"Downtown" Cleveland consists of the Cleveland Post Office, the Cleveland Corner Store, the Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department, the Cleveland Community Center, and the Cleveland Cemetery, which is the final resting place for a handful of veterans from the American Civil War, as well as 20th century conflicts such as World War I and World War II.

Highway 95, which runs through Cleveland, connects the cities of Morrilton (Conway County) and Clinton (Van Buren County). The Ozark National Forest is nearby.

The main industries in Cleveland are commercial broiler chicken growers for Tyson Foods, cattle husbandry, and natural gas extraction, which is mostly performed by Southwestern Energy, as part of the Fayetteville Shale natural gas deposit.

In September 2023, property at the corner of Hwy 95 and Lentz Rd was fenced off and converted into a town park. The 1st Annual Cleveland Days Festival was held at this site on September 15 and 16 as a fundraiser for the new park.
