Did you know? Music has a huge place in Helena-West Helena's heritage. In 1941, a group of blues musicians were given a spot on the brand new radio station KFFA. The group signed with a sponsor, King Biscuit Flour, and thus was born the King Biscuit Entertainers and King Biscuit Times. Eventually, that radio show led to the King Biscuit Blues Festival, which was renamed the Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival, which still happens today and is one of the biggest blues festivals in the world, held in downtown Helena on Cherry Street.

Helena-West Helena is an urban area made of up two smaller towns, Helena and West Helena (thus, the long and complicated name). Helena-West Helena is a relatively large city area in the grand scope of Arkansas, and the city has both a small, Southern country-town feel as well as the amenities of some big Southern cities. The city sits along the Mississippi River, so it's been a destination since the Civil War, when the Battle of Helena took place in 1863. However, today, Helena-West Helena remains a vibrant community with strong ties to its past, and a town that, while proud of its history, is also looking forward to a bright future.

Moving to Helena-West Helena

Whether you've decided to move to Helena or West Helena, you'll still need to prepare the same way if you're looking for places for rent! No matter what kind of homes for rent you're looking at, you're likely going to need to put in a leasing application.

Leasing applications have several parts, including informational forms given by the landlord. They also require you to prove your financial stability so that your landlord knows that you'll be able to pay your rent on time, every time. To prove this, you'll want to bring financial documents like pay stubs, bank statements, tax returns, proof of income, a letter of employment and more. You'll also want to save money before you apply for premier apartments in Helena-West Helena! You're going to need to pay rent, put down a security deposit, and pay for moving costs, so make sure you're being budget conscious before you start your move.

Neighborhoods in Helena-West Helena

Another thing you should think about before you start your move is the neighborhoods in Helena-West Helena. Do you want to live close to the water? Do you want to live somewhere with easy access to commute somewhere else? Doing a little research can make sure you end up in a place you're going to like living, that's also convenient to everything you'll need in your life.

Helena: Helena is the older part of town, geographically the eastern part of town. Helena is on the riverfront, so it's a fantastic place to be if you like lovely views. This is where you'll want to be if you like to be in the heart of the action. Not only is there a lovely historic downtown, there are also great historic attractions like the blues festival and the Delta Cultural Center.

West Helena: West Helena is the western part of town and is mainly residential. Thus, it's a good place to look for condo rentals and the like. West Helena is quiet and suburban, but it's also more affordable than Helena, so it's a good place to look if you're sticking to a certain budget.

Living in Helena-West Helena

Helena-West Helena has always been a rural place, despite its location on the Mississippi River. Thus, it's always been somewhat of a quiet, country town. Efforts in recent years to revitalize the area have helped (one of those efforts was to join the two towns together), and the growth of the blues festival has made it more of a destination in the region.

Don't expect glitzy big-city living here, but you can expect a quaint country town with everything you need. Also, nearby big cities Memphis and Oxford are great escapes when you're feeling antsy. Both offer world-class amenities and attractions and are only about one hour away by car.
