You should have no problem finding an apartment in Ft Smith for under 700 as most are around 400-500 for that size depending on what part of town and welcome to the fort.

nearest strip will be either centerville ar (1000ft) or sallisaw ok (1/8 mile)

maybe sometime soon we can all get together and go to one or the other once my car's finished up
