A family environment spaced around the University of Central Arkansas
With the University of Central Arkansas in the middle of the community, and two other colleges close by, it is easy to think of the Southwest Conway neighborhood as a typical college town. That isn’t the case, according to Claire Carter Smithson, an executive broke with Homeward Realty. “There are some apartments in the area where students live, but non-students and families mainly occupy the houses,” Carter Smithson says. The families tend to take advantage of the neighborhood’s perks, including several original restaurants and a convenient drive into North Little Rock.
