Welcome to Metro Little Rock: North Little Rock
The Old Mill
Located just across the Arkansas River, North Little Rock has a lot in common with the capital city. Both have major health care facilities, a variety of restaurants, retailers and significant business operations. And just north of Little Rock lies the Argenta Historic District, composed of cute shops and restaurants that make up North Little Rock’s downtown area.
Two major attractions for the city are Simmons Bank Arena, which holds 18,000 people and has hosted star-studded acts like Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, Jimmy Buffett, Reba, Elton John and more. Dickey-Stephens Park is home to the Arkansas Travelers, a minor league baseball team, and boasts striking views of the skyline and river from the stands. It also hosts unique family nights offering great fun for children and a fireworks show after every home game.
Great locally-owned shops, restaurants and bars are also plentiful. McCain Boulevard, a main thoroughfare in North Little Rock, is the city’s largest shopping hub. From Argenta to the northern edge of the city, locals have plenty of good eats.
As far as real estate is concerned, the area features everything from Park Hill’s craftsman-style bungalows and Lakewood’s sprawling mid-century homes to the eco-friendly condos and townhomes of The Enclave and City Grove. The city’s convenient location within the metro and easy access to downtown Little Rock have meant sound real estate investments for home buyers.
Can’t get enough of the water? North Little Rock has a submarine attraction, a popular RV park and The Rockwater Marina offers stunning views of downtown Little Rock from its docks.
