Hunters Grove is an established, walkable neighborhood

Home to Grace Christian School, Hunters Grove is a quiet, walkable Alexandria neighborhood close to shopping and dining. It’s bordered by Jackson Street and Versailles Avenue, two of the city’s main commercial thoroughfares, and just 4 miles from downtown. “Hunters Grove is adjacent to Charles Park, which for the last 50 years has been one of the more upscale neighborhoods in Alexandria. You get the implied relationship with Charles Park. Homes there keep their value,” says Rick Beck, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty who grew up in Alexandria. “It’s an established neighborhood. There are kids who grew up there, went away, and moved back with their own families. Many times, you’ll see multiple generations in that neighborhood.”

Hunters Grove's got curb appeal

Hunters Grove offers an attractive mix of Acadian and ranch-style houses, largely built in the 1980s ‘90s. Homes rest along sidewalk-lined streets with roomy lots of more than a quarter-acre. Properties are commonly adorned with ornamental trees and shrubbery. Some have pools and fenced-in backyards. “The homes in that neighborhood are well-maintained,” Beck says. Prices typically range from $275,000 to $425,000. “The average sale price in Alexandria is in the neighborhood of $250,000 to $350,000,” Beck says. “It’s slightly higher than Alexandria as a whole.”

Well-ranked Rapides Parish Public Schools and a private faith-based option

The Rapides Parish Public Schools district serves Hunters Grove. Students start at J.B. Nachman Elementary and then move on to Scott M. Brame Middle. Both schools have B-plus Niche ratings. Alexandria Senior High has an A rating and is ranked No. 1 out of 12 public high schools in Rapides Parish by Niche. “Hunters Grove is zoned for some of the area’s top-ranked schools,” Beck says. “Alexandria Senior High is just five minutes from there.” The neighborhood’s A-minus-rated Grace Christian School is a private prekindergarten through 12th grade option with 370 students.

Outdoor fun at Compton Park

Compton Park, a mile north on Wakefield Boulevard, has a playground and paved trails. It’s a popular spot to go for a jog or walk the dog. For golf and tennis, there’s the Alexandria Tennis Complex, which has eight outdoor courts and the Historic Bringhurst Golf Course, a public nine-hole course. The facilities are 4 miles away along Masonic Drive.

The Alexandria International Airport and St. Frances Cabrini Hospital are nearby

U.S. Highway 71 is just east of the neighborhood, allowing residents to easily navigate the city and beyond. Downtown is a 4-mile drive via Jackson Street. Christus St. Frances Cabrini Hospital, a 241-bed facility, is 3 miles away on Masonic Drive. The Alexandria International Airport is a 6-mile trip by way of Bayou Rapides Road. “It’s very central to everything in Alexandria,” Beck says. “In 12 minutes, you can be in the airport parking lot.”
