Cherry Valley, AR

Set along the western edge of Crowley's Ridge in Cross County, Cherry Valley is a quiet small town of about 700 residents.

Positioned right along Arkansas Highway 1, it sits roughly 15 minutes between Harrisburg to the north and Wynne to the south, making everyday commutes and grocery runs easy to manage.
