Housing From historical homes with bountiful gardens to new single- and multi-family residential developments showing off the latest in architectural design, it’s all here. Whether you fancy the suburbs, urban neighborhoods within walking distance to school, downtown living or the quiet of the rural south, no worry – we’ve got you covered and without the hassle of long commutes to work or shop. The recent creation of the West Edge, an art district in the heart of downtown Shreveport, has encouraged the development of affordable housing specially designed for artists to live and work downtown. Throughout the Ark-La-Tex, new housing developments are underway to accommodate our growing community. All indicators are pointing toward a strong real estate market in 2006 for our area. Housing affordability and low interest rates will continue to be a driving force. Real estate relates to supply and demand, and in our area, the demand is growing. Louisiana property taxes are among the lowest in the nation, and with the $75,000 Homestead Exemption Act of Louisiana, home ownership is even more feasible here than in most other cities. Health Care Greater Shreveport has fast become a regional hub for health care and a nationally recognized medical community. A consortium of providers and researchers from the renowned Louisiana State University Health Services Center and Level 1 Trauma Center, the LSU Medical School, Overton Brooks VA Medical Center, Willis-Knighton Health System, the CHRISTUS Schumpert Health System, Doctors Hospital and the Shriner’s Hospital are working to meet the medical needs of tomorrow and to keep us at the forefront of health care advances. Retirement
Climate, community, and golden opportunities make Northwest Louisiana an ideal place to live after retirement. The security of a strong health care environment, reasonable cost of living, and housing options to suit any range of income have for many years convinced thousands of military retirees and their dependents to make Greater Shreveport their permanent home. From independent retirees on modest budgets to affluent seniors who need help with daily tasks, all enjoy the wealth of senior services and programs found here. If retirement means more time for exercise and entertainment, you are in the right place. Excellent fishing, beautiful walking trails along the Red River, signature golf courses, stage productions comparable to Broadway, musical shows from symphony to good ole rock-a-billy reminiscent of the days of the Louisiana Hayride are just a few options on a long list of things to do.
