A 1959 master-planned west Little Rock neighborhood of 950+ homes wrapped around the 27-hole Pleasant Valley Country Club — POA pools and tennis, Fulbright Elementary inside the neighborhood, I-430 access.
Pleasant Valley is a master-planned west Little Rock neighborhood with an unusually documented birth: on April 20, 1959, Pleasant Valley Inc. — an investment group that included future governor Winthrop Rockefeller and R.A. “Brick” Lile — closed on 1,100 acres for $1.15 million and built it out through the 1960s with then-rare underground utilities, reaching more than 950 homes. The Pleasant Valley Property Owners Association maintains two pools, tennis courts, parks and playgrounds (it does not publish a per-household dues figure).
The neighborhood wraps around the Pleasant Valley Country Club — older than the neighborhood itself: founded in 1947 as the Riverdale Country Club, it moved here after a contested 347–133 member vote and opened on November 24, 1968; today it is a 27-hole Joe Finger design that hosts the PGA Tour Champions' Simmons Bank Championship. Homes.com's trailing-twelve-month figures (October 2026) put the median sale price at $395,000 (about $161 per square foot across 51 sales). Fulbright Elementary sits inside the neighborhood at 300 Pleasant Valley Drive; high-school assignment is in transition as LRSD's new Little Rock West High School approaches its fall 2027 opening — confirm any specific address with LRSD.

Pleasant Valley is built around the Pleasant Valley Country Club in the heart of West Little Rock. The club features a 27-hole championship golf course designed by architect Joe Finger, plus tennis, fitness, and pool amenities — and in 2024 it began hosting the Simmons Bank Championship on the PGA TOUR Champions, the first PGA TOUR Champions event ever held in Arkansas.
Pleasant Valley is within the City of Little Rock, so its public schools are Little Rock School District (LRSD) schools. Elementary, middle, and high school assignments are made by address, so confirm a specific address with LRSD using the district's attendance zone maps.
A City of Little Rock home in the LRSD pays about 70.0 total mills (city, Pulaski County, and school levies combined), which works out to roughly a 1.40% effective rate — about $2,800 a year on a $200,000 home, since Arkansas taxes 20% of appraised value.
Pleasant Valley is an established neighborhood in west Little Rock with convenient highway access via Interstate 430 — a partial interchange at Rodney Parham Road and I-430 opened in 1970 — making I-430 the main route connecting the area to the rest of the metro.
