About Plainview

Tucked away in western Arkansas's Yell County, Plainview is a quiet, close-knit community of fewer than 500 residents. Originally founded as a bustling timber and railroad hub in the early 1900s, it has settled into a peaceful, rural rhythm near Lake Nimrod and the Ouachita National Forest. Local students attend the consolidated Two Rivers School District, while neighbors enjoy easy access to weekend fishing, scenic river views, and outdoor recreation. For anyone looking to escape city noise and enjoy a slower pace of life, Plainview offers a welcoming, unhurried place to call home.
