Welcome to Hillcrest

Hillcrest is on the National Register of Historic Places

Less than 3 miles from downtown, Hillcrest is often called the "Heart of Little Rock" for its central location. The neighborhood was established in the late 19th century as the city's first streetcar suburb, and it's been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1990. Residents relish the storied architecture and appreciate the walkability and quirky community here, often showcasing "Keep Hillcrest Weird" stickers proudly on their cars. "It's one of those neighborhoods where people are always out walking their dogs or pushing their strollers. There are lots of shops and restaurants. It's especially popular with people who are 20 to 50 years old," says Nate Perry, a Real Estate Agent with The Property Group, who grew up in the area. College students and medical professionals are particularly drawn to Hillcrest as the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is in the neighborhood. The University of Arkansas is also within 2 miles.

Hillcrest's Vintage Architecture

Homebuyers seeking an eclectic neighborhood feeling will find it here. Hillcrest’s streets showcase everything from Queen Anne to Colonial Revival to Craftsman and modernist styles. “There are lots and lots of historic homes on the register. The Rockefellers still own a giant home in Hillcrest,” Perry says. “Houses there are all over the place. There are some gracious estates, but a lot of them are small,” Perry says. He adds that most homes here are 100 years old but well maintained, and neighbors protect the mature trees in the neighborhood. Lot sizes are small, and sidewalks guide neighbors on morning and afternoon walks. Prices typically fall between the mid-$100,000s to the $600,000s depending on square footage and the extent of renovations. Properties here are significantly less expensive than in the Heights — an area seeing a wave of new construction. Broker Ray Ellen of Pixel Properties, who's sold homes in Little Rock for 17 years, says it’s likely to stay this way for one key reason. “There are too many dads that own property that their college kids live in until they graduate from UAMS and then sell it to the next dad.” There are some new builds here, but far less than in the Heights, and they are mostly townhouses ranging from the $300,000s to $400,000s. “When a good house comes on the market it sells almost immediately,” Perry says. “A lot of that is due to low inventory,” Perry says.
