Townhomes for Sale in Harrisburg, AR

Harrisburg holds true to its agricultural history in the Arkansas Delta. The city of around 2,200 became the seat of Poinsett County thanks to its location west of Crowley’s Ridge, a chain of verdant highlands that runs from Missouri to Arkansas, towering over the Delta. “It’s a great little town as far as small-town living goes; people that live there love it,” says longtime local Rick McKenzie, executive broker of Crye-Leike. “Lots of farmers live there, and farmland is in every direction around it.” Agricultural exports from Harrisburg include rice, soybeans and cotton. Prices in Harrisburg range from less than $100,000 to the low $400,000s. The community has a mix of vintage homes, including bungalows and farmhouses from the early 1900s. Contemporary properties, built after 1970, are also popular, including ranch-style houses and New Traditional properties. Half-, full- and multi-acre lots are common; however, McKenzie says, “Acreage on the ridge is in high demand and low supply because you get pretty rolling hills and a lot of tree-covered area up there instead of just flat farmland.” Properties in special flood zones may need flood insurance for a federally backed mortgage.
