Twelve Oaks
Begun in 2005, this unique community in Shreveport, Louisiana is situated on 400 acres not far from the bustling shopping mecca along Youree Drive. Access to the rest of the city is easy via the Terry Bradshaw Passway.
Twelve Oaks is comprised of four distinct "neighborhoods", each with a feel of its own. Middleton Place is the first section you get to after you pass through the gate. There are five streets with small to mid-size garden homes.
When you enter Charleston Place to the left, you feel as though you are in an entirely different development. As you might guess, the homes' architectural styles are reminiscent of old Charleston. Wispy trees and lush landscaping along with fenced front yards add to the impression of southern charm.
The main part of the development, appropriately called Twelve Oaks, consists of larger homes with straight streets and a "subdivision" type feeling. The children's playground is located at the southwest side of this area of the neighborhood, and the pool and clubhouse are at the northeast end.
The last part of this gated community is called Bienville Path and is currently under development. With it's winding streets and cul de sacs surrounded by woodsy fields, it is sure to please those who like to take meandering walks and wave hello to their neighbors as they go by.
An active Homeowners Association plans community events such as 4th of July celebrations and Christmas wreath decorating contests. They also have a newsletter to keep everyone informed of upcoming events.
Prices range from $230,000 to $375,000. Lots are available in the Charleston Place, Twelve Oaks, and Bienville Path areas of the neighborhood.
