North Little Rock's Rose City neighborhood is a suburb that exudes small-town vibes. "Rose City is what I would call an 'old-school town,'" says Alicia Averitt Haley, executive broker for PorchLight Realty, who's been representing the area since 2006. "It is small, and everyone knows each other. Most people love living there because it is where they grew up, or their family is from there, and they want to keep the area alive."
Rose City offices are now used by the North Little Rock Police Department.

Prices here range from $35,000 to $189,000. Some homes have garages, but the majority have carports for parking.
