Welcome to the City of Colleges
Downtown Conway's roundabouts, historic homes and annual events make it a place where even Little Rock locals come to live. Downtown is centrally located to everything the city of Conway is known for and offers proximity to Conway's three major universities, whose culture and growth has earned Conway the moniker the ‘City of Colleges.’ Just 45 miles from Little Rock, Downtown Conway has steadily developed with the city since its founding in 1872. “Conway has grown into a bigger city but still has that small-town feel. We have great hospitals, doctors, shopping—just everything you need," says Evelyn Dean, a Broker with Re/Max Elite who has been selling in the area for 17 years and long-time resident since 1993.
Toad Suck Daze is held in May
Everybody in Conway knows about Toad Suck Daze. "So, every community has their little fairs, and Toad Suck Daze is one of them. It's a pretty big thing here on the first weekend of May. They block off four blocks downtown with rides and food trucks," says Dean. This three-day festival honors local folklore, which tells a tale of sailors traveling along the Arkansas River. Conway centers the arts, with events held at The Lantern Theatre, The Conway Symphony Orchestra, Reynolds Performance Hall and The Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre.
Downtown Conway is a hub for locally owned shops and eateries
Conway Downtown Farmer's Market season begins in April and continues until September. The market is on Saturday mornings, with over 40 vendors selling farm-fresh produce, flowers, and locally sourced, sustainable meats. Conway's Historic Downtown is a trove of locally owned thrift stores, boutiques, coffee shops and theaters. Mike's Place is a favored New Orleans-style haunt named 2021 Best Overall Restaurant in Conway by the Arkansas Times. Conway Commons is a regional shopping hub on Elsinger Boulevard with dozens of big-box stores like Target, PetSmart and The Home Depot.
The splash zone at Laurel Park is a top spot for kids
"We also have plenty of walking trails in town. The city is working on connecting them throughout the area," Dean says. The city has dozens of green spaces, the closest being Laurel Park and Gatling Park. The former spans 26 acres, most popular for its interactive splash zone. The latter offers access to the 6.5-mile Tucker Creek Walking Trail and a BMX pump track. Cocooned by trees, Cadron Settlement Park is tucked along the Arkansas River and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The private Conway Country Club is 90 acres of rolling greens that has drawn members since 1926. Just 10 miles south, Lake Conway is a go-to spot for bass, catfish and crappie fishing.
Midtown Conway has historic charm
Downtown Conway has pockets of neighborhoods around retail, recreation and schools. Built throughout the 20th century—Craftsman, Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival homes populate the city's Historic District found along Cross, Prince, Faulkner and Watkins streets. Windcrest, Rosewood Terrace, Jefferson Place and Sherman Oaks are subdivisions with ranch styles, minimal traditionals, bungalows and new construction. Loblolly pine trees tower over most homes, abundant with shrubbery, spacious backyards, driveways and garages. Prices vary, from $230,000 for a three-bedroom at 1,700 square feet built in the 1980s to upwards of $695,000 for a 3,000 square foot five-bedroom built in the 1920s. "It's a lot cheaper to live here. We have city-owned utilities, so everything is included in one bill," Dean says.
Conway High School offers college prep programs
Downtown has four schools run by the Conway Public School District, including Julia Lee Moore Elementary, which earns an A-minus grade on Niche. Ray Phyllis Simon Middle School and Conway Junior High School earn an A-minus, and Conway High School receives an A. Conway High is one of the state's largest high schools and has a Career Center that offers 13 different programs – from construction technology to the culinary arts. The city is best known for being the site of three higher education institutions – the University of Central Arkansas, Hendrix College and Central Baptist College.
Little Rock is a quick drive onInterstate 40
Downtown Conway is home to U.S. Route 65, U.S. Route 64 and Interstate 40, which connects to Little Rock in 34 miles. The drive to the city is about 30 to 40 minutes, and locals are lucky as traffic in Conway is decent. Despite being a big city, Conway needs more public transportation, but in 2022, it implemented its Rock Region Metro dial-a-ride transit services to get around town. Many locals stay in town for work, as the three universities, the healthcare system and The Meadows Office & Technology Park are major employers. Conway Regional Medical Center is on College Avenue, providing 24/7 emergency care, and Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport is 40 miles south
