Renters will find appealing options throughout Bossier City's 44 square miles. The northern part of the city features more elevated terrain with small, boutique apartment communities and townhomes, while areas near the Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets in downtown provide modern rental homes with river views. Many rental properties offer convenient access to the city's parks and walking trails along the Red River, with the Arthur Ray Teague Parkway providing scenic routes for commuters and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Located just across the river from Shreveport, Bossier City offers excellent transportation access via Interstates 20 and 220.
