Moving to Shreveport
Shreveport is home to Barksdale Air Force Base, making military history and culture a large part of the city's unique composition. The military base is the largest employer in Shreveport, but many people also move to the area for work in the medical, civil service, education, and automotive industries. Students move to the city as well thanks to
Louisiana State University Shreveport, located south of downtown near the Springlake/University Terrace neighborhood.
Since Shreveport is at the intersection of two major highways, it's a relatively easy drive to the city from elsewhere in Louisiana or from neighboring Texas and Arkansas. It also makes driving to Dallas, Lafayette, and Jackson a breeze — each major city is roughly a three-hour drive from Shreveport. Neighborhoods such as Werner Park, Highland, and Stoner Hill are central to this intersection, making them popular areas for commuters.
From neighborhoods like Cedar Grove and Lynbrook, you can make a short trip south to hike, fish, or camp at locations such as Sabine National Forest and Kisatchie National Forest. Of course, you don't have to leave Shreveport to have a good time. There's plenty to see and do right in the city.
Things to Do and See in Shreveport
Several huge national forests are a short drive from Shreveport, but you can find a lot of stunning natural views without leaving town. The Red River runs through downtown, making that neighborhood a popular spot for several hotels and casinos. The riverfront also has several options if you're interested in learning more about local history. Check out Spring Street Historical Museum if you'd like to learn more about Shreveport's past. Shreveport Water Works Museum is another option that offers a niche look at 19th-century plumbing, and steam equipment and machines.
Shreveport, like many other Pelican State cities, is a fantastic place for anyone who loves culinary diversity. There are plenty of seafood options and choices for authentic Creole and Cajun cuisine. Soul food, Tex-Mex, and French restaurants are also popular in Shreveport.
For a day out in nature head south for some light hiking at the Red River National Wildlife Refuge. This preserve sits next to the Red River and is a fantastic place to go fishing and birding.
Whether you're a professional relocating for a career or a student preparing for an upcoming semester, Shreveport has so much to offer. Plus, moving and storage solutions available locally from PODS can give you the flexibility you need to move to the city and get settled in at your own pace.
