Why Live in Atkins
Access to the great outdoors draws homebuyers to Atkins, a small city in rural Pope County. “Atkins is just kind of out from everything. People do a lot of hunting, and fishing is a big part of everyday. What’s nice about Atkins is that it’s pretty centrally located to a lot of big parks,” says Realtor Richard Roberts of Mossy Oak Properties Field, Farm & Home, a native Arkansan with several years of real estate experience. The city is also close to regional employers in Russellville, such as Saint Mary’s Regional Health System and Arkansas Nuclear One, a nuclear power plant. “A lot of people move here from out of state to work at the nuclear plant,” Roberts says. But despite the influx of out-of-towners, Atkins maintains a small-town Americana vibe, with a modest downtown and a quirky annual event: Picklefest, which celebrates the city’s history as “Pickle Capital of the World.” Early 20th century cottages and Craftsman bungalows, as well as classic midcentury ranch-style homes and 2020s-era New Traditionals fill narrow avenues. Pines and post oaks shade broad, simply landscaped lawns. While the median sale price, close to $170,000, is about $50,000 below the Russellville median,
