North Little Rock’s historic downtown, known as Argenta, is located just across the bridge from Little Rock’s River Market district. First platted in 1866, Argenta is now a vibrant, walkable, mixed-use community. Residents enjoy having shops, workplaces, schools, grocery stores (and a farmers market) all within walking distance of their homes.

Like Little Rock, downtown condos and townhomes have been on the rise. The Enclave gives renters a nicer riverside option, while those looking to buy have options like City Grove townhomes, an eco-friendly development close to all the action.

Banking and financial services are prevalent in the area, as are law firms and nonprofit organizations. Argenta also offers quick and easy access to both downtown Little Rock and North Little Rock’s economic opportunities.

The past decade marked the neighborhood’s emergence as a premier entertainment venue, anchored by the 370,000-square-foot Verizon Arena which frequently hosts star-studded acts. Minor league baseball’s Arkansas Travelers play at nearby Dickey-Stephens Park. Great art galleries, restaurants and bars are also plentiful.
