Chenal Valley and other metro residents enjoy the perks of being members at Chenal Country Club, a private, full-service club boasting two golf courses, as well as fine tennis, fitness and swimming facilities.

Located within what’s considered West Little Rock, but with an essence all its own, Chenal Valley begs to be singled out. Its many distinguished qualities lure longtime Little Rock residents and newcomers to reside within its 4,800 scenic acres on which 34 separate neighborhoods have been established. A lot of the acreage has been set aside to create green space, making its neighborhoods even more desirable. Where to Retire magazine recently named Chenal Valley the best master-planned community in Arkansas, and among the top 50 in the United States.

Houses range from $200,000 to $2 million, and stunning lots are available for those wanting to customize their dream residence. The community is considered one of the safest and most family friendly in Little Rock, and that’s not just because many of the neighborhoods are gated — which is a nice perk.

This open-air center is home to a variety of merchants including AppleUrban Outfitters, Belle & Blush, Lululemon, Anthropologie, Sephora, HomeGoods, Q Clothier and Gearhead Outfitters.

The area's only IMAX theater is located at The Promenade too. Beyond The Promenade, there’s more exceptional food at Arthur’s Prime Steakhouse, Mellow Mushroom and Chuy’s.

On the weekends, Chenal's many parks and pools are a big hit with families, and Pinnacle Mountain State Park constantly beckons the entire metro to climb to its peak for an incredible view.
