On Arkansas’ eastern border sits Lee County, spreading over 620 square miles, a place that is called home by over 10.400 people. Lee County is full of hills in the northern area and delta flat farmland in its center while the Mississippi River makes up for the eastern border between the county and the river’s namesake state. If you’re interested in enjoying the wildlife, then Lee is a good choice for you. While not being overly populated, the county offers quite a few options to spending time in nature, whether that means hiking, biking or fishing, to name a few.

The median home price in the area is a bit over $52,000, while the cost of living index is a whopping 73.2, meaning you’ll pay well below the national average for groceries, healthcare, housing, utilities, transportation and other shopping you’ll have to do.
