Slidell is a friendly, affordable Lake Pontchartrain suburb with a walkable historic district, easy access to bayou fishing and kayaking, lively seafood spots and community festivals—an inviting, low-stress base for multi-week contracts that still feels like a place you could call home.
Weekends stay interesting: New Orleans’ world-class food, music and arts are a short drive away, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast (Gulfport/Biloxi) is within easy reach for beaches and casinos.
