Southridge Village Retirement Community offers the best Arkansas has to offer:  a fresh-air, natural setting in the close-knit community of Heber Springs, at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains.  The cold, clear waters of the Little Red River flow east of downtown.  Surrounding the Cleburne County town is Greers Ferry Lake - formed by the Little Red River - one of the country's cleanest and best kept lakes.

Recreation is one of the underlying foundations of the Heber Springs economy.  In addition to a number of first-class golf courses, the lake area contains 15 federally maintained parks, three national recreational trails, swimming areas, and numerous boat launching sites.  All county residents are within a 15 minute drive of the lake or the trout laden Little Red River.  Almost all of the recreation in Heber Springs is free. 

In Heber Springs winters are mild, autumn is a panorama of color, springtime is early with lovely dogwoods, azaleas and blooming red bud trees, and summer, with its long lazy days, is perfect for swimming, boating, fishing and nature walks.  The pace is relaxed and peaceful.
