Planned suburbs and privacy in Fosters
About three miles east of Bossier City via Route 79, this area offers large lots and country-club living near the city’s commercial district. Gated communities like Stonebridge and Provident Oaks in northern Fosters, have homeowners associations and manicured lawns with a few trees. Adults can tee up at the local course, and secluded cul-de-sacs ensure a safe environment for kids to play. These planned suburbs fade away in the upper reaches of the neighborhood in favor of estates with open pastures and ponds. To the south, residents living toward I-20 and I-220 will find postwar homes and quick access to shopping malls, local restaurants and city parks. Those traveling to Barksdale Air Force Base often live in this area, where their commute is shortest.
Midcentury and contemporary ranch-styles
Nearer to Bossier City and Route 79, 1960s brick ranch-styles usually have fenced-in backyards and one-car garages. These properties don’t go on the market often but hover around the $100,000 mark. Manufactured and mobile homes are also available for around $60,000. “They’re all nice homes, just in an older area,” says Realtor Tammy Szekacs, who’s been selling in Bossier City for five years. “As you get farther north, there are larger lots, bigger square footage and full, three-bedroom two-baths or more.” These one- and two-story contemporaries are set back on sizeable yards with generous driveways and two-car garages. Homes in Stonebridge sometimes have fairway-facing lots, and residents can watch golfers tee off on the community’s private golf course. While they were primarily built in the last 20 years, different stylings of stone facades and low-pitched roofs ensure each house is unique. Three bedrooms run anywhere from $285,000 to $375,000, and four bedrooms top out at $550,000. For five-bed estates, prices start at $640,000 and move towards the $775,000 mark.

Kid-friendly fun in Swan Lake Park, Shed Road Playfield
Those living closer to the interstate can experience Swan Lake Park, a 25-acre green space with baseball diamonds and a giant playground called “The Field of Dreams.” A mile west, Shed Road Community Playfield has a basketball court, swimming pool, paved track and volleyball court. Though northern areas of the neighborhood are three or four miles from access, Realtor Tammy Szekacs has confidence in the alternatives. “These areas have sidewalks, lights and green spaces,” she says. “There’s plenty of families there, and if they wanted to get in some time outside, it’s a great area for that.” In particular, the Stonebridge neighborhood’s golf course is available to members and paying visitors. Northern residents are also 10 miles from the Cypress Black Bayou, where locals can take boats out for a day on the swamp.

Chain restaurants and shops are within four miles from anywhere in the neighborhood, with the occasional local spot mixed in.

Barksdale Air Force Base
Barksdale Air Force Base, founded in 1933, anchors the neighborhood to the south and is home to the 2nd Bomb Wing, the largest bomb unit in the Air Force. The base is one of the biggest employers in Bossier City, serving 5,000 active-duty personnel, 2,500 civilians and 5,500 military family members. Though not heard in most of the neighborhood, residents nearer to base should be aware of occasional noise from training exercises.
Route 79, Interstates 20 and 220
While the farther reaches of the neighborhood may take longer, residents have roughly a seven-mile commute into midtown via Route 79. Most places in and outside of Shreveport are easy to access by car, as the I-220 and I-20 loop runs straight through Fosters.
