Bossier is notable for a lot of things – Barksdale Air Force Base, the Brookshires Grocery Arena, riverboat gaming – but one of its best-kept secrets is its variety of living spaces.

The parish features residential neighborhoods mixed with entertainment areas such as the East Bank District, a variety of businesses and retail centers. Bossier also offers ample amenity-laden apartments that provide a sense of community for their renters. 

“The apartments in Bossier are set up to use the best assets of the area, from the low cost of living and laid-back atmosphere to the ease of transportation,” said Sarah Mitchell, a resident of Le Rivage in east Bossier City. 

She said she loves living the apartment life in Bossier City because of the value she gets compared to other similar-sized cities.

“I have a friend who lives in a suburb near Washington D.C. and the size of her compartment is significantly smaller for double the rent compared to my apartment,” Sarah noted.

She also noted the quality of life in Bossier makes living in the area attractive for people in her age bracket.

“I’m 26 years old and the quality of life here for people my age is improving with entertainment areas like the East Bank District,” she said. “Plus, Bossier is quiet, and the people are friendly. I think that makes living here easy for anyone.”

Lastly, Sarah pointed out that a benefit of living in Bossier is that transportation is easy, especially since her apartment community is conveniently located close to I-220.

“I can get to work or all the shopping and restaurants in a couple of minutes,” she said. “If you want to go north or south, you can use Benton Road and Airline Drive, and the Arthur Ray Teague Parkway allows me to get to south Bossier and over the river to Shreveport easily.”
