Riverdale

A day here might include a round of golf, a bike ride down the Arkansas River Trail or a stroll over the Big Dam Bridge. The Big Dam Bridge is the country’s longest pedestrian bridge, and unlike others, it is not a retired bridge; it was built just for pedestrians!

The Arkansas River Trail is never shy of people, pets, strollers and bikes. The trail overall is an 88-mile loop, but the smaller loop that starts at the Clinton Presidential Bridge is 16 miles. It provides a river breeze to keep you cool in the summertime and killer views including Rebsamen Golf Course (Little Rock’s largest public golf course) and Murray Park (which contains soccer fields, archery targets, sand volleyball courts, a boat dock, dog park and pavilions).

Riverdale residents are entirely spoiled when it comes to great dining. Here, you can lose yourself in heavenly pork at the Memphis-in-May World Barbecue Champs, Whole Hog Café. Sister restaurants Loca Luna and Red Door feature eclectic menus for any palate. The Fold draws people from across the metro for a taste of its tacos, while The Town Pump, a hidden gem dive bar, is a can't-miss experience.

Luxury apartments, townhouses, condos and single-family homes of all price ranges — many with incredible views of the Arkansas River — give residents plenty to choose from. Want to drive your boat right to your doorstep? You can do that in Canal Pointe.

Anchored in the heart of Riverdale is the Home and Design District of Little Rock. The revered institutions of design such as Jonathan Parkey of J Parkey, Kevin Walsh with Bear Hill, Garry Mertins at Mertins Dyke, Chris Olsen at Botanica, Cynthia East Fabrics and Urban Pad churn out some of the most extraordinary work imaginable. Located within this district, the Capital Sotheby’s International Realty office welcomes guests with coffee, bubbly water or other bubbles and invites everyone to experience their space as they are making their decision to sell their distinctive property or search for their dream home.
