The Heights
The Heights is Little Rock's old-money address, the kind of neighborhood where the trees are older than your grandparents and the houses have names. Tudor revivals and Colonials line streets that curve for aesthetic rather than logical reasons. Kavanaugh Boulevard does the heavy lifting for nightlife and coffee, with a tight cluster of restaurants where the bartenders remember your order and judge it silently. Tradeoffs: rents skew high, parking after seven is a competitive sport, and the social geometry can feel closed if you didn't grow up here. Bring a date who appreciates porches, brick, and a slow walk home.
