re: Gentrified NOLA neighborhood close to FQ or Upper Middle Class Shreveport neighborhood

I mean, you're closer to Holly grove than the FQ.
Just be prepared for your car to get broken into a few times and possibly stolen at some point.
And I don't say that as some perpetual Nola hater like many on this board. Lived there plenty long enough.

I would not want to live that close to the FQ honestly like blocks away. The noise, traffic, and riff raff there can be a lot nowadays. Just close enough.
NOLA has been crime infested for decades now. I know what to expect

lol no one feels more threatened or talks about Shreveport more than south Louisiana people who have never been there.

I hear you, I lived in the Quarter for 3 years.
But you might as well live in Metairie if that's the case. Can get to the Quarter basically just as fast and don't have to deal with the Nola riff raff.

Then pretty much everything in Orleans is close to the Quarter. Hollygrove neighborhood (which is near the parish line) is less than 5 miles from Quarter.

The East New Orleans area is about 10 miles away. Anything beyond 5 miles I don't consider close

Over 500k to live in the hood. Classic

There’s not really a gentrified neighborhood in New Orleans. You’ll get a few houses that have been built or redone on a block, but there’s a good chance one of your neighbors is selling coke. That’s kind of best case scenario.

I’ve lived south of New Orleans but it was pre-Katrina and still a relatively safe and attractive place to live near and visit often, it not that anymore and I don’t go there anymore.
We never planned to move back to Shreveport but due to job transfer we are there and after deciding to not build in Bossier City our realtor recommended a house in the subdivision that includes the house you showed, we were reluctant because of the dangerous reputation that the hoods have created but we have been pleasantly surprised, especially with the neighborhood itself.
Unfortunately most Louisiana cities that are governed like Shreveport and New Orleans have developed crime problems and lost their attraction for new citizens, the area in Southeast Shreveport that includes Brunswick Place, Azalea Gardens and westward back towards Sothern Trace and Provenance are the only places in Shreveport I would consider living.
Otherwise, look at north Bossier, Benton, communities along Airline Drive and Benton Rd and eastward towards Stonebridge and Provident Oaks. Be diligent about checking flood zone maps on any homes in Bossier City or Southeast Shreveport.

I think NO will be able to survive it’s current Mayor.
There is still a lot of economic power left in the City.
I am not sure Shreveport will survive the neglect of its current Mayor while he permits a Dem City Council and Fiddy Cent to remake the City as they see fit.

Sorry, but we need to defer to the New Orleans definition of close and that’s across town

The area in Bossier on Swan Lake Rd north of I-220 is really growing. Bossier is getting Live! Entertainment district soon along with the Chasing Aces golf complex. East Bank in Bossier is a nice place to grab a bite and hear live music. Benton and Haughton are both growing towns where you can have the small town rural feel while being close to everything. And let's not forget about 50 Cent trying to gentrify downtown Shreveport. Best of all, that teeth-jarring ride down I-20 is getting replaced.
Three-fourths of Shreveport has become ghetto in the last 30 years due to loss of manufacturing, introduction of riverboat gambling, and hurricane refugees from down south. S. Shreveport and east of the river are decent places to live, as good as anywhere else in Louisiana.

New Orleans has way more to offer in terms of things to do compared to Shreveport. That’s undisputed. The problem is that both cities have a significant hood culture that dominates every street corner.
Unless NOLA has a huge gentrification wave that spreads out into the hoods and pushes the hood trash further outwards from the city, nothing will change. The murder rate has gotten so bad that even affluent white liberals from the Northeast and West coast don’t want to move there

I don’t know why people downvoted you because what you said is 100% true. New Orleans is 60% black. That statistic tells you everything you need to know.
Only part I’d disagree with is that instead of coke it’s probably fentanyl, heroin, or crack. Most of the hoodrats in NOLA can’t afford high-quality cocaine
