        • 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. This stable population plus below average cost of living, warm 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 the low-hassle traffic you could have as little as a 15 to 20 minute commute to work. When you work in Shreveport-Bossier, you can have a busy professional life and a relaxed quality of life at the same time!
