1 nursing job in Crossett, AR

Crossett has no named neighborhoods in the sources; it reads as one small, quietly residential city of about 4,442–4,805 people rather than a map of districts. For-sale examples cluster on ordinary streets such as Pecan Street, Estate Street, Brentwood Circle, and Hancock Road, with median home values around $102,500–$105,412—an affordable whole-town tier versus national medians near $282,000–$360,000. AreaVibes calls it an established, independent community with long-term residents, a sizable renter mix, and smaller households; shopping and errands are typically planned by car.

Nurses and young professionals would be choosing the town itself, not a premium vs. starter pocket, with a roughly eight-minute typical commute.

Median home value is $105,412 (U.S. News, 2025 costs) or $102,500 (Kurby), versus national figures around $359,870 and $281,900. Median rent is $449 in U.S. News data and $600 in Kurby, versus a national rent near $1,163. Homeownership is 59.2%; AreaVibes notes a sizable renter population and smaller households. Sample addresses include 806 Pecan, 4408 Estate Street, 100 Brentwood Circle, and 1698 Hancock.

Local median household income is $41,250–$46,866, so the cheap sticker prices sit against modest local wages; an $80k–$150k nursing salary would be well above the town median.

The average commute is 7.89 minutes, about 14 minutes below the national average. About 91% of commuters drive, 0% use public transportation, 0.6% walk, and 1.4% bike.

Walkability and transit access both score 1/10 on AreaVibes; a car is needed for most trips, and shopping is described as errands you plan by driving. No hospital campuses, named routes, or parking details appear in the sources.

The only named food venue in the sources is the Crossett Farmer’s Market on Main Street, near the City Pool, tennis courts, and City Auditorium. It is covered, open year-round Monday through Saturday with no vendor setup fee, and supplies vegetable bins, water, electrical outlets, and restrooms.

No restaurants, coffee shops, dining districts, or late-night spots near clinical sites are named.

Lucas Pond is a 51-acre lake near Wiggins Cabin and Crossett High School, with fishing docks, a boat ramp for electric and battery motors, and a 2.8-mile perimeter walking trail with interpretive nature plates. Crossett City Park next to it has picnic tables, first-come pavilions, and a playground.

The Crossett RV Park sits in Felsenthal Wildlife Refuge with more than 100 campsites (water and electric), walking trails, playgrounds, picnic tables, bathhouses, and covered boat docks. AreaVibes still scores parks and recreation 1/10, calling outdoor life something you reach by planned outing rather than a dense in-town trail network.

The Wiggins Cabin Festival is held yearly at the rebuilt 1830s cabin (original burned in 2002) beside Lucas Pond, with a 5K, pageant, concert, and vendors. Centennial Park on Main Street across from City Hall has a covered pavilion, fountain, and the original fireplace of the Rose Inn Hotel and is used for festivals, weddings, and photos; the pavilion can be reserved at no charge.

Crossett City Auditorium on Main Street seats about 1,000 for concerts, recitals, and rentals. Yale Cabins—Yale forestry-school housing from 1946–1966—now sit adjacent to City Park.

Scott McCormick Sports Complex (five baseball/softball fields, six soccer fields, Little League tournaments) plus Maple Street Ballpark, Texmoore Ballpark on Parkway, and Clemmie Wimberly Ballpark on 6th Street anchor local sports; the renovated city pool adds aquatic Zumba, teen nights, and 1–6 p.m. public swim.

Sources give almost no Crossett-specific temperature or snowfall figures. Arkansas-wide, newcomers should expect hot, humid summers, milder winters that ease heating bills, strong seasonal allergies and pollen, thunderstorms, hail, and tornado-alley risk.

AreaVibes describes a peaceful, lower-activity residential setting rather than a four-season recreation calendar. The city pool (public swim 1–6 p.m. daily) is the named summer heat-beater; Lucas Pond fishing and the Felsenthal RV park cover warmer-month outdoors.

About 25% of residents are under 20 and 23% are 65-plus; median age is 41.6. Crossett High School sits near Lucas Pond and City Park. AreaVibes scores schools 5/10. Family amenities include the City Park playground, renovated zero-entry pool with slide and diving board, E.C. Crossett Youth Center, Scott McCormick Sports Complex, and practice fields at Maple Street, Texmoore on Parkway, and Clemmie Wimberly on 6th Street.

Safety texture is mixed: violent crime 5.6 per 1,000 (56% above the national 3.6) and property crime 25.1 per 1,000 (32% above 19), with a 26.4% poverty rate.

Kurby frames Crossett as a close-knit, slower-pace town of front porches where neighbors know each other and the draw is affordability—median homes near $102,500 against a median household income around $41,250. AreaVibes is cooler: livability 59 (below average; better than 30% of U.S. areas), very peaceful noise (9.8/10) and a quietly residential pace, but weak scores for shopping, walkability, transit, local economy, and parks. Statewide Arkansas voices (not Crossett-specific) pair cheap housing and outdoor access with heat, humidity, pollen, uneven schools, patchy healthcare, high poverty, and tornado risk—the honest small-town tradeoff set a relocating nurse should weigh.
