Area Highlights:
- Shreveport and Bossier City are located on the Red River of the
South in northwest Louisiana. With quick proximity to east Texas
and southwestern Arkansas, the area is called the Ark-La-Tex.
Shreveport-Bossier offers many of the big-city amenities but
retains the comfortable feel of small town America. People are
friendly. They want to get to know you. It's not a place for those
who wish to remain anonymous!
- Census projections for 2010 place the combined population of
the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area at just over 409,000.

sunbelt climate and excellent cultural, educational and
recreational opportunities make this an excellent location for your
career and lifestyle.
- Housing is not a problem. House, condo or apartment? You
choose. Many apartment complexes offer you view of the river, a
lake or a park. Homes are available in every size and range. Live
in a stately historic area or choose a suburban planned community.
If you like, you can opt for a farm or ranch rural lifestyle. With
