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

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.

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.

There are a lit of businesses in this area of Little Rock. There are a Taco Bell, Arby's, Sonic, and a Starbucks within walking distance as well as Layla's Gyros and some mom and pop Hispanic groceries and restaurants. There are a Kroger and Shell Gas station in less than a mile radius. You're not too far from Markham and Chenal shops. About a 5 minute drive. There is a Kroger less than a mile away either direction and a Food Giant about 2 miles away. There is a movie theater and a comedy club just up the street. That makes for a fun weekend. Chili's and Olive Garden are just past the interstate as well. Overall it's a very convenient location. Most of the time I don't have to go far from home.
