This corner house at the intersection of Rice and 18th St. is just two blocks from the Central High campus on a quiet side street. It has been rezoned as a duplex, with Airbnb use permitted. It is currently unsafe and vacant, and cannot be occupied until it is brought entirely up to City code. It has mostly good bones, needs substantial work and is being sold as is. where is, with fully insurable title to someone looking for an investment project in this up and coming historic area. Buyers should assume that the house will need to be gutted entirely, with all new systems installed. It has original metal casement windows, high ceilings above dropped new ones, most of its original flooring and great potential. Dive in and join the others bringing these great old places back to life!

About Central
High
Central High, located between Downtown Little Rock and the Heights, is a historic and civic-minded Little Rock neighborhood with landmark school grounds and leafy residential blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Central High National Historic Site along Daisy L. Gatson Bates Drive, where museum exhibits, shaded sidewalks, and steady foot traffic set a reflective, street-level rhythm. Early-20th-century bungalows and brick foursquares line the grid, with pocket lawns and mature trees softening the urban edges. Pillars include the Central High Museum Visitor Center, the Arkansas State Capitol, and the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center. MacArthur Park and the Arkansas River Trail add green space and long, linear routes for walking and biking. Cafes and small eateries cluster toward South Main and downtown, balancing quiet streets with city energy.
