Midtown is a popular spot for hospital workers

As its name suggests, Midtown Little Rock is in the midst of everything. Residents here value being minutes from downtown, shopping malls, parks, and three hospitals that serve as major employers. “A lot of people that live over there work at the hospitals. People don’t want to live far away from where they work,” says Erin Dreher, a Realtor with Mid South Realty, who’s a longtime area resident. “It’s a nice part of town. A lot of the homes are older, but they’ve all been renovated. It’s very centrally located. There are a lot of shops and restaurants and you’re right near the interstate, so you can get anywhere in the city quickly.”

Fashionistas will appreciate the proximity to Park Plaza Mall

Weekly grocery shopping can be easily accomplished at Edwards Food Giant on Cantrell Road and Park Plaza Mall on Markham Street is the go-to spot for retail therapy at more than 65 shops such as H&M, Talbots and Dillard’s. For an evening of fine dining, give Trio’s a try. The eatery opened in 1968 as a gourmet shop selling everything from cookbooks to coffee and has since evolved into a casual yet elegant restaurant that regularly hosts live jazz. When locals crave Italian, they head to Graffiti’s, a locally owned restaurant that’s been serving the community since 1984.

Enjoy the outdoors at Meriwether Park

Residents can blow off steam on Meriwether Park’s paved trails and tennis courts while their little ones entertain themselves by scaling the playground’s rocket structure. The towering trees and streams provide abundant shade and a habitat for birds, making it a popular spot among birdwatchers. The Jackson Reservoir and Reservoir Park are just west of the neighborhood. The 21-acre reservoir is adjacent to the park, which offers a playground, disc golf, basketball courts and plenty of walking trails to enjoy. And with easy access to Interstate 630, it’s only a quick 5-mile drive east toward all the additional amenities Downtown Little Rock has to offer.
