Most important is the quality of life. It is hard to decide which aspects of Sherwood our residents appreciate most - the 17 city parks, the recreation and youth centers, the safe, family-friendly neighborhoods. In fact, the Arkansas Democrat Gazette recently acknowledged Sherwood as having the lowest crime rate in Pulaski County. Sherwood residents can also choose from a number of top-quality private or public schools. We have ample health care opportunities; with 2 hospitals and many medical clinics, more than 220 physicians practice in Sherwood. More than 30 churches are also located here. Sherwood is a community with something for everyone.

Then there is our great location. Quick access to area attractions such as the events at the Little Rock Zoo, the concerts at Alltel Arena, and Razorbacks and Travelers games at Ray Winder Field put an end to long commutes. We are 10 minutes from downtown Little Rock and its governmental and financial districts. Being in the center of Arkansas means that you can take day trips to explore why they call us the Natural State. Whether you are most interested in restaurants and shopping, or exception health care, Central Arkansas can meet your needs. And living in Sherwood can get you there quickly.

Our diverse neighborhoods have something for every taste and budget. So many new homes and even entire neighborhoods are being built that, in many instances, you can pick your colors and floor plan. Would you like to live on a beautiful golf course? Several homes overlook the greens of North Hills Country Club. Or would you rather a neighborhood of larger homes built away from it all? Neighborhoods such as Gap Creek and Overcup Acres are a peaceful change from "big city" living. Homes in the North Lake subdivision enjoy the scenery of beautiful Indianhead Lake. You and your family will feel right at home in Sherwood.

Corporate locations are profited by the combination of advantages that Arkansas, and particularly Sherwood, offer. Our pro-business climate includes low crime, competitive incentives, low labor costs, low transportation costs and low taxes. We have an abundance of qualified workers for your business. For these reasons, Arkansas was rated the #1 business climate in the South by Southern Business and Development magazine (December 2002).

Whether your company markets to local clientele or international businesses, Sherwood has the infrastructure to support you. Foreign trade zones at nearby Little Rock Port Authority and Little Rock National Airport eliminate many of the costs and obstacles imposed by US Trade laws. Easy access to Interstates 30 and 40 make overland transportation easy. And our utilities infrastructure is strong and reliable for your manufacturing and information technology requirements.

Sherwood businesses thrive in such a stable community. A wide variety of companies and family-owned businesses have made their home in Sherwood, as well, including the corporate offices of Delta Dental and the Heritage Companies.
