Hillcrest

Hillcrest combines historic homes, locally owned restaurants, neighborhood parks, and a walkable lifestyle in one of Little Rock's most recognizable neighborhoods.

Welcome to Hillcrest

Historic Character & Architecture

Hillcrest is one of Little Rock's most established and sought-after historic neighborhoods. Known for its early twentieth-century architecture, walkable streets, locally owned businesses, and strong sense of community, Hillcrest offers a lifestyle that feels distinctly different from newer developments throughout Central Arkansas.

Residents enjoy a mix of Craftsman bungalows, American Foursquares, Tudor-style homes, and thoughtfully updated historic properties. Tree-lined streets, front porches, and mature landscaping contribute to the neighborhood's enduring appeal.

 

Walkability & Local Favorites

Much of daily life in Hillcrest centers around Kavanaugh Boulevard, where residents can walk to restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, parks, and neighborhood events. Popular destinations such as The Pantry, River City Coffee, Ciao Baci, Hill Station, and other locally owned businesses contribute to the neighborhood's highly walkable character.

 

Parks & Outdoor Recreation

Nature's influences are as much a part of Hillcrest as an afternoon stroll down Kavanaugh Boulevard. Families and fitness seekers enjoy Allsopp Park's tennis courts, hiking and biking trails, open green space, and scenic overlooks. Residents enjoy convenient access to Allsopp Park, Knoop Park, Murray Park, and the Arkansas River Trail system. Whether it's hiking, biking, running, walking dogs, or simply enjoying the views, access to green space is part of everyday life for many Hillcrest residents.
