Fosters Homes for Rent

Fosters, about three miles east of Bossier City via Route 79, features large lots and country-club living near the city’s commercial district. The northern part includes gated communities like Stonebridge and Provident Oaks, known for homeowners associations, manicured lawns, and private golf courses. These areas offer a safe environment with secluded cul-de-sacs, ideal for families. Moving north, the neighborhood transitions to estates with open pastures and ponds. In the southern part, closer to I-20 and I-220, residents find postwar homes with quick access to shopping malls, local restaurants, and city parks. The area is popular among those commuting to Barksdale Air Force Base due to the short travel distance. Homes in Fosters range from 1960s brick ranch-styles with fenced-in backyards and one-car garages to contemporary one- and two-story houses with larger lots and two-car garages. Recreational options include Swan Lake Park, a 25-acre green space with baseball diamonds and a playground, and Shed Road Community Playfield, which offers a basketball court, swimming pool, and volleyball court. Northern residents are also close to Cypress Black Bayou, a popular spot for boating. The neighborhood is served by highly rated schools, including W.T. Lewis Elementary, Cope Middle, and Airline High. Local dining options feature Shane’s Seafood & Barbecue and Taquería La Reyna, while shopping needs are met by nearby chain stores and the Pierre Bossier Mall. Barksdale Air Force Base, a significant local employer, is situated to the south, with occasional noise from training exercises affecting nearby residents. The neighborhood has a low crime risk compared to the national average, and most places in and outside of Shreveport are easily accessible by car via I-220 and I-20.
