The market right now
I don't publish a monthly median for London. In a town this size, a month's sales are usually too few for a median to mean much, so I price from recent sales near the home in question.
The county numbers give the wider picture. In September 2026, 57 homes closed in Pope County at a median of $215,000. The median home took 35 days to go under contract, and sellers got about 97.8% of asking price. RPR (Realtors Property Resource) calls that a seller's market.

London is on Highway 64, about 9 miles west of Russellville and 18 miles east of Clarksville. I-40 exit 74 is the London exit. The 2020 census counted 936 people, and the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate is 1,061.
Lake Dardanelle is the draw. Piney Bay Recreation Area, a Corps of Engineers park with 68 campsites, is about 6.5 miles from town: three miles west on Highway 64, then 3.5 miles north on Highway 359.
Arkansas Nuclear One, the power plant on the lake, sits between London and Russellville.
What you give up. London is small. Groceries, the hospital and most services are in Russellville or Clarksville, and only a few homes are for sale at any one time.

District lines out in the county don't always follow the town name on the mailbox, so if a particular school matters to you, check the exact address with the district before you make an offer. I'll help you do that.
The state publishes a report card for every public school at myschoolinfo.arkansas.gov.

Can I use a USDA loan in London?
When I checked USDA's eligibility map in October 2026, London was in an area eligible for the USDA guaranteed home loan, which needs no down payment. Eligibility goes by the exact address and your household income, so look up the address on USDA's map and ask a lender. I'm a Realtor, not a lender.
