About 801 Shea Drive

Set at the end of a quiet cul‑de‑sac in Little Rock’s established Leawood neighborhood, 801 Shea Drive sits on a generous 0.23‑acre lot and presents a comfortable blend of classic floorplan and recent, practical updates. From the curb you’ll notice the freshly painted exterior and the new architectural shingle roof — improvements that make this one feel cared for and ready for its next chapter. With 2,252 square feet across two stories and a main‑level primary suite, the layout suits families who want functional separation without sacrificing convenience.

Step inside to a large eat‑in kitchen where quartzite countertops meet a tiled backsplash and a breakfast bar — a real gathering spot for weekday coffee or casual meals. Adjacent living areas include a cozy den with gas logs and a formal dining room for holidays and dinners. The main‑level primary bedroom features a double vanity, walk‑in closet, and separate shower and bathtub, while three additional bedrooms upstairs provide privacy for kids, guests or a home office.

Outdoor living is effortless here: the rear yard is fully fenced and anchored by a partially covered deck that extends your entertaining season. The level lot and two‑car attached garage with automatic opener add everyday convenience. Systems are modernized with central heating and air, and the home’s condition is described as good — the big maintenance items have been addressed, freeing you to focus on personalization rather than repairs.

Leawood’s amenities are an easy part of life at 801 Shea: Leawood Park is only about 0.3 miles away, and family destinations like the Little Rock Zoo (2.5 miles) and War Memorial Stadium (2.7 miles) are within a short drive. Priced at $337,000 (roughly $149/SF), this home aligns with recent sales on Shea Drive and represents a strong option for buyers seeking move‑in readiness, steady neighborhood demand, and potential rental income. Note: schools in the area have mixed public ratings; buyers with school priorities may want to explore all local options. Schedule a tour to see how the updates and practical layout come together in person.

Neighborhood & Location

Leawood is an established Little Rock neighborhood prized for its quiet streets, community pool and park, and easy access to city amenities. Residents enjoy short drives to family destinations like the Little Rock Zoo and frequent routes to nearby shopping and dining via Rodney Parham Road. The neighborhood’s cul‑de‑sacs and mature street network make it attractive to families and professionals seeking a suburban feel with city proximity. Public school ratings are mixed, so some families explore private or alternative schooling options while others prioritize the neighborhood’s strong community character.

Market Insights

Leawood currently leans toward a buyer’s market with moderate inventory and an average days‑on‑market near 55 days. The neighborhood’s median sale price across the broader 72205 area is listed around $247,000, but single‑family homes in Leawood — especially updated properties — command higher dollar per square foot. Recent comps on Shea Drive closed between $325,000 and $340,000 in late 2025, indicating this listing’s $337,000 price (≈ $149/SF) is squarely within the local comparable range. For buyers, that creates negotiating leverage: quality homes are available but buyers can be selective. For sellers, pricing to recent comps and highlighting recent capital improvements (new roof, updated kitchen) is essential to shorten market time.

Single‑family homes in Leawood typically perform well because of the neighborhood amenities — pool, park and strong proximity to city anchors — and they attract both owner‑occupants and investors. Rental comparables suggest an estimated monthly rent near $2,200 and a gross rental yield around 7.8%, making this property worth consideration for investors seeking turnkey inventory. Overall: buyers have opportunity; sellers should present recent upgrades clearly; investors will find the rent estimates compelling given local demand.
