Gravel Ridge is close to amenities in greater Sherwood
The once-independent community of Gravel Ridge officially became part of the city of Sherwood in 2008, but residents will still attest to it being its own, readily distinguishable area. “You have the best of both worlds,” says Valentine Hansen, a Realtor with Re/Max Properties, who has been selling homes in the area for 40 years. “It still has a semirural feel. People use the bayou for fishing and paddling. You don’t have that in the city.” Densely wooded streetscapes and bayou access invite homebuyers seeking countryside living, while still offering proximity to amenities in greater Sherwood and downtown Little Rock, 14 miles away. “You are 5 minutes from any stores you need,” Hansen adds.

Paddling and fishing on the Bayou Meto
Residents head to The Bayou Meto Urban Canoe Trail off Main Street to paddle a 2-mile stretch among forested scenery. Anglers are also regulars here, as the waterway is abundant in largemouth bass and catfish. At Don Hughes Park in the heart of the neighborhood, locals can lay out a spread at the picnic shelter, let the kids run around the playground, shoot some hoops or get their steps in on the paved walking trail. “With the greenery comes the quietness, the relative safety and the community aspect,” says Casey Moser, a Realtor with PorchLight Realty who lives in the area. “It’s close to the action, but far from the noise.”
Bayou Metro Urban Canoe Trail is a great place to get the canoe in the water.

Gravel Ridge offers vintage and new construction
A mix of 1960s and ‘70s ranch styles and contemporary brick residences with two-car garages make up the bulk of options in Gravel Ridge. Older properties typically offer roomy lots, marked by grassy front yards and wooded fenced-in backyards. Newer subdivisions have more compact yards and sidewalk-lined streets. “A lot of these developers are coming in,” Hansen says. “It’s going to be a little boomtown soon.” Vintage homes range from $150,000 to $225,000, while recent construction runs from $250,000 to $350,000. “Homes are going within 20 days. Things are selling really quickly there,” Hansen says. “We have a lot of new people moving to Arkansas. Mostly from the West Coast. People will sell their $2 million house in California, buy something here, and put the rest of the money in the bank. We have a low cost of living.” According to the CAP Index Crime Score, Gravel Ridge's overall crime score is 3 out of 10, slightly lower than the national average of 4.
