East Conway
Neighborhood in Conway, Arkansas
Faulkner County 72032
Convenience is key in East Conway. Not only is the area bisected by Interstate 40, but it’s also dotted with well-known commercial hubs and right outside of the city’s historic core. “There is a ton of activity here. Almost everything you need is within 10 minutes, and some people could even walk to the downtown strip,” says Claire Carter Smithson, executive broker for Homeward Realty.
East Conway is also teeming with quiet, classic subdivisions from various decades. “There’s not one defining house style here,” says Carter Smithson. “It's more of a combination of the city’s different housing booms.” The midcentury communities consist of sprawling ranch styles with low-pitched roofs and half-acre lots. Neighborhoods built in the 1990s and beyond are brick-façade neo-classical dwellings with four-to-five bedrooms and two-car garages. The area’s most eastern region also has a few custom-built estates with wide low-country front porches and Greek Revival-style colonnades. Like most of Conway, a home here typically costs between $150,000 and $400,000.
With numerous thoroughfares surrounding East Conway, residents will never have to go far for dining, shopping and entertainment options. Visit the Conway Towne Center to catch the latest blockbuster at Cinemark or devour Italian fare at Verona. The eatery is revered for its handmade pasta like the tortellini sauteed in garlic and basil and dressed in a sherry wine sauce. Holly’s Country Cookin’ is another local favorite. It serves a small selection of soul food classics every day. For instance, patrons can get succulent boneless ribs, tender roast beef or a hearty helping of chicken lasagna on Monday. The area is also home to the Conway Commons, where you can browse stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods, Target or Old Navy. Whether you prefer to shop at Kroger, Harps, Walmart or a locally-owned Mexican spot, there are also plenty of grocery options in the area.
Children in the Conway Public Schools district follow a unique four-school track. First, students go to Theodore Jones Elementary, which boasts a B-grade from Niche. Once they finish fourth grade, they attend Bob Courtway Middle School for fifth through seventh grade before going to Conway Junior High for eighth grade and freshman year. Lastly, students go to Conway High School. Thanks to its thorough college counseling department, the school has an A-minus grade in college prep from Niche. The school also has 23 Advanced Placement classes and an on-campus career center, offering certifications in several fields, including welding or health science technology.
East Conway is also near the private, liberal arts Hendrix College, where residents can enjoy a 1-mile hike through its Hendrix Creek Preserve. The 18-acre green space features gravel and boardwalk paths alongside the glittering waterway. And the area’s unique outdoor adventure doesn’t end there. The Don Owens Sports Complex and its 125 acres are filled with nine turf baseball diamonds, the Faulkner County Rodeo Arena and the off-leash Conway Dog Park. Residents can also reserve the three basketball courts or the two racquetball courts at the indoor facility.
With all these amenities and the rest of the city within arm’s reach, East Conway provides residents with everything they need and more.
