Oak Forrest pairs quiet streets and a leafy canopy with quick access to everything in Jonesboro. Weekdays feel easy here: coffee on the porch, a five‑minute hop to errands, and a short drive to campus performances at Arkansas State University. On weekends, neighbors head for the water, trails, and playgrounds at Craighead Forest Park, then circle back for backyard cookouts and dog walks.
Families appreciate the emphasis on learning and enrichment. Students are served by Jonesboro Public Schools, and after the bell there’s plenty to explore: concerts and touring productions at the Fowler Center, story time and makerspace programs at the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library, and plentiful youth sports around town. Everyday needs are close by, while major corridors like I‑555 keep commutes straightforward.
Healthcare and careers are strong draws, with St. Bernards Medical Center and NEA Baptist forming a robust medical corridor, and opportunities across Craighead County. The feel is friendly and unhurried—people wave from porches, runners greet each other under tall oaks, and neighborhood groups keep an eye on what matters.
