East Shreveport
Suburban Neighborhood in Shreveport, Louisiana
Caddo Parish 71105, 71106
Traveling down Shreveport’s Youree Drive will take you to the inviting neighborhood of East Shreveport. Part of the Southeast Shreveport Shopping District, the area offers one-of-a-kind retail and dining options. Louisiana State University-Shreveport is located at the southern edge of the neighborhood, and a national wildlife refuge is only minutes away. When asked what makes East Shreveport special, Realtor Emily Hays with Osborn Hays Real Estate says, “It’s the neighborhood itself. This is an established area with older homes. People play with their dogs outside, and there are good school districts.” She continues, “It’s often overlooked since it’s not a gated community. But it’s centrally located, and a great option for people coming to the area.”
Living in East Shreveport provides residents with a myriad of architectural styles and ages while still offering room to build. Most homes were constructed between the 1950s and the 1970s, although you’ll find some contemporary new construction, as well. Midcentury beauties mingle with ranch-style residences, cottages, Acadians, and Greek Revival houses. Homeowners take care to maintain their dwellings, and prices range from $135,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bath brick house to $700,000 for a five-bedroom, seven-bath midcentury home.
Students in East Shreveport have the option of choosing from numerous schools, from private to charter to public. Broadmoor STEM Academy began as a junior high school before transitioning to a prekindergarten through eighth-grade STEM-focused facility in 2020. In addition to an active parent-teacher association, it has a robotics club, cheerleading and a National Junior Honor Society. Caddo Middle Magnet has been named one of the best public schools in Louisiana by Niche and invites children to try fencing, swimming, archery and tennis. C.E. Byrd High School is a National Blue Ribbon institution that opened in 1925. It offers advanced placement courses, as well as a dual enrollment program with Louisiana Tech University.
Akin’s Nursery can help you take your lawn to the next level. In business more than 80 years, the shop has one of the largest selections of plants, yard decorations and gift décor in the ArkLaTex region. Specializing in landscape design, installation and maintenance, the store can help turn your yard into a private haven complete with flower beds, footbridges, water features and ponds. It also holds classes on the last Saturday of each month on topics like growing your own fruit and vegetables, native Louisiana flora and planting in the fall.
If you’re craving an outdoor adventure close to home, East Shreveport has just the spot for you. The Red River National Wildlife Refuge covers thousands of acres of hardwood forest, cypress sloughs, and scrub swamps. In addition to five miles of walking trails, sporting people can hunt, fish, bike and paddle in the diverse habitats of the Red River Valley. Opened in 2012, the refuge has a large visitor’s center, an educational center, and free programming on Louisiana wildlife throughout the year.
On your way back into town, stop by Bergeron’s Boudin and Cajun Meats. Founded in 2002 by Craig “Moonie” Bergeron, the shop focuses on wood-smoked Cajun treats such as specialty sausages made with unique spices, rubs and flavors. The eatery also caters so you can have delicious pasta dishes, seafood platters and more for any event you can imagine.
Close to major roadways, a university and numerous entertainment options, the sometimes-overlooked East Shreveport neighborhood deserves a second look.
