Farther back is the prosperous Lakeview neighborhood with the commercial strip of Harrison Avenue, and across Robert E. Lee Boulevard the Lakeshore neighborhood, and at the northern end is Lakeshore Park along the lakefront. Hurricane Katrina hit most of the Ward hard (see: Effects of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans). Lakeview is only some dozen blocks from the notorious breach in the 17th Street Canal. Narrow strips of land at the two ends of the Ward, in the French Quarter by the Riverfront and on some of the higher ground of the Lakeshore, were above the flood waters. Some of the narrow strip of Metairie Ridge took on only minimal water. Most of the rest of the ward flooded significantly, often severely.
