Searcy County
Searcy County is the only rural county in Arkansas that's grown over the last decade — without losing the quiet that made people fall for it. Here's the lay of the land.
The heart of the county. Marshall sits on Highway 65 with the courthouse square, the schools, groceries, clinics, and our office. Most of the county's in-town housing is here — modest, well-kept homes on quiet streets.
A few miles south of Marshall, Leslie began as a railroad stop and keeps that small-town feel — old storefronts, a strong volunteer spirit, and some of the best value homes and land in the county.
Out toward the western side of the county, St. Joe is the last stop before the river country. Backroads, cattle farms, timberland, and homes with real elbow room.
North of Marshall where the ridges stack up, Witts Springs is Richland Creek country — springs, hollows, and some of the prettiest land in the county.
Up Highway 27 from Marshall, Harriet is a quiet community surrounded by pasture and woods.
One of the smallest incorporated towns in Arkansas, sitting right on the Buffalo National River. A handful of homes, a historic general store, and gravel bars out the front door.
1.5 million people visited the Buffalo National River last year.
Locals just call it going to the river. Floating it, wading it, hunting the hollows that feed it — when you live here, the state's biggest attraction is your regular Tuesday.
Every one of these communities has its own character and its own price range. Tell us how you want to live, and we'll tell you honestly where that fits.
