Sherwood, Arkansas Real Estate Overview
Sherwood is a city of approximately 32,000 people located in northern Pulaski County, directly northeast of North Little Rock. It sits between North Little Rock and Jacksonville on the Highway 107 and Pike Avenue corridors — making it one of the best-positioned suburbs for LRAFB commuters who want more community amenities than Jacksonville but a shorter commute than Cabot or Maumelle.
Sherwood has been a bedroom community for the Little Rock metro for decades, with most of its residential development occurring between the 1970s and 2000s. The result is a well-established neighborhood base with mature trees, developed infrastructure, and a range of home sizes and styles at accessible price points.
Sherwood Home Prices 2026
Sherwood home prices range from approximately $160,000 for smaller older ranch homes to $320,000+ for updated or larger properties. The median price is approximately $205,000–$225,000, placing Sherwood slightly above Jacksonville (which runs lower) and below Cabot (which trends higher for newer builds). For VA loan buyers targeting the $175,000–$250,000 range, Sherwood offers good inventory depth — typically 40–70 active listings at any given time across this price range.
Commute to LRAFB
Sherwood’s biggest advantage for LRAFB military families is its commute. From most Sherwood neighborhoods, the drive to LRAFB’s main gate runs approximately 15–20 minutes via Pike Avenue/Highway 107 to Highway 67/167. This is significantly shorter than Cabot (20–25 min) or Maumelle (25–30 min) while offering more community amenities than Jacksonville. For service members who want a short commute and don’t want to live in Jacksonville, Sherwood is the natural choice.
Schools in Sherwood
Sherwood falls within the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD). Sherwood’s neighborhood schools — particularly Sylvan Hills High School — generally rate better than other PCSSD campuses due to neighborhood demographics and parental engagement. For families with school-age children who still want the shorter commute of Sherwood vs. Cabot, Sylvan Hills is typically the strongest PCSSD option in the area. Families who prioritize the absolute top school ratings will still tend toward Cabot, but Sherwood’s schools are respectable and stable.
Community Amenities
Sherwood has a full complement of suburban amenities: Sherwood Community Park (baseball, soccer, walking trails), the Sherwood Aquatic Center, a growing retail and dining corridor along Highway 107, and easy access to North Little Rock’s extensive amenities across the city line. The city is safe, well-maintained, and has active community programming. Sherwood lacks the lake or mountain access of some other communities, but for families prioritizing convenience and commute, it delivers well.
Sherwood vs Jacksonville vs Cabot
Jacksonville: Cheapest (avg $160K–$230K), closest to LRAFB (5–10 min), but lowest-rated schools. Best for: buyers prioritizing affordability and minimal commute over school ratings.
Sherwood: Mid-range (avg $175K–$280K), 15–20 min commute, PCSSD schools (Sylvan Hills being the strongest option). Best for: buyers wanting shorter commute than Cabot with more amenities than Jacksonville.
Cabot: Higher prices (avg $200K–$320K), 20–25 min commute, top-rated Cabot School District. Best for: families with school-age children who prioritize school quality above all.
VA Loans in Sherwood
Sherwood is a solid VA loan market. Sellers in the area are familiar with VA transactions given the proximity to LRAFB, and home prices are well within conforming loan limits. The inventory is active enough that VA buyers can move quickly when the right property appears. Ashley Watters has closed VA loan transactions throughout Pulaski County and knows the specific neighborhood dynamics in Sherwood well.
