Straddling both Pulaski and Saline counties in Central Arkansas, Alexander is one of the few cities in the state that spans two counties. This small city of just over 3,300 residents spans only 2.26 square miles and traces its roots back to 1887 when it was incorporated after starting as a railroad construction camp.

Rental options in Alexander include townhomes and single-family residences with average one-bedroom apartments renting for approximately $1,153 per month. The rental market shows modest growth with a 1.8% annual increase in rates. The city's location along Interstate 30 puts both Bryant and Little Rock within easy reach, providing residents access to extensive shopping centers, parks, and entertainment venues.

Alexander sits approximately 15 miles southwest of downtown Little Rock, making it an ideal spot for commuters. The community is served by two school districts: Bryant School District for the Saline County portion and Pulaski County Special School District for the Pulaski County section. The Arkansas Juvenile Assessment and Treatment Center is also located within Alexander, serving as one of the area's major employers. While maintaining its small-town roots, Alexander offers residents the advantage of living in a peaceful setting while remaining just minutes from the capital city's amenities.
