Swartz blends a quiet, country feel with easy access to city conveniences, set just east of Monroe and a short drive from West Monroe. Spacious yards, two-lane roads, and big skies define daily life, while quick connections along major corridors make errands, dining, and entertainment simple. Nature lovers appreciate weekend escapes to Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge for boardwalks, paddling, and birding, or to the nearby Russell Sage Wildlife Management Area for miles of wetlands and bottomland hardwoods.
Families value the strong public school options within Ouachita Parish. The area is served by Ouachita Parish Schools, including Swartz Lower and Upper Elementary and East Ouachita Middle, with many students continuing to Ouachita Parish High School. When it’s time for a day out, residents head to the Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo or the aviation history on display at the Chennault Aviation & Military Museum. Travel is straightforward with flights from Monroe Regional Airport.
