Oak Grove, AR (Town)

Oak Grove is a quiet rural town in northern Carroll County, Arkansas, right next to the Missouri state line. Located where Highways 21 and 103 meet, the community traces its roots back to a 19th-century homestead and store along Indian Creek. Today, with fewer than 400 residents spread across open country, it provides a relaxed setting with plenty of space for newcomers looking for a slower pace of life.

The town has a friendly, close-knit feel where neighbors connect at the local park, churches, and the former schoolhouse that now serves as the community hall. While Oak Grove keeps things simple with local water service and a modest town hall, Highway 21 provides a direct route to nearby hubs like Berryville, Eureka Springs, and Branson for shopping, healthcare, and dining. It is a great landing spot for anyone who wants peaceful Ozark country living with easy access to surrounding towns.
