Rows of quirky staircases carved from the hillsides lead to historic homes perched atop green lawns that slope toward the street. Across the narrow strip of asphalt, neighboring houses feature the opposite -- staircases leading down to homes tucked away in a gulch. Trees shade sidewalks that lead through the historic neighborhood to a tiny shopping district, and it all comes together to create a homey, slightly askew, but completely lived-in vibe that residents of Hillcrest adore. With a history dating to around 1890, Hillcrest is considered one of Little Rock's first suburbs. The neighborhood is adjacent to downtown on its southeast side, and it is directly north of the Little Rock Zoo and War Memorial Stadium. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is about three blocks south of the neighborhood. If you choose a Hillcrest apartment, you'll enjoy shopping at the Hillcrest Farmers Market, attending the Havestfest event in the fall, walking the Hillcrest Promenade, hiking or bicycling along the Allsopp Park trails, and seeing the beautiful city skyline from the lookout at Knoop Park.

It is mostly a good neighborhood but sometimes there are crimes happening here but most days are great. There are 4 schools around this neighborhood and they are good school.

Hillcrest is the best part of Little Rock in my opinion. I've lived here most of my life and wouldn't have it any other way. It has great pre-elementary, elementary and middle schools. It is full of dog friendly restaurants, locally owned shops and friendly residents. The only complaint I have is the price of housing. It is not cheap to live here, but it is worth it.
