Quitman AR Homes for Sale | Cleburne County Real Estate
Quick Facts
Quitman, Arkansas is a small Cleburne County community of approximately 800 residents, located about 50 miles north of Little Rock and 15 miles west of Heber Springs on the western shore of Greers Ferry Lake. Quitman offers extremely affordable home prices ($130,000–$230,000 for most properties), USDA-eligible financing, Greenbrier School District access for part of its area, and proximity to both Greers Ferry Lake recreation and I-40 via Highway 25 South — making it an emerging destination for buyers seeking maximum value in Central Arkansas.
Why Buyers Are Looking at Quitman AR
Quitman sits at a geographic sweet spot that few people outside of Arkansas know about: it’s close enough to Greers Ferry Lake to attract recreation-oriented buyers, served by strong school districts, and priced significantly below comparable Faulkner County communities. As Conway and Greenbrier prices have risen over the past several years, Quitman has emerged as a value alternative for buyers who want good schools, rural character, and outdoor access without paying Greenbrier prices.
