The Neighborhood

England Oaks is located in the center of Louisiana, surrounded by fantastic destinations filled with the history and culture that our state is known for. Just down the road in Alexandria is the magnificent Kent House Plantation, listed in the National Register of Historic Places and an authentic Creole plantation house built in 1796 prior to the Louisiana Purchase.

For arts lovers, the River Oaks Square Arts Center is a contemporary visual arts and fine crafts center containing more than 30 individual studios, two galleries and a wonderful gift shop. Other interesting destinations around Alexandria include Hodges Gardens, a state-run botanical garden and the Long Leaf Pine Museum. Our retirement community is also just minutes from the entertainment and fine dining of the Alexandria/Pineville area. And the Alexandria Mall is a shopping destination par excellence.

Nearby Oak Wing Golf Club possesses a character all it's own as it blends the natural beauty of Louisiana bayous, lakes and towering tree-lined fairways with the challenge of rolling hills and flowing greens. This is a perfect course for golfers of all levels. And for the more adventurous, the Red River Waterway, features an abundance of outdoor recreational activities, from camping to hiking to boating and fishing.
