To view the Covenants of our neighborhood, please view our Declaration of Charter.
Provenance is a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND).
Think of it as a special place like no other in Shreveport, Louisiana – a great neighborhood that takes the best planning from traditional communities and combines it with today’s conveniences and ecological principles. In a TND, the following are located within a 3 to 5 minute walk: parks, lakes, recreational areas, shops, restaurants, offices, civic buildings, and more. You can play, work, shop, exercise, dine, run errands or just relax — all within your own village.
Preserved
Provenance is not one of those “overdeveloped” neighborhoods. We have preserved the natural beauty surrounding the community to provide a real sanctuary for our residents and enhance their quality of life.
Balanced
Public and private spaces have equal importance in TND’s, creating a balanced community that serves the needs of a wide range of home and business owners and promotes relationship building among residents.
Sense of Community
Take part in a variety of community activities for families and single residents where you can get to know your neighbors. At Provenance, you can live in more than just a great home – you can live in a great neighborhood.

Our Vision
At Provenance, we are providing a superior product in a sustainable development planned and designed like the neighborhoods that have survived and prospered over the centuries. We are bringing the concept of the Traditional Neighborhood Development to Shreveport, incorporating attractive streets and public places, protected natural areas, and a variety of housing types.
What’s in a name?
A name can say a lot about who we are and what we want to become. A literal translation of Provenance is “a preserved grove of trees.” Provenance – a Traditional Neighborhood Development we’d like for you to call “home”- is certainly that…and so much more.
Our vision is about creating the place where you can escape to experience a new way of living. Amid its natural beauty, you’ll find Provenance embodies a nostalgic quality that harkens back to a simpler time in America while offering all of the benefits of modern living. Provenance is the first neighborhood in Shreveport where a peaceful, park-like atmosphere blends harmoniously with conveniences like shops, restaurants, and professional offices with a variety of housing options. For most residents of Provenance, the town center is just a brief walk away from home.
Provenance is a new, pedestrian-friendly way of life – a sanctuary from everyday stresses. To us, that’s what the place you call “home” is all about.
