St. Andrews Links Estates is a "welcoming neighborhood"

St. Andrews Links Estates is a master-planned community in Alexandria, Louisiana, marked by upscale Acadian-style homes situated around the public Links on the Bayou golf course. Residents here are a short golf cart ride away from the course, less than 5 miles from shopping and dining on Versailles Boulevard and students are slated to attend top-ranked Alexandria Senior High School. “The big draw is that it’s a very nice, welcoming neighborhood. The people who live there are always waving to each other. They’re always friendly when I’m up there showing homes,” says Mary Bostelman, a Realtor with ERA Sarver Real Estate, who’s been selling homes in the area for five years. “The golf course is right there and there’s an HOA, so the homes and the properties are really well-maintained.”

Alexandria Mall is a major retail destination located just a short drive from the neighborhood.
