Little Rock Property Market and Real Estate Guide

(Little Rock, Arkansas - AR, USA)

The capital of Arkansas is the pleasant city of Little Rock, found in the heart of the state. Its name aptly derives from a small rocky outcrop located in the city, along the south banks of the pretty Arkansas River. The rock was once a landmark for those using the river.

Property boasting riverside frontage commands a high price, as many choose to live on its banks rather than in the city center. Apartments to rent can be found all over this thriving city, although the purchase of property in Little Rock gives good value for money.


High-end condos and apartments can be found in the historic downtown district and Hillcrest is a particularly popular place to live, with its attractive sidewalks and collection of restaurants. The city is home to many cultural landmarks and attractions, including a wealth of museums, and boasts a lively annual festival calendar that celebrates the city's history and people.

Renting Serviced Apartments

Serviced apartments in Little Rock are good value for money, but the closer to the heart of the city, the higher the prices. Around double the price is demanded for centrally located apartments than for those on the outskirts. Both long and short leases are available, but some facilities and amenities can be a step below those found in ultra-modern cities such as LA or New York.

Many rentals in Little Rock are available in community housing estates rather than apartments, with Lakewood Estate offering high-end rentals and South Oaks providing cheaper options.

Buying Apartments and Houses

Non US-citizen property purchases are popular at present, as the country is considered a good location in which to invest. Paperwork is extensive, as are background checks, and although loans are somewhat harder to get for foreign nationals, the cash purchase of a suitable investment property is fairly simple.

Real Estate Agents

Agents in Little Rock speak English as standard, while many also offer French-speaking staff. Many realtors' offices can be found in the busy downtown districts of the city and company websites are a great way to see the types of properties available before making an appointment with a specific agent.
