In the dynamic heart of Northeast Arkansas, Jonesboro isn’t just growing—it’s thriving. At the center of this growth stands Hudson Court, a residential enclave that has quietly become one a compelling real-estate play. For families with students at Arkansas State University (ASU) and investors looking to build enduring wealth, Hudson Court delivers a rare trifecta: location, lifestyle, and long-term demand all hidden away behind the gates at The Landing at Hudson.
1. A Home Near ASU Is Real Demand, Not a Fad
Every fall, thousands of students, faculty, and staff converge on Arkansas State University’s growing campus. This isn’t a seasonal burst—it’s a steady pulse that keeps the local rental market robust year after year. Parents with students often seek nearby housing, whether temporarily while their student settles in or with long-term plans to rent out later. Owning in Hudson Court means stepping into a captured market with built-in need.
But demand doesn’t stop with students. ASU’s growth continues to fuel jobs, research partnerships, and cultural engagement, translating to a diverse pool of future renters—including young professionals, graduate students, and visiting academics.
2. Renters Love Walkability, Convenience & Community
Hudson Court’s appeal isn’t just proximity—it’s connectivity. Being minutes from campus means students can walk or bike to classes, athletic events, and student life venues without the friction of traffic or parking constraints. For renters, that convenience is gold.
And it’s not just students who value easy access. Faculty, staff, and medical professionals at nearby institutions are drawn to homes that slash commute times and enhance everyday quality of life. Hudson Court ticks those boxes beautifully…especially since it is within walking distance to all of the shops, restaurants and entertainment of Greensborough Village.
3. Baptist Medical Center: A Pillar of Stability & Jobs
Just a short drive from Hudson Court, NEA Baptist Medical Center – Northeast Arkansas is more than a hospital—it’s an economic anchor. With thousands employed across clinical, administrative, and support roles, the hospital fuels consistent housing demand from professionals who prefer living near work. Nurses, therapists, tech specialists, and executives alike seek comfortable, well-located homes—and many are open to rental options before committing to ownership.
This healthcare magnet makes Hudson Court not just a student-focused play, but a multi-tenant opportunity for homeowners.
4. Greensborough Village: The New Heartbeat of Hilltop Living
Jonesboro’s landscape is evolving. Nowhere is that more evident than in the Hilltop area and Greensborough Village, the emerging epicenter of dining, entertainment, and culture on the Hilltop. Think sunny patios, chef-driven bistros, craft breweries, boutique retailers, and vibrant nightlife—just moments from Hudson Court.
For renters today, lifestyle matters. Walkable, social, amenity-rich neighborhoods are commanding higher rents and longer leases. A Hudson Court property isn’t just a roof; it’s access to an experience—one that’s only becoming more magnetic as the Village matures.

Savvy investors know that location is permanent but demand patterns evolve. With Jonesboro’s population growing, ASU’s enrollment stable, healthcare expansion continuing, and Greensborough Village becoming a must-visit destination, Hudson Court sits at the convergence of durable demand drivers.
That means:
Higher occupancy rates
Predictable rental income
Appreciation tied to local economic growth
Easy transition from personal use to rental asset
Whether you plan to hold for five years or twenty, this is a market built on fundamentals, not speculation.
