Lying on the Arkansas-Oklahoma state border and nestled in the heart of the Arkansas Ozark Mountains, the city of Fort Smith is the second-largest city in Arkansas and one of the two county seats of Sebastian County. Fort Smith began as a western frontier military post, and today attracts residents and visitors with its southern hospitality, western openness, numerous historic sites, and scenic riverfront downtown.

Fort Smith also continues to draw new residents and businesses to the area with its low cost of living and doing business. Forbes recently named Fort Smith as the number one city in America for cost of living based on the cost of housing, utilities, transportation, and other expenditures. The magazine also ranked the city sixth in America for lowest cost of doing business, based on cost of labor, energy, taxes, and office space.

In 2005 the Village Apartment complex closed and soon reopened as Parkside Crossing Apartments. However business declined as soon as Parkside opened which led to the closing of the complex for good. It sat empty for a couple years and even caught on fire once around the early 2010’s. No future is currently known for the complex.
