The village of Mooringsport-Brian, known as Mooringsport, has a population of approximately 652 people for a quiet and tranquil lifestyle. “People move there because it’s a typical small town with some area on Lake Caddo, and all of the town is close to the lake,” says Realtor David Rollins who has 8 years of experience in the area and works with Century 21 Elite. The area features lakefront homes and parks with water activities. With a rural feel — acres of undeveloped woodlands — the town hosts community events to create a lively atmosphere despite its absence of retail.
