Slidell's close proximity to New Orleans and Baton Rouge have made the area one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in Louisiana.
In recent years there has been much new residential, and commercial, growth and development, including hotels and motels which also serve the New Orleans area during major events such as the Super Bowl, Sugar Bowl and Final Four Tournaments.
Slidell, Louisiana is located at the junction of Interstate Highways I-10, I-12 and I-59.
Strategically located close to Baton Rouge to the west, and New Orleans to the south, Slidell is an important element of the East Louisiana infrastructure.
Located in St. Tammany Parish, the City of Slidell is near the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area.
Slidell is a gem in southeastern Louisiana on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, a quiet, friendly community. There are lots of festivals, a swamp with elusive alligators, delightful shopping, fine dining and excellent accommodations.
Many of the things that make Slidell such a great place to visit also make it a great place to live. The tree-shaded streets of Olde Towne are filled with visitors and vendors from throughout the south during the Antique District Street Fair in the spring and fall. Every November brings Arts Evening, one of the area's largest cultural festivals, featuring the works of over 100 artists and a variety of live entertainment throughout Olde Towne.
Five star shopping awaits at North Shore Square, the only regional mall that offers five anchor stores, plus a variety of specialty shops. Christmas Under the Stars twinkle in Griffith Park two weekends in December.
Slidell is close to the technology centers at NASA's Stennis Space Center and Lockheed Martin Manned Space Systems, the intrigue and hotspots of New Orleans and the beaches and casinos along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
For more information, we recommend a visit to the website of the City of Slidell, and the website of the St. Tammany Parish Tourist & Convention Commission.
