I haven't posted much about Ellerbe Road Estates in southeast Shreveport.  Perhaps that's because it's not gated, it's not new, and it's not high end.  But it's a great neighborhood.  In fact, we like it so much, we've lived here for 16 years now.

Ellerbe Road Estates was one of the first neighborhoods developed along Ellerbe Road.  It's just south of the intersection with Flournoy Lucas Road.  Because it's an older neighborhood and prices have come down a bit, we are seeing an influx of young families.  I love seeing the little neighborhood boys gathering for a game of front yard football or catch.  And moms out pusing a stroller or pulling a wagon with a smiling toddler.  It's that kind of neighborhood.

Of course, people come and go, but several of our neighbors who were here when we moved in are still here.  It's that kind of a place.  People here would rather stay put and improve than go somewhere else.  It's a peaceful neighborhood where people aren't in your business, but they are there to lend a hand if you need it.  We watch out for each other.

And now I'm proud to announce that the Ellerbe Road Estates Neighborhood Association has its own website.  That's always helpful to people considering buying here.

Here is a listing that is a good example of what homes are like in the older part of the neighborhood.  I'll post more pictures of the neighborhood in a week or so when all the spring blooming trees are fully budded out.
