Living in Little rock
Little Rock is a beautiful place to live. It's big enough to have the cultural perks of an urban center but small enough to randomly see people you know running errands across town. It has amenities like truly great restaurants while you can still cross the entire city within 25 minutes in rush hour. Nestled between the Ouachita and Ozark Mountain ranges, Little Rock does not lack for natural beauty and outdoors activities. You can take the entire family on one of the many hiking trails or rolling creeks within a short drive's distance. After a fun day outdoors, top off the evening by watching a play at any of our seven local theatres. Before long, you'll understand why Southern Living magazine recently ranked Little Rock as one of the South's Best Cities! (HERE)
