A real, planned "New Town" community

Maumelle was founded in the early 1970s as one of thirteen federally HUD-assisted "New Towns" built nationally, with the first family moving in during spring 1974.

A genuinely affluent household income

Maumelle's median household income ran approximately $103,333, genuinely one of the highest documented across this project's Arkansas markets.

A real, distinct recreational anchor

Lake Willastein Park, a real ~100-acre public park and lake, offers fishing, kayaking, and hiking trails -- genuinely distinct from the much larger Lake Maumelle drinking-water reservoir nearby.
