Another quiet town with Southern charm minutes from Shreveport

Rural Quiet Community Affordable Commuter

Blanchard is a quiet suburb of Shreveport. Although Blanchard is categorized as a suburb, it feels more like a rural escape. This small town resembles many Southern communities: tree-lined roads, open pastures, and homes with massive lawns and backyards. Great for renters of all ages, Blanchard has houses and apartments available for all budgets and tastes. The town is quiet and calm for the majority of the year, except for community celebrations like the annual Poke Salad Festival, which features carnival rides, a parade, funnel cakes, and more. Since Blanchard is so laid-back and secluded, most people travel to other towns for work, shopping, dining, and entertainment. Conveniently, Shreveport is less than 20 minutes away, so residents can enjoy major attractions and a large variety of amenities within minutes.
