Why Live in Southside

Southside, Arkansas is a small residential community along the White River, where many people move for the Southside School District’s generally high ratings and comparatively affordable housing. Most homes are ranch-style or split-level, with New Traditional houses in the Buffalo Creek subdivision and two-story townhomes in The Upper 23 at Buffalo Ridge. Newer homes built after 2000 sit mainly to the north, some with Batesville addresses. The region does see severe weather, including ice storms, tornadoes, and some flood risk, which is an important consideration for homeowners. Day-to-day life centers around U.S. Highway 167, where residents find basics like Dollar General, Harps Food Stores, and local spots such as Donut Palace, El Palenque Mexican Restaurant, and Triangle Café. For larger retailers like Kroger and Walmart Supercenter, people typically drive less than 5 miles across the river to Batesville, which also has White River Medical Center. Southside is in a dry county, though certain restaurants and private clubs provide membership options for ordering alcohol with meals. The White River is a major draw and features fishing, kayaking, and boating, with access points between Southside and Batesville, including a ramp at Lock and Dam No. 1. While Southside currently has no community parks, a public green space is in the planning stages, and residents often use the Community Center and Aquatics Park in Batesville, which features Fitzhugh Water Park with pools, a lazy river, and a waterslide.
