HOUSING

HOUSING IN BOSSIER AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS

Bossier is broken up into two sections; North Bossier and South Bossier. Below you will find a selection of our fine neighborhoods to help you decide where your next home will be.

NORTH BOSSIER

North Bossier is both convenient to most things you need, and yet peaceful with its large pastures and woodlands. With I-220 only minutes from residential areas, residents can gain access to the area’s regional airport, casinos, Downtown Shreveport, or Cross Lake. The shopping and dining along Airline Drive and nearby Benton Road, is diverse and widespread. From a national chain, to a locally owned business, these areas offer it all! In addition, a few minutes to the west is the Louisiana Boardwalk, with its movie theater, carousel for the kiddos and shopping fun. Willis-Knighton Bossier Hospital is also in close proximity, as well as several top notch private and public schools. All-inclusive neighborhoods, like Stonebridge and Old Oakes, include beautiful homes poised in a golf-course setting with tennis courts, pool and more for residents. Plenty of new neighborhoods abound in North Bossier, including Legacy, Kingston Plantation Subdivision and Lost River Estates.

SOUTH BOSSIER

With easy access to many great aspects of our community, South Bossier is a great place to find your home. It is home to Barksdale Air Force Base and is minutes from Arthur Ray Teague Parkway, allowing South Bossier residents to enjoy great shopping opportunities and all that both Shreveport and Bossier have to offer. South Bossier is also close to Lake Bistineau, the parks along the riverfront and the Brookshire Grocery Arena, which is a hub of great entertainment in the area.

HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS

If you are looking for a historic home full of charm and character, our area has plenty of that as well. The Highland and South Highlands neighborhood of Shreveport are just across the Red River from Bossier City, making it convenient to live in a 100-year-old home with established tree cover, charm and elegance, and enjoy a very short commute to work anywhere in Bossier-Shreveport. To the east down Interstate 20, the smaller city of Minden also boasts the historic charm with a small-town feel.
