found along the river road and in larger nearby communities. Historic churches and civic buildings reflect the parish’s long ties to the river and its fishing and agricultural traditions. Driving is the main way to get around, while bridges, ferries and river crossings connect settlements along the corridor; public transit and concentrated shopping or nightlife are limited.
