Mayflower is a rural city with easy access to Little Rock, Conway
Mayflower is a small central Arkansas city of about 2,400 conveniently located along the Interstate 40 corridor between Conway and Little Rock. Before the interstate connected the community to the region’s two largest cities, there was Lake Conway, which remains the city’s main attraction. The Arkansas River is also nearby, making the city an attractive destination for outdoor recreation. “I would say rural life would be the main appeal, and affordability,” says Cason Barnhill of Keller Williams Realty – Little Rock, who has sold several homes in Mayflower.
Mayflower is located conveniently along Interstate 40.

Lakefront, other home options offer "more for your money"
Homes built primarily from the 1950s through the present day can be found throughout the community. Midcentury designs with carports and more contemporary designs with attached garages on spacious lots are prominent among traditional neighborhood housing. These offerings are concentrated in and around the heart of the community. Newly built model homes in planned developments can be found nearby. A diverse mix of established homes with related waterfront amenities graces the shores of Lake Conway. The median sales price is $235,000. “You get more for your money in Mayflower as a whole,” Barnhill says. The community’s proximity to the lake means that residents will experience hot, humid summers. Winters are typically mild. Storms are most common in the spring, and there is the risk of an occasional tornado.

Lake Conway is known for its fishing
Residents enjoy enviable access to Lake Conway, the largest man-made Game & Fish Commission lake in the United States. The 6,700-acre lake is known mostly for its stock of bass, crappie and catfish. It is currently being drained as part of a multi-year renovation to replace infrastructure, increase access and improve habitats. The Arkansas River provides even more adventures for outdoors enthusiasts. Residents can really get in touch with nature at nearby Bell Slough Wildlife Management Area. The nearly 2,400-acre tract offers opportunities for hikers and kayakers to experience natural habitats known for a diverse collection of birds. Mayflower has one municipal park, and its community center is a gathering place that caters to seniors.
