Russellville is on the wrong side of the state for rice fields.
It's a fine place to raise a family. It's not a large city. There are not alot of low income non-working people living in that part of the state. Not alot of crime.
Really, the only thing you have to worry about is the Nuclear Power Plant up the road.
It is just a bunch of rolling hills. To the north of you there are some nice twisty roads to drive on and to the south are some nice lakes...within 1 or 2 hrs driving time.
