Many neighborhoods contain homes of so many different styles and landscapes that they are very interesting to drive through or to live in. Since Little Rock is not a huge city, there are opportunities for green space among the houses. Plenty of mature trees reside in neighborhoods. Part of the city is hilly, and houses can be found with views of Pinnacle Mountain, a ridge, the city, or the river. The winter in Little Rock, although cold, is usually not brutal.
