The Highland neighborhood is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Shreveport, but as Highland residents can attest to, it’s also one of the most vibrant and active neighborhoods in town. Anyone who has begged for beads at our Mardi Gras parade, boogied down at our jazz festival, or stuffed themselves silly at our Greek festival knows that Highland is a happening place. And it is because of this joie de vivre that Highland has continued to thrive despite the gloomy economic climate that plagues much of the nation. If you haven’t done so in a while, take a drive through the neighborhood and admire all of the work that is being done to keep Highland beautiful. For those who are thinking of investing in Highland, now is an excellent time to buy a home. The prices remain affordable and the houses continue to offer all the charm and beauty you have come to expect from Highland.
