Searcy is a small city positioned about fifty miles northeast of Little Rock on Highway 67. The community is perhaps best known as the home of Harding University, a private institution which enrolls around 6,000 students and employs hundreds of locals as faculty and staff members.

On top of the numerous public parks throughout the city, locals enjoy close access to huge nature preserves like Bald Knob Refuge and Henry Gray Hurricane Lake, providing great opportunities for hiking, camping, and hunting just east of town. Rental rates in town tend to be quite affordable, with terrific options available to fit any budget or lifestyle.
