Ten miles east of Shreveport
Situated about 10 miles east of downtown Shreveport via East Texas Street, Red Chute is a peaceful suburb with a robust inventory of largely contemporary homes. With proximity to urban casinos, community parks and Barksdale Air Force Base, Red Chute has a lot to offer the right homebuyer. “Our school district is one of the best in the state, and they’re outside city limits,” say associate broker with RE/MAX Greg Ryan, who has been selling real estate in the area for 30 years.
Towards dark, you can watch the sunset beyond the Red River and Downtown Shreveport.
Barksdale Air Force Base
With operations that began in 1933, Barksdale Air Force Base is one of a handful of military bases in Louisiana. Located in Bossier City, just minutes from Red Chute, the base hosts the oldest bomb unit in the Air Force and aims to train professional pilots and provide global and flexible combat capability. Barksdale played a critical rule during the Vietnam War as well as the Cold War. "This is the biggest employer in the area," Ryan says. "The whole city runs through there." The base serves a large population of approximately 15,000, made up of over 5,000 active-duty members, 1,300 reservists, 5,500 military family members and 2,500 civilian employees.
Zero dollar down homes
The real estate market in Red Chute is considered somewhat competitive, with well-priced homes selling after 27 days on the market in late 2023, compared to the national average of 38 days. Only a handful of homes were built prior to 1970, which is when construction in the neighborhood first took off. The earlier established streets are lined with modest ramblers common of the era, most with driveways and some with garages. Homebuilding has remained steady in the area, with the median year built around 1991. Contemporary Acadian homes with steepled gables and stone accents are common. The streets are quiet and well-maintained, some with sidewalks and neat-as-a-pin landscaping. Homes range in price from around $160,000 on the low end for a three-bedroom starter home built in 1984 to over $400,000 on the high end for a four-bedroom new construction with about 2,700 square feet. “If you’re looking to purchase a house here, it qualifies for rural development by the federal government,” Ryan says. “You’re talking zero dollars down.”
