About New

Mechanickham

New Mechanickham, located between the Mississippi River levee and the Westbank Expressway, is a residential and riverfront Gretna neighborhood with a working-waterfront edge and a porch-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Huey P. Long Avenue near the Gretna Ferry Landing, where coffee counters, casual seafood spots, and small galleries set a steady, walkable rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward classic Westbank cottages and mid-century ranch homes, with pockets of newer infill. The levee path frames daily routines with long river views and passing towboats. Gretna’s historic core sits close by, adding courthouse-square energy and festival spillover. Community pillars include the Gretna Heritage Festival, the Gretna Cultural Center for the Arts, and the German-American Cultural Center.
