I moved here in 2016 when it was very sleepy. I moved here BEFORE the Trader Joe's, Costco, Chase Bank What a Burger, Amazon Warehouse, Miniature Golf Courses, Beef A Roo, Aldi's (coming soon) etc. Housing was dirt cheap seven years ago. Today housing is moderately high due to the influx of young professionals and families looking for a better quality of life at an affordable price.
LR is no longer cheap but not ridiculously high either. Well not yet. LR has a lot to offer with it's slower pace, light traffic most of the time and beautiful scenery. If one likes milder Winters with little or no snow, sunny days (LR and NLR ranks 10th sunniest city in America)and humidity this is the place to be.
The number of hospitals are great! We have five in LR and the Children's Hospital is well renowned in the US. I am literally 3 miles from my doctors which is a blessing. LR also have Carti Cancer Center and a VA Hospital.
Crime is in a certain part of town. Stay out and you are fine.

Amidst the quasi-urban expanse of Little Rock, my individual experience settled into a state of mediocrity. The days unfolded in a landscape that failed to evoke the excitement and vibrancy I had hoped for. While the city held pockets of charm and historical significance, a sense of underwhelm permeated the daily interactions. The absence of notable cultural offerings and limited recreational opportunities left me yearning for more. Although I navigated the routines and forged connections with acquaintances, a pervasive sense of mundanity tinged their overall experience. Despite the mediocrity, I found solace in the city's tranquil moments and sought contentment within the confines of my own aspirations.
I loved Little Rock, and I lived downtown in an apartment. One of the best things about Little Rock's downtown is the variety of entertainment options. From art galleries and theaters to craft breweries and bars, there's something for everyone. The River Market is a popular destination, offering an array of farmers markets, shops, and restaurants, as well as a scenic view of the Arkansas River.
In addition to its vibrant culture, Little Rock's downtown is also a hub for business and innovation. The city is home to a number of thriving companies, including tech startups and established corporations, making it an ideal location for anyone looking to advance their career.
The downtown area is also well-connected, with easy access to public transportation, major highways, and the airport. This makes it an ideal location for both commuting and exploring the rest of the city and beyond.
