East of Louisiana’s Red River, in central Bossier Parish, the Dukedale-Vanceville area offers proximity to waterways and green spaces, two main north-south corridors to major interstates, and a quiet, suburban lifestyle. Sherry Stapf-Tolisano, Broker-Owner of Spartan Realty, says, “Home variety across this area is similar to what you’d find to the south in Brownlee Estates or Greenacres Place, plus some much newer builds. As you go further north into Benton, you see mostly new construction. It’s a desirable location because you have good schools and easy access to the Willis-Knighton Medical Center near Interstate 220.” Willow Chute waterway winds through the landscape, within backyard forest buffers that edge along curvy residential streets. A large portion of the terrain is either undeveloped woodland or farmland dotted with tractors. Yet within just a few miles, traveling I-220 or I-20 at night, the downtown Shreveport skyline sparkles into view.
Range of sizes, new Duckwater Landing
The area contains multiple gated communities, from active adult to master-planned single-family. Subdivisions include the brand-new Duckwater Landing, featuring farmhouse styles and contemporary painted brick beauties for around $400,000. Stapf-Tolisano adds, “The Legacy master-planned development has soccer fields, baseball diamonds, pools and an HOA that keeps the neighborhood beautifully maintained. Homes can range in size from 1,100 to 3,500 square feet, depending on which of the three Legacy communities you choose. And Willow Lake is a great choice if you’re seeking a 55-and-over neighborhood where you can slow down your pace.” You can also find brick homes built in 2003 for $255,000 or 1980s ranch styles for under $200,000. Residents often stroll pathways through neighborhoods, bike to shopping centers, or trade books at the Little Free Library.
There are stunning new builds in Bossier Parish at affordable prices.

Brownlee Park, Cypress Reservoir and Zoo
North Bossier Park spans more than 53 acres of walkable green space. Stapf-Tolisano says, “Locals call it Brownlee Park, and it’s popular with all surrounding communities because it has soccer fields, tennis courts and a playground area. You’ll always see families having birthday parties at the pavilion.” Residents can also head northeast to boat or fish on Cypress Black Bayou Reservoir or visit many native animal species at the Cypress Zoo, on a 7-acre parkland brimming with pine, oak and sweet gum trees. For some nautical fun, the Shreveport Aquarium is about 7 miles away, and from the Duckwater Landing subdivision, it’s only an 8-mile drive to the Louisiana Downs race track and casino.
Cypress Black Bayou Park is a great place to go fishing.
Bring the kids to the zoo and camp not too far away at Cypress B lack Bayou Park.
The water looks fantastic but more alligators live in Louisiana than any other place in America.

A-grade schools, updated Benton High
Public schools are within the Bossier Parish Public Schools District, which Niche gives an A-minus grade. Kids may start at Legacy Elementary, which earns a Niche A grade, and move on to Benton Middle and Benton High, which both earn a Niche A-minus. Benton High School recently enjoyed a major renovation that added 70 classrooms, two gymnasiums and two chemistry labs.
Benton Middle School is the Home of the Tigers.
Benton High School prides itself with providing a safe and positive learning environment.

SporTran stops nearby
Most residents drive to work; however, SporTran bus stops along Airline Drive offer transit to downtown Shreveport.
Johnny's, Brookshire's, Boardwalk Outlets
Within the neighborhood, homes are close to a shopping plaza or two. Residents dine on pizza and pasta at Johnny’s, or dig into burgers, po-boys and oysters at Papa and Company. There’s also a new Brookshire’s grocery store nestled in a shopping plaza next to a CVS. In the adjacent community, Stirling Bossier Shopping Center includes famous chain eateries such as Another Broken Egg Café and Chicken Salad Chick, serving up fresh sandwiches and salads either indoors or outdoors under bright green umbrellas. “For date nights or outings with friends,” adds Stapf-Tolisano, “you’ll probably head into historic East Bank district in Bossier City. There’s a movie theater there, several craft breweries, and boutique shops.” More than 25 stores and 15 eateries fill the riverside Lousiana Boardwalk Outlets downtown, about 7 miles from home, where evening strolls along the boardwalk offer lovely views.

Alligators common to Lousiana
While waterways are accessible here for fishing or boating, residents should take caution to avoid alligators.
