Our Take
Russellville has the advantage of a low median home price and a low flood risk, but it’s basically a car‑dependent, low‑walkability town with average schools and a relatively low median income compared to the cost of housing. If you’re okay with a car and don’t need a high‑quality school system, it can work, but if you’re looking for more amenities or higher‑quality education you’ll want to look elsewhere.
