Reservoir, a green suburb
Homebuyers don’t just choose Reservoir for its suburban feel and proximity to Downtown Little Rock. “Homebuyers are drawn to Reservoir’s affordable price range and convenient access to restaurants and thoroughfares,” says Marva Caldwell, an associate real estate broker with Coldwell Banker RPM Group who has sold homes in Little Rock for 26 years. The community is primarily made up of single-family homes and townhouses built between the 1960s and 80s. The area offers an abundance of greenspaces that allow residents to spend time hiking the woods or pursuing athletic interests.
The Reservoir neighborhood includes tightly constructed houses along the hills and trees.
Grassy Flat Creek adds to the natural beauty found in the Reservoir neighborhood.

Single-family homes and townhouses
“Since Reservoir is more in midtown, the prices are better than the West Little Rock area,” Caldwell says. Homebuyers can purchase two-bedroom brick 1970s townhouses for between $180,000 and $290,000. Three-bedroom townhouses sell for between $330,000 and $450,000. Assessors value the area’s 1970s and 80s ranch-style houses for between $190,000 and $320,000. Homebuyers can choose from homes with traditional or Tudor features. Early 2000s Colonial Revival and New Traditional-style houses sell for between $390,000 and $650,000. Many of the neighborhoods have HOAs. Multiple houses were damaged by an EF-3 tornado in the spring of 2023 and have since undergone repairs.

Greenspaces ideal for athletics
Residents once visited the 58-acre Reservoir Park to play disc golf, tennis, basketball and softball. But in the spring of 2023, an EF-3 tornado badly damaged the space, which has been closed ever since. The park, surrounding Jackson Reservoir, had miles of wooded hiking trails, a playground, a pavilion, open fields and restrooms. Access to the reservoir is prohibited. City officials say it will cost at least $1 million to restore the space. The neighborhood of Echo Valley has a private park that includes tennis courts and a swimming pool. The neighborhood of Colony West also has a private park, including a swimming pool and a playground.
The reservoir at the heart of Reservoir serves as a water source for Little Rock.
Private parks include amenities like pools and tennis courts throughout Reservoir.

You have to think about the fact that you are in Tornado Ally here. While they don't always hit right here in the city they hit fairly frequently in the outskirts of Little Rock and throughout the state. I'd definitely recommend having a weather alarm and a "safe place" to go during the spring storm season especially.
