Upper Baseline is wonderfully walkable
Upper Baseline has a modest moniker. This walkable Little Rock, Arkansas neighborhood packs principal essentials into its boundaries and boasts housing prices that are markedly lower than the national average. “That’s a great area for an investor who wants to get in and have a cash flow or a first-time homebuyer. You can get a solid home for $130,000 there,” says Erin Dreher, a Realtor with Mid South Realty, who’s a longtime area resident. “If you’re a first-time homebuyer or have a limited income, that’s the area.”
Welcome to Upper Baseline
The residential streets – mostly on the western side close to the bustling shopping area – are typically densely wooded and lined with brick, traditional-style homes. They come with broad, open yards guarded by towering loblolly pine trees and paved driveways leading into two-car garages.
Depending on square footage and condition, asking prices range from $100,000 to $225,000. A three-bedroom, one-bath 1950s ranch home could run in the low-$100,000s, while a four-bedroom, two-bath 1960s split level may cost around $200,000. “It’s a good market there. Things sell quickly,” Dreher says. “I’ve gotten offers in two weeks in that area.”
There are homes in Upper Baseline that have larger yards along with many trees.
Upper Baseline has rows of ranch style homes that line the quiet streets.

Walk to Kroger and local eateries
For dining out, residents head to the main thoroughfare, Geyer Springs Road, which brims with restaurants. Little China and Latino Food can satiate almost any craving, with its extensive menu featuring everything from fried rice and chop suey to pork belly. Just a couple blocks south lies El Alamo, a spot for Mexican cuisine lovers that also accommodates picky eaters. You can snag a fajita taco salad while the kids choose from its burger and chicken selections. This busy road also plays host to shopping centers with familiar chains like Kroger, AT&T and Planet Fitness. “There are fast food restaurants, banks, grocery stores, convenience stores, anything you could need,” Dreher says. “Everything is walkable. Not from every house, but from a lot of them.”

Wind down at Long Branch Original Biker Bar
A popular nightlife hangout beckons on Scott Hamilton Drive. Long Branch Original Biker Bar often turns first-timers into regulars thanks to its abundance of pool tables and weekly live music performances. And with a quick 6-mile trip east via Interstate 30, which runs through the neighborhood, entertainment on a larger scale awaits in downtown Little Rock.
