North Argenta
Quaint single-story homes at relatively affordable prices
North Argenta is a blend of residential and industrial space, and its homes tend toward compact, single-story styles like bungalows, Cape Cods and cottages lining the leafy streets. Though lot sizes are typically modest, homes are shaded by mature trees and have wooded backyards, with driveways tucked to the side. Many homes were built between the 1930s and ‘50s, but some newly constructed properties with brick-and-vinyl siding can also be found. Depending on square footage and condition, asking prices run from $75,000 to $200,000, with the median single-family home selling for about $100,000.North Little Rock Schools focus on college and career readiness
Kids can attend North Little Rock Schools, starting at Seventh Street Elementary, which earns a C-minus from Niche. North Little Rock Middle School, which is split into a sixth-grade campus and a seventh- and eighth-grade campus, scores a C grade. North Little Rock High receives a C-plus and assigns its students to one of three college-readiness academies, including Health and Human Services; Business, Hospitality and Future Technology; and Digital, Visual and Performing Arts.
Homestyle cooking to satisfy empty stomachs
In the heart of North Argenta, highly-rated soul food awaits. Among the best-loved is Lindsey’s Hospitality House, known around the region for its catfish and slow-cooked meats sold by the pound. The eatery has partnered with Fat Jaws Soul Food and Southern Eats, a new business in downtown Little Rock whose dishes now appear alongside Lindsey’s staples. Just two blocks north, Walker’s has a cafeteria-style setup, so hungry residents can pile on as much or as little savory macaroni and cheese and fried chicken as they desire. Even dining options line Main Street in the Argenta Arts District to the south.
From big-box shopping at McCain Mall to the local seafood market
When it comes to cooking at home, Tom’s Fish Market sits just a few blocks up Pike Avenue with what locals consider to be the highest-quality catfish and buffalo fish in town. To stock up on more than seafood, head to Kroger 4 miles northeast next to McCain Mall, the largest enclosed shopping center in Central Arkansas.
Staying active with indoor and outdoor facilities
Residents who want to stay active will find athletic opportunities concentrated just a couple blocks north at the North Little Rock Community Center. The fitness center is complete with weights and typical machines like treadmills, and the gymnasium is always bustling with pickup basketball games. It’s right next to North Little Rock Public Library’s Laman branch for a bit of mental exercise as well. North Argenta also has an outdoor offering in 17th Street Park, though it is more suited for toddlers. Although oddly not located on its namesake road, this tiny mulched, fenced-in playset has just two slides and a narrow grassy field surrounding it.
Hop on the Interstate or across the river to Little Rock
Situated where Interstate 40 meets Interstate 30, residents of North Argenta have easy access beyond the greater Little Rock area. They’re also just a few blocks from Argenta Arts District and right across the river from downtown Little Rock, approximately 10 minutes or 3 miles away from attractions like the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. If residents are looking for a getaway that’ll take them airborne, they’re less than 15 minutes from hopping on a flight at Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. In the event of an emergency, Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock is 10 minutes to the east, right along I-40 near McCain Mall. Rock Region Metro bus stops throughout the neighborhood provide car-alternate options for travel.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
