Allendale-Lakeside
Suburban Neighborhood in Shreveport, Louisiana
Caddo Parish 71101, 71103, 71107
Established shotgun homes and bungalows
The streets of Allendale-Lakeside showcase the area’s history, with shotgun houses and bungalows built as far back as the 1920s all the way through the ‘80s. These homes tend to sit right on the street, with limited lawn space or elbow room between neighbors, though mature trees burst with greenery from the backyard. Not all houses have driveways; some only have a narrow staircase from the sidewalk leading straight to a modest front porch. “There isn’t much new housing because it’s such a historic area,” Norman says. “There are some rental properties, but a lot of them are established homes that have been passed down. I see families walking around all the time.” The median price for a single-family home is around $39,000, though a two-bedroom cottage can sell for as low as $15,000. A handful of larger ranch-style and split-level homes closer to Cross Lake list for up to $220,000 for three bedrooms.

Lakeside Park has playgrounds and after-school care
There are a handful of parks in the Allendale-Lakeside area, the most robust of which is Lakeside Park. The park has both indoor and outdoor amenities, with a playground to keep little ones entertained and a 9-hole public golf course where folks can work on their swing. Inside the community center, residents can stay active even on rainy days in the gymnasium and fitness center. It also hosts after-school programs and other occasional camps, like the basketball clinic held by the Shreveport Mavericks for local kids in May 2023. Community gatherings are also held at SWEPCO Park, named for the nearby Southwestern Electric Power Co. power plant. The park has spacious grassy areas shaded by trees and a large pavilion for picnics and cookouts, with an improvement project spearheaded by local nonprofit Allendale Strong aiming to bring more amenities in the future. Access to Cross Lake is further away at Ford Park, a popular city park across from a boat launch.
