Little Rock is a vibrant mid-South city, recently named by Livability Magazine as one of the top 100 best places to live in the United States.  With a strong economy, excellent health care, and a low cost of living, Little Rock is a wonderful place to call home.  

Little Rock is the geographic center of Arkansas, the state’s capital, and its most populous city with approximately 200,000 residents and 750,000 in the metro area.  Little Rock offers many cultural attractions, such as the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts (termed by Forbes Magazine as “America’s most inviting art museum”), the Clinton Presidential Library and Museum (host of the Clinton School of Public Service), and the Little Rock Central High National Historic Site (named a top ten site on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail).  Of course, young children may prefer the Museum of Discovery or the Little Rock Zoo.

Little Rock rests at the foot of the beautiful Ouachita Mountains on the Arkansas River, making it a perfect setting for outdoor recreation.  Arkansas is called “The Natural State” for a reason!  Near Little Rock are mountains for hiking, rivers for fishing and floating (including the Buffalo River, America’s first national river), lands for hunting, lakes for boating and water skiing, and 1,200 miles of bike trails.  Within Little Rock itself, there is the Arkansas River Trail, Riverfront Park, and Pinnacle Mountain State Park.

The city has several outstanding venues for live music, from historic dive bars to Simmons Bank Arena, which has hosted Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, and the Rolling Stones.  Theater aficionados have ample options.  Robinson Performance Hall hosts the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra’s Masterworks and Pops series, as well as a Broadway touring series.  The Arkansas Repertory Theatre is the oldest nonprofit theatre in Arkansas and is affiliated with Actors’ Equity.  Little Rock is also home to numerous community theaters, including Murry’s Dinner Playhouse, Argenta Contemporary Theater, The Weekend Theater, the Studio Theatre, and Actors Theatre of Little Rock.

Little Rock has a variety of options for education, including traditional public schools, public charter schools, and a number of private schools.  The Little Rock School District includes historic Little Rock Central High School, which regularly has the largest number of National Merit Semi-Finalists in the State.  And, of course, Trinity has a special relationship with Episcopal Collegiate School, an elite academic institution where clergy receive a 50% tuition discount for up to two children (private school tuition is reduced further by a school voucher payment of $6,672 per child).
