Sunset Acre/Garden Valley/Morningside
Suburban Neighborhood in Shreveport, Louisiana
Caddo Parish 71108, 71109
Homebuyers bring renovation dreams to small cottages
Homes in the area were built in the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s, and today, they are primarily investment properties or small starter houses just waiting for some TLC. Prices range from $15,000 for a two-bedroom cottage needing renovations to $140,000 for a ranch-style home with four bedrooms. Many of the residences feature ranch styles, but there are also bungalows and cottages, along with the odd cabin or two. Some homes are built on slabs while others rest on raised foundations. The area has many mature trees and is quite affordable when compared to other parts of the city.

Catch a game or concert at Independence Stadium
One popular Shreveport destination is Independence Stadium. Opened in 1976, the stadium took its name from the collegiate bowl game, the Independence Bowl. Seating more than 50,000 people, the stadium features a press box, club area, and private suites as well as a Diamond Vision screen. Once called the State Fair Stadium, it’s located in the Fairgrounds and is just off Interstate 20. So, the next time you’re in the mood for a game, simply follow the giant flashing marquee straight to the field.
Airplanes fly overhead from Shreveport Regional Airport
Near the neighborhood lies the Shreveport Regional Airport. Only five minutes from the downtown business district, the airport wasn’t always located where it is now. In fact, the original airfield here was right in the middle of downtown from 1931 to 1952. After World War II, air travel was in high demand. The downtown airport needed to be expanded, but land limitations forced a move to a larger plot where longer runways could be built. The new terminal opened in 1952 with airline ticket counters, offices, a restaurant, and viewing decks. The commercial airfield expanded for the first time in 1971 with a new terminal, administrative building, and connector bridges. Today, the airport is served by four major airlines which fly to seven major hub cities.Limited but popular dining options
The neighborhood might not have many dining options, but what's here is quite diverse. Quick-service restaurants like McDonalds and Subway mix in with locally owned spots like BJ's BBQ On Wheels and Southern Classic Chicken. Sunset Acres is also home to Anthony's Steak and Seafood. A local favorite since 1992, the traditional steakhouse serves everything from petite sirloins to massive tomahawks in a relaxing environment.
