Center Point blends quiet, open-country living with easy access to the amenities of larger hubs. Set in northern Avoyelles Parish, the community sits along the LA 107 corridor, placing residents within a short drive of job centers, shopping, and healthcare in Alexandria, the historic streets and festivals of Marksville, and the riverfront in Pineville. Outdoor time is built into daily life here: anglers and paddlers head to the backwaters and bayous of the state-managed Spring Bayou Wildlife Management Area, while birders and wildlife photographers find seasonal spectacles at the Lake Ophelia National Wildlife Refuge. Weekend explorers can also roam longleaf pine trails in the nearby Kisatchie National Forest.
Families appreciate a straightforward school experience through the Avoyelles Parish School Board, with neighborhood routes leading to well-regarded campuses such as Lafargue Elementary in Effie and secondary options in Marksville. Daily rhythms are unhurried: farmers’ markets, youth sports, and church suppers anchor the calendar, and properties often come with room for a workshop, garden, or a few hens. The housing mix ranges from classic brick ranches to acreage sites where you can spread out while staying connected to regional employers and hospitals up the road.
