Hillcrest is an extremely family friendly neighborhood. It is pedestrian friendly and has lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and a grocery store. Allsop park has great trails for running. PHE and PHMS are two of the best schools in the Little Rock School District. Hillcrest tends to be a very well-educated and liberal neighborhood. It's main problems are it has expensive housing and it lacks diversity.
I've lived in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Little Rock, AR for almost 20 years. It's an old historic neighborhood with many local businesses: restaurants, salons, shopping, etc. I absolutely love being associated with this tight knit, laid back community. We have several community events that are very enjoyable. On the first Thursday of every month, all of our local businesses extend their hours and open their doors for Hillcrest Shop 'N Sip. It gives the community an opportunity to visit businesses and socialize with neighbors. Every Saturday morning, we have Hillcrest Farmers Market. Local farmers, vendors, and food truck operators offer their products for sample and sale. Annually, in November, we have a 2 day festival called HarvestFest. It is two fun-filled days of local vendors, food, and entertainment. All of the Hillcrest community events are free to attend. It is wobderful to be a Hillcrest resident!
Hillcrest is an historic area of Little Rock, Arkansas. There are many restaurants and coffee shops that are locally owned and operated by neighborhood folks. The first Thursday of each month is what we call, sip and shop', as stores are open in the evening, serving treats and beverages, so people can socialize and enjoy a different type of shopping experience. The art galleries in the area all participate in this event as well, again featuring local artists. The Hillcrest Farmer's market is on Saturdays from May until November and is filled with very local urban farmers. There are at least three urban farms within a two mile radius, from which many restaurants source their produce and some meats. Hillcrest has an annual Fall festival with live music, family events and (of course) food, local brew pub offerings and art. I am happy to be living in such a lovely, friendly, healthy neighborhood and hope you will come to visit any time you are in Little Rock!
