Freestate-North Highlands blends established homes, tree-shaded streets, and everyday convenience on the north side of Shreveport. Quick access to I-220 and North Market Street makes downtown commutes simple, while the Red River and Cross Lake are close enough for spontaneous sunset drives and weekend fishing.
Outdoor time is easy to find at North Highlands Park and its community center, programmed by Shreveport Public Assembly & Recreation. Families appreciate ball fields, a playground, and seasonal activities, and larger adventures are minutes away at Sci-Port Discovery Center, where hands-on science keeps kids engaged year-round. For a dose of waterfront relaxation, locals head to Cross Lake, a city-run reservoir popular for boating, birding, and shaded picnic spots.
Schools fall under Caddo Parish Public Schools, known for magnet and career-tech options that draw students from across Caddo Parish. The neighborhood’s central-north location also places major employers, medical facilities, and the retail districts across the river in Bossier City within an easy drive, making daily routines efficient. Housing here tends to include classic brick ranches and cottages, with deep lots and plenty of room for gardens, workshops, or play sets—appealing to first-time buyers and long-time residents alike.
