Who We Are
Lake Sherwood Acres is a "well-kept secret" of 312 homes located between S. Sherwood Forest and Coursey Boulevards. There are 81 homes built along the shores of a 40 acre lake, as well as 231 homes that are located off the lake. The neighborhood was developed by Victor Coursey in 1974 when this area was considered far out from down town. Part of the draw for this neighborhood is the 25 meter swimming pool and large clubhouse, as well as the many, well maintained green common areas and private lake.

The Sherwood Lake Association Articles of Incorporation state that the association "is a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Louisiana, for the purpose of, among other things, owning, preserving, maintaining and regulation for the use of its members the lake shown on the official plat of Lake Sherwood Acres Subdivision..."

Suburban oasis

Central location, scenic lake make Lake Sherwood Acres desirable address

When Scott Shean moved to Lake Sherwood Acres in the spring of 1975, his house was the sixth to be built in the neighborhood. Today, 312 houses sit on 313 lots, Shean said.

The subdivision, which sits between South Sherwood Forest and Coursey boulevards, was developed by Victor E. Coursey Jr. in 1974 when the area was considered by many to be far out from downtown. Eighty-one of the homes are built along the shores of a 40-acre lake, which many of the residents use for fishing or enjoying canoes, pedal boats and small party barges.

Neighborhood amenities include a large clubhouse, 25-meter swimming pool and tennis courts. In addition to the homeowner’s association, a separate governing body, the Lake Sherwood Club Association, operates the pool, tennis courts and clubhouse.

“There was just never any reason to move,” said Shean, president of Sherwood Lake Association, the neighborhood homeowner’s association. “It was close to work. A good place for the kids.”

“At the time, it was the nicest subdivision in the city,” Shean added. (Continued here)
