Kenner is the largest incorporated city in Jefferson Parish — Driftwood, Highway Park, Susan Park, Chateau Estates, and the Lakeshore neighborhood near Lake Pontchartrain make up most of the residential stock. The lake-proximate northern neighborhoods carry their own wind-exposure considerations, and the mix of 1960s-80s single-family and newer subdivision construction means a wide variety of roof systems on adjacent blocks.
