SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — Unwilling, unable or unready to buy, renters remain a significant portion of the Shreveport-Bossier housing market. And their options are growing.

The supply of rental properties in Shreveport-Bossier City has seen a slight uptick while demand has remained mostly flat, providing more choices for area renters at lower costs.

Residents found new rental options last year with the opening of Ogilvie Hardware Lofts in downtown Shreveport and an expansion of Jamestown Place in south Bossier City.

Developers tell The Times (http://bit.ly/Y6ZZ8J ) more rental construction is ahead.
