The Heights

The Heights is the northern half of Pulaski Heights, Little Rock's first suburb — 800 acres bought by Michigan investors in 1891, opened up by the electric streetcar in 1903, incorporated as its own town on August 1, 1905 and annexed by Little Rock in 1916; Cantrell Road now divides it from Hillcrest to the south. Homes center on a 1941 median build year — Tudor, Georgian Revival, Craftsman and Colonial Revival houses on established, tree-lined streets — and there is no mandatory HOA, only a voluntary neighborhood association.

The Kavanaugh Boulevard village is the Heights' commercial core — boutiques and restaurants where the Heights Theater showed films from 1946 to 1985 — and the Country Club of Little Rock, founded in 1902, anchors the neighborhood's west side. Before the houses, the west end was Forest Park (1904–1919), a 40-acre streetcar amusement park whose stone entrance columns still stand at Kavanaugh and Pierce. Homes.com's trailing-twelve-month figures (October 2026) put the median sale price at $655,000 (about $268 per square foot across 86 sales) — among the highest of any Little Rock neighborhood. Public schools split by address between Forest Park and Jefferson elementaries, then Pulaski Heights Middle and Little Rock Central High — confirm any specific address with LRSD.
