Madisonville is a fast-growing riverside community on the Tchefuncte River, known for new construction, boat access, waterfront living, and a genuinely active outdoor lifestyle — all with small-town character.
About Madisonville
Set where the Tchefuncte River meets Lake Pontchartrain, Madisonville pairs a historic riverfront downtown with newer neighborhoods spreading outward. The river is central to daily life here — boating, fishing, and waterfront dining are part of the appeal — and the town’s annual events and maritime heritage give it a distinct identity on the Northshore.
I’m Alyce Cartier, a Realtor® who has lived on the Northshore for 30+ years. Madisonville has changed a great deal as new construction has come in, and I can help you weigh the trade-offs — waterfront versus interior, new build versus established, and how flood elevation and insurance factor into a specific home.

Housing here spans a wide range:
Because so much of Madisonville’s appeal is tied to water, flood zones and insurance vary significantly from one property to the next — well worth checking carefully before you buy.
Lifestyle & recreation
Location & commuting
Madisonville sits just off Highway 22 with quick connections to Interstate 12 and a short drive to the Causeway for New Orleans commuters — close to everything while keeping its riverside, away-from-it-all feel.
