Sherwood: Established Suburb with Short LRAFB Commute
Sherwood, Arkansas (Pulaski County) sits between Jacksonville and North Little Rock on the primary corridor connecting LRAFB to the Little Rock metro. The Hwy 107 and MacArthur Drive routes give Sherwood military residents fast, consistent access to the base — typically 15–20 minutes from most Sherwood neighborhoods. Sherwood is also immediately adjacent to North Little Rock, giving residents easy access to grocery stores, restaurants, the Landers Center entertainment venue, and I-30/I-40 connection to the broader metro.
Sherwood’s housing stock is predominantly 1980s–2000s single-family homes on established lots — offering more square footage, mature trees, and established landscaping compared to newer construction corridors in Cabot or Benton/Bryant. For families who prefer a finished, settled neighborhood over new construction, Sherwood delivers consistently.
Sherwood Home Prices
Sherwood median home prices run approximately $195,000–$250,000. Price ranges:
- West Sherwood / near Hwy 107: $185,000–$240,000 — strong military family concentration, shortest LRAFB commute from Sherwood
- East Sherwood / near Batesville Pike: $190,000–$260,000 — larger lots, slightly further from base
- Newer pockets of Sherwood: $240,000–$320,000 — limited new construction, premium pricing
VA loan buyers have full purchasing power throughout Sherwood. Monthly payments on a $220,000 Sherwood home at current VA loan rates run approximately $1,300–$1,450 — within BAH for O-2 through O-4 with dependents at LRAFB.
Sherwood Schools
Sherwood is served primarily by the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD), which includes several Sherwood-area schools. Sherwood families also have access to a number of magnet and open-enrollment options in the broader Pulaski County system. Military families in Sherwood have successfully open-enrolled children in Jacksonville-North Pulaski and other districts depending on space availability.
Sherwood Quality of Life
Sherwood offers Patriot Park (a large community park), the Sherwood Sports Complex, and easy access to the Arkansas River trail system via nearby North Little Rock. The Sherwood/North Little Rock corridor is one of the most established military community zones in Central Arkansas — many retired LRAFB families live in this corridor permanently. Veterans’ organizations, military-affiliated businesses, and a general culture of military awareness make Sherwood a comfortable landing spot for new families PCSing to LRAFB.

Ashley Watters helps military families evaluate Sherwood’s neighborhoods and find homes that fit their budget and school priorities.
