Monticello Reviews
Rating 3.28 out of 5 32 reviews
I have lived in Monticello for all of my life. I really couldn’t ever see myself living anywhere else. It’s a very family friendly place. There are two different high schools to chose from, Monticello and Drew Central. Both are great schools. I attended Drew Central and my kids currently go there. We also have a college here, The University of Arkansas at Monticello. There is not much to do here but we do have some things. We have a bowling alley, a skating rink, movie theater, several Mexican restaurants including La Terraza which also has a bar for people to hang out on the weekends. We have several fast food places and other sit down restaurants. Monticello is just a good small town.
Monticello is located in the southern part of Arkansas. Monticello is the place to love if you are in the southern part of Arkansas. Monticello’s population is about 10,000 but the neighboring towns are much smaller. For a smaller scale town we have lots to do! We have a bowling alley, a movie theater, and a new skating rink that is super popular. The town also has an excellent university called University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM). I’m blessed to live in this town out of the smaller towns around us. We don’t have a ton but we definitely have a lot to offer. If you’re looking for a smaller town with wonderful people Monticello is your place. The town is diverse like many... from your riches to your rednecks... we have them all.
Officially rated a playful town, Monticello instantly feels like home, whether moving here to stay, or just visiting.
