Single-story homes range from ranch-style to shotgun cottages

Traditional ranchers feature brick exteriors, and shotgun cottages stretch back from small front-yard plots. Other single-story houses feature vinyl facades with low-gabled roofs. Larger homes are available in a variety of styles. The price range is more narrow than buyers might find in other cities throughout Arkansas, with move-in ready homes costing between $215,000 and $365,000, with prices typically reflecting the number of bedrooms available and the lot size. The median sale price for a single-family home here is under $300,000, though it is still higher than the statewide median.

Coffee shops and diners offer local color and signature dishes

On the grumpiest of mornings, you can visit Grumpy’s Coffee for a hot latte and a cinnamon roll. Once there, you’ll find that the grumpiness does not run deep. This popular local spot greets guests with a bright yellow storefront. 60s-style posters of peace and love plaster the walls, and a drive-thru treats on-the-go grumpiness. Less than a half mile south, signs fade along the painted wood exterior of Hard Luck Café, immediately embracing the rustic look of a roadside diner. This spot is known for its indulgent fried onion rings. While this café has only operated for a little over 10 years, owners claim the restaurant business has been in their family legacy since 1910.
