Working remotely from Little Rock — my experience

I've been working remotely from Little Rock for 15 years now. Here's my take:

The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.

Cost of living: pretty reasonable
Internet: Decent, getting better with new providers
Coworking spaces: Limited but the library works in a pinch

If you're looking for a place to WFH, Little Rock is worth considering.

If you can afford it, Eastside is the best place to live. Period.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Westside and Midtown are perfectly safe.

Don't sleep on Westside. It's up and coming and still affordable.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

Respectfully disagree about the safety concerns. In my experience, it really depends on your lifestyle.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

The job market has been improving lately. Several healthcare companies moved in recently.
