Lake Caddo living

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.

Affordable inland and expensive lakefront homes

Most of the homes come with driveways and carports to protect vehicles from the weather.

Sales prices range from $136,000 for a ranch-style house to $745,000 for a custom-built lakefront home with a wraparound porch and a boat slip. “It's mostly affordable unless it's a nice lakefront property,” Rollins says.
