Maumelle, AR: Family-Friendly Living with Natural Beauty

The young city of Maumelle has definitely hit its growth spurt. First developed in the 1970s, Maumelle officially became a city in 1985 and is currently one of the fastest-growing areas in all of Arkansas. “When I moved here nearly 30 years ago, there were only 8,000 people, and now, we’re up to 19,000,” says Donna Ibbotson, a Real Estate Agent with Crye-Leike Real Estate Services who’s been selling homes in the area since 2007. “People want to come here because we have a small-town vibe, but we’re close to a lot of things.” Situated 17 miles from Little Rock along the Arkansas River, residents here relish the wealth of parks, trails and sporting facilities, but above all they value the neighborly atmosphere. “Our parks and recreation department does a lot for the city. They put on events like the Easter egg hunt at Rolling Oaks Soccer Complex,” Ibbotson says. “This community is very family-oriented, which is why most people live here. It’s been a great place to raise my kids and my grandkids. Everybody knows everybody which I guess for some people could be a good thing or a bad thing.”

Go Hiking, Biking or Fishing at Lake Willastein Park

At Lake Willastein Park, which sits in the heart of the city, residents can hike or bike along the paved paths, cast a line at the park’s namesake lake, or watch their kids romp around the playground. History buffs flock here, too, to explore the three World War II bunkers that were once used to store ammunition. Maumelle Community Center, on Edgewood Drive, features an indoor track and basketball courts, as well an outdoor pool. Several leagues are also offered throughout the city, including recreational and competitive soccer at Rolling Oaks Soccer Complex on FairPlay Way and softball and baseball at Maumelle Diamond Center on Country Club Parkway. Just a few miles south of Maumelle lies the longest pedestrian bridge on the continent, the Big Dam Bridge. Open only to foot traffic and cyclers, this 4,200-foot pathway crosses the Arkansas River and connects users to trails throughout the area, as well as major attractions, including the Clinton Presidential Library and Museum on President Clinton Avenue in Little Rock.
