Hillcrest is Little Rock's first streetcar suburb and a designated historic district — listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1990 (expanded 1992). It's a walkable, early-1900s neighborhood of Craftsman bungalows, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Prairie, and Foursquare homes centered on Kavanaugh Boulevard, not a gated HOA community.
Hillcrest is served by the Little Rock School District (LRSD). Guides commonly cite Pulaski Heights Elementary, Pulaski Heights Middle School, and Little Rock Central High School (a National Historic Site) for the area. Attendance zones can change, so confirm a specific address with LRSD.
As a City of Little Rock home in the Little Rock School District, a Hillcrest property is taxed at 70.10 total mills (city + Pulaski County + LRSD levies). Because Arkansas taxes 20% of appraised value, that works out to an effective rate of about 1.40% — roughly $2,804 per year on a $200,000 home.
Kavanaugh Boulevard is Hillcrest's walkable commercial heart, home to the Hillcrest Merchants Association and a concentration of locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and retailers such as Kemuri, US Pizza Co., Mylo Coffee Co., Loblolly Creamery, and the Riverdale 10 VIP Cinema. Sidewalks and small lots make it easy to reach shops, dining, and Allsopp Park on foot.
