Downtown Convenience with Historic Charm

With a spot in music’s history books, Downtown Riverfront is the place to go for entertainment in Shreveport. For example, it’s home to the Municipal Auditorium, where the famed country music radio and television show Louisiana Hayride was once broadcast. Visible during the day, colorful murals adorn brick walls throughout the neighborhood, thanks to initiatives such as Shreveport Commons, a conglomerate repurposing downtown spaces for artists and art programming. At night, the Texas Street Bridge, also known as the Long-Allen Bridge, lights up a section of the Red River that flows across from two resort casinos.

Close to University & Shopping

Situated around the Shreveport campus of Louisiana State University, the Spring Lake/University Terrace community is a late 20th-century suburb with sizable homes, high-rated schools and vast commercial retail centers. With its neatly arranged set of homes tucked along curvilinear neighborhood streets and private drives, children can play outside and ride bikes in the street, while neighbors say hello and look out for each other. While following similar development patterns, the few subdivisions here bear little resemblance to each other.

Laidback, Southern Neighborhood in Historic Shreveport

On the outskirts of Shreveport, Louisiana, Jenkins-Pinecroft is a community of subdivisions with laidback Southern charm.

History & Convenience

The neighborhood of Mooretown and Hollywood Heights has a unique history and appears to be a community ready to undergo revitalization. The area was founded in the early 1900s by a group of African Americans led by Giles D. Moore and grew to be a completely independent town by the time it was annexed by Shreveport in the late 1940s. Mr. Moore also created Hollywood Avenue as a sort of downtown for his city. Today, the area is called Hollywood Heights, and the avenue still runs through it.

Sunset Acre Has Untapped Potential

One of Shreveport’s Oldest Communities

Designed in a large grid pattern, Queensborough is one of Shreveport’s older neighborhoods. More than half of the homes are from before the 1950s. While the community is an old part of the city, it almost has an old suburb feel. Filled with old-growth trees throughout all its blocks, the streets are lined with Craftsman bungalows and ranch-style properties, almost all valued for under $100,000.

Affordable Waterfront Living

Just 6 miles from Downtown Shreveport, the Country Club Hills-Lakeshore neighborhood stretches from the runways of the airport to the shores of Cross Lake. One of the area’s cultural landmarks, the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum, was built on the edges of this and other working-class neighborhoods so that art and history would be available to everyone. Consistent with that something-for-everyone notion, you can find both investment and starter homes here, as well as newer, larger homes near the lakefront.

A Sought-after Lakeside Community

Western Hills-Yarborough is a quiet neighborhood situated on a southern portion of Shreveport’s Cross Lake. According to Antonio Zavarce, a real estate agent and team leader of Hello House who has sold several homes in the neighborhood, it can be difficult to find recent comps because people aren’t quick to sell. Most homes in Western Hill-Yarborough are single-family homes in styles like ranches and contemporaries on lots that average more than a third of an acre. The neighborhood comprises winding, suburban streets with mature trees and plenty of cul-de-sacs.

Storied History and Nascent Renewal 

The streets of Allendale-Lakeside showcase the area’s history, with shotgun houses and bungalows built as far back as the 1920s all the way through the ‘80s. These homes tend to sit right on the street, with limited lawn space or elbow room between neighbors, though mature trees burst with greenery from the backyard. Not all houses have driveways; some only have a narrow staircase from the sidewalk leading straight to a modest front porch.

Community Engagement and Convenient Proximity

Martin Luther King Jr is a suburban neighborhood situated northwest of downtown Shreveport. With nearby roadways and free bus fares, residents have ample access to surrounding amenities and attractions.  Breaking off from Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, the community’s main line, is the neighborhood’s narrow residential streets.
