Laidback, Southern neighborhood in historic Shreveport

On the outskirts of Shreveport, Louisiana, Jenkins-Pinecroft is a community of subdivisions with laidback Southern charm. “It’s a quiet, residential neighborhood,” says Danny Lowery, a Realtor with Titan Property Network LLC. “But it’s also near shopping and restaurants; anything you need is minutes away on Mansfield Road.” Founded in 1835, Shreveport is the fifth oldest city in Louisiana, and the town’s amenities reflect its storied history: museums, festivals and monuments like the Lead Belly statue downtown. “Shreveport offers big city convenience with a small-town atmosphere.”

Ranch-story homes on large, grass lots

In Jenkins-Pinecroft, towering, tall pine trees dot the freshly mowed lawns of single-story ranch-style homes from the late 20th century; typical features include short driveways, mailboxes and small porches or awnings. Most homes in the area go for between $125,000 and $225,000, but there are exceptions for fixer-uppers or larger houses; a midcentury three-bed, two-bath home goes for about $130,000, and a five-bedroom version with a pool and half-acre lot goes for $270,000. “It’s a desirable area, and houses sell pretty quickly,” says Lowery.
