that's pretty much the rub on the Coast. if you want to be close to shopping and entertainment, then you'll be close to a bad element or three. For Dhead, you can do most any shopping you'd need in Gport on the way home, and there's also Slidell only 20 minutes away. if 20 minutes is too much, then look at Long Beach and Gport.
