Westwood balances everyday convenience with a relaxed, residential feel on the west side of Shreveport. Tree-shaded streets and roomy yards set the tone, while quick access to I-20 and LA 3132 keeps commutes simple—whether you’re headed downtown, across the river to Bossier City, or west toward Greenwood.
Families appreciate the area’s connection to Caddo Parish Public Schools, with neighborhood staples like Western Hills Elementary and Southwood High (attendance zones vary; always verify). Parishwide magnet options add even more choice, making it easy to match programs with students’ interests and goals.
Weekends are easy to fill close to home. Southern Hills Park and Community Center’s ballfields, playgrounds, and fitness options are managed by Shreveport Parks and Recreation, while nearby Cross Lake invites boating, fishing, and sunset picnics. Travel is straightforward thanks to Shreveport Regional Airport, just a short drive away. For continuing education, community lectures, and cultural events, LSU Shreveport offers a steady calendar that residents tap into year-round.
Housing in Westwood spans classic ranch homes and updated properties at approachable price points, and the neighborhood’s calm pace pairs well with its practical location. If you’re weighing a move, or ready to sell and want to capture Westwood’s appeal for today’s buyers, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a local real estate professional who knows the neighborhood and can guide you from first steps to closing.
