Hillsborough is a convenient, established neighborhood

A home in Hillsborough doesn’t just come with a sought-after West Little Rock residency; it also includes a close-knit community. “The neighborhood is very well-established with both longtime residents and newer families,” says Debbie Teague, a sales associate with The Janet Jones Company. “You see lots of people out on their driveways or porches visiting with other neighbors.” This friendly atmosphere can also be accredited to its numerous resident-only amenities and the highly rated schools within walking distance.

The River Trail is a great place for Hillsborough residents to run, walk, and cycle.

Stylish homes with large lots don't stay on the market for long

There are a variety of stunning 1960s estates with four to five bedrooms and half-acre lots at the heart of Hillsborough. Find sprawling Cape Cods with wide front porches, side-gabled Georgian Revivals and a few contemporary dwellings with massive picture windows. French-inspired New Traditional homes built throughout the 1990s are also common. To live in Hillsborough, expect to pay anywhere between $400,000 and $700,000, a range higher than a Little Rock home’s average $150,000 selling price. You’ll also have to act fast to buy here. “Homes sell in a matter of a few days. People who want to move here have to be diligent when it comes to seeing what’s on the market,” says Teague.
