So you are correct, it's all what you're willing to adjust to. Thanks
Large metro area in TX? Say it ain't so

I just moved up here from TX, about 16 months ago.
I am too far from Russellville to answer the question directly,
but there are a couple observations I can make.

1. Anywhere in AR is more like Mayberry than Austin.
2. What you will want will partially depend on what you have become accustomed to.

On point one, getting anywhere that is more than a dozen miles off the Interstate will largely satisfy your desires. But becoming too rural has its own problems if you are not used to it.

On point two, you were looking for something near the mountains, and if you are coming from Beaumont TX, anything is closer but I think the towns North of Russellville are a lot closer to the mountains. Smaller and twistier roads being the trade-off.

Beyond that, I found that when I started looking for a place to buy, the availability of a suitable house determined the rest.

Pelsor is nothing but an intersection with an old, closed-down, country store. It's certainly in a beautiful spot, though...north is Jasper and the Buffalo, east is Richland Creek wilderness, Falling Water Falls, etc., and west is Haw Creek Falls campground. Beautiful scenery all the way around.

I got hostile replies for suggesting AR had such places in another thread.. Again... Pick an opinion.. Either you like rural culture or you want to bury it under a strip mall; can't have both..

It´s an entire state though. This is asking about individual towns. You probably can find towns like you want in just about ANY state.

I don't know of the hostile replies you got, unless
you are talking about the Georgia thread, where you
ran into people who didn't like what was written
and simply (and successfully) posted stuff they knew
would get the thread locked.

But this isn't Georgia forum.

If you are, as you once said, seriously considering
buying land down here (or over here) then as far
as Georgia is concerned: fuhgeddaboudit.

Stick to posting here
