Bawcomville, LA

Bawcomville is a quiet, close-knit community tucked just south of West Monroe in Ouachita Parish. As an unincorporated neighborhood, it offers a laid-back, rural-suburban feel while keeping residents only minutes away from the shopping, dining, and job centers of the Monroe metro area. Everyday convenience is a big draw here, with easy connections along Highway 34 making daily commutes across the river quick and simple.

Families are part of the Ouachita Parish School System, with neighborhood children typically attending schools like Lenwil or Riser Elementary. While daily routines are relaxed, the area gains regional attention every December with the annual Bawcomville Redneck Christmas Parade. Organized by Mann Family Charities on the first Saturday of the month, the lively and quirky celebration brings crowds together from all over the parish, giving the community a proud, down-to-earth tradition to look forward to every year.
