Venetian Isles (Template:Langx) is a neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana.[1] It is located on the western shore of the Chef Menteur Pass, a short waterway on the southeastern edge of Lake Pontchartrain, and on the northern side of U.S. Highway 90.
Legally a part of the city, Venetian Isles is separated from the bulk of the developed portion of New Orleans by miles of undeveloped land. It long had the appearance of a small fishing town. In the late 20th century it saw development as a suburban style bedroom community. The ruins of the abandoned 19th-century Fort Macomb are just south of Venetian Isles, along Chef Menteur Pass.
Venetian Isles was hit hard by storm surge during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.[2] As it lies outside of the City's levee system,[3] it experienced damage similar to that seen in Pearlington, Mississippi and Pass Christian. The neighborhood is flood-prone, with flooding occurring both during hurricanes and strong thunderstorms.[4]
Former 2nd District Congressman Joseph Cao makes his home in Venetian Isles.
