OK so I'm retired and Crime rate is something to consider — Little Rock sits at 1,516.8 per 100K. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Let me know your thoughts. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. it's not perfect but it works for me. Compared to LA it's excellent.

I've lived in Uptown for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Decent public transit for the size
- The safety scene is tough
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Hope this helps!.
