Lacey, AR

Lacey is a quiet rural community in Drew County, sitting just a short drive south of Monticello. With a population of around 140 people, it offers a relaxed countryside setting surrounded by pine timber and family farmland. There is no busy commercial strip here, just scattered homes, local churches, and plenty of open space, making it an appealing spot for anyone who values privacy and a slower pace.

Residents head north to Monticello for groceries, medical care, schools, and jobs at the local timber mills or the university campus. That close proximity lets you enjoy wide-open acreage and great outdoor recreation, like hunting and fishing, while still keeping everyday conveniences within easy reach. For people looking to settle down in southeast Arkansas, Lacey provides peaceful country living with the county seat right up the road.
