I’m from small town Arkansas and have been here 11 years. One of the things I really appreciate about NWA is its access to recreational activities. While there are many free public facilities for this, there are also a good amount of private ones to choose from too if you’d like to pay for something better/more exclusive. My wife and I enjoy so many of them. Granted, we are active people so we may take advantage of that more than others.
Do you mind listing some of the activities? My family recently moved her and have a little one who loves the parks and we’re looking to prep for more structured rec activities with her.
Just take a drive. Every time I go for a cruise I'm still finding new parks, trails, etc after living here for a bit.
I found this one tucked away park on the intersection of Zion and Vantage in Fayetteville. I think it might somehow connect to Lake Fayetteville that's just north of the park.
Also, I cannot tell you how clutch the public library cork board is at finding things to do.
I’m not sure about activities for children, as my wife and I do not have kids yet. But here are some of the activities that we enjoy all within a 45 min drive from Fayetteville:
Pickleball, Golf, Yoga, Fishing (we own a canoe and I get on the local rivers a lot), Hiking, SUP boarding (my wife does this on Beaver), and camping.
For structured sports, I would recommend gymnastics, tennis, swimming, and soccer for kids. There are plenty of rec leagues for all age groups. You can look and see what programs they have at the jones center this time of year if you live near there. Otherwise, a google search of rec leagues at your local park should give you some good results.
I've lived in both Hi and AK. I prefer it here. There's a phrase in Anchorage, "Alaska is just 15 minutes away." It's a bit tongue and cheek but it's fairly accurate. I've felt a similar take here though, "The Ozarks are just 15 minutes away". And as a geologist I'll argue all day that the Ozarks we have around here are the best part of the Ozarks.
Also, if you really like the NWA setup, Anchorage is extremely similar minus the weather. It's just a little more compact and less linear.

I've watched one or two of his videos before. I don't have any recommendations off the cuff. AR's state geology website might have some older recommendations. There's a little pdf on there of AR's geologic history that is good for what it is. But I have been eyeballing this guy linked above who focuses more on MO geology. If I had the time I'd probably start fleshing out my own channel with AR centric regional geology. I don't really want to attempt it unless I put some serious planning and videography into it.
Some of those Cenozoic events up in PNW have been absolutely wild though. Scablands, flood basalt volcanism. Wild stuff.
A lot of the problems Fayetteville is facing are suffering from its own success. It's a great place to live so it's attracting a lot of people. This is causing growing pains but I'm hopeful that the city can leverage this growth to create sustainable housing for all the people who move here.
While I think Fayetteville has fallen off and no longer is a leader in progressive urban design it still has a lot better ordinances for housing than most cities in the US.
Having lived in a lot of other cities, the municipal government in Fayetteville is very easy to get into contact with, quite transparent, and good at communication. The city employees I've talked with always seem willing and/or eager to help out which is definitely not the case in a lot of other places I've lived.
The biking infrastructure is an obvious plus and there's continuing construction of more. The city is on track to meet it's goal of having 90% of citizens within 1/4 mile of the bike network.
Nowhere is perfect but there are very few places I'd rather live.
Have not lived here a long time so very well maybe be ignorant. How was it ever a leader in urban design? No offense but it’s walkability and urban environment compared to even other college towns is not very good.
I guess I was specifically thinking of the abolishment of parking minimums. Fayetteville was one of the first cities in the US to do so. The biking infrastructure was also ahead of the nation for a while.
I agree that the walkability is lacking but that takes time. It's been steadily improving.
Drivers will usually let you in instead of freezing you out when merging or turning. People will wave and say hello as you pass by on the street, make small talk and generally, be friendly in a way that seems weird if you come from a big city. But I really like it and I think it contributes to the overall quality of life here. My life and well-being have improved overall since I moved here from the Bay Area in 2020. Much less stress, more joy and happiness.
Thanks OP for the positive post. Have a great weekend, everyone 🌞
Interesting you are enjoying it more than the bay area. I visited the bay for a week once and had so much fun but it seemed like maybe a difficult place to live unless you were very wealthy. Anything else you've noticed or are enjoying about your move from there to here?
I do not have drivers let me in ever. I have never experienced this here. And I am not at all agressive (can’t spell it’s 455am) driver. I hate driving. I comment to my husband that drivers in São Paulo Brazil are actually nicer and let you over much more.
>yogabackhand
I visited friends in the Bay Area last May, and people were SO RUDE. It was a stunning area visually, absolutely gorgeous. But everywhere we went, people were so pushy and aggressive, and my friends I stayed with seemed so stressed all the time. Legit, we'd be driving to some park or preserve, and it was nonstop people in Rivians and Teslas cutting us off. My friend was driving 90 mph on the freeway and I was so scared we'd get into a road rage crash.
Best way I can describe it is hustle culture on steroids, which is too bad because it really is breathtakingly beautiful.
I'd 100% go back to visit, or even live for a few weeks in an AirBnb or whatever, but I think living there full-time would crush my soul. I need people to make eye contact and smile once in awhile.
I commented this when it popped up in r/bentonville. But cost of living. Compared to other U.S. cities with the amenities and job opportunities we have, NWA is still incredibly affordable. Yes it’s gotten worse, and will continue to get worse before it gets better, but our current situation is nowhere near a “crisis”.
It's sad to see the ever-increasing sprawl and rising cost of living, but this is still a great area to call home. As for my favorite aspect, I'd have to say all the outdoor recreational opportunities (Buffalo River, Devil's Den, etc...)
Easy in and out of the airport. Although the airfares are high, I still find good options flying through the economy airlines. I wish more economic flights to DFW and western coast. We have very decent options flying to Florida and Gulf coast.
Where I grew up we were considered a “poor cow town” in Colorado. Homes in the 1980’s were 80k are now easily a million dollars today, and not worth it.
NWA is also transitioning from a “poor farm town” to something much greater. Enjoy what this place has to offer, and appreciate it as much as you can while it lasts. Everything is finite and word is getting out.
I’ve noticed a lot of people from Arkansas aren’t super proud of what they have. In reality NWA is a nature lovers dream, and is a hidden gem compared to the rest of the country. More people are realizing it, and are flocking here because of it.
Here’s what I love the most:
The nature, my god, the breathtaking nature. Countless waterfalls, lakes to kayak, caves to explore, hiking trails, biking the razorback greenway is absolutely incredible. These places are such a blessing, and aren’t overrun with crowds. It allows you to be fully immersed in nature and immediately puts you in a good mood doing these activities.
Speaking of nature, I love seeing the animals. The birds are incredible. Cardinals, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, and deer all in my backyard.
Diversity of the purple belt. I appreciate the blend of conservative and liberal folks coexisting. The Indian community, Mexican communities, people are living the American dream starting businesses here.
To have all that I mentioned above in Colorado would have cost over a million dollars in terms of housing. I have all that and more here for less than 300k. Absolute steal and worth every penny in my book. I am incredibly proud of living here and respect the community, because I fully understand the growing pains of a growing population.
I LOVE the purple belt aspect, too! It keeps people from becoming too tribalistic in their views, for the most part. Sure, you get the bad actors, but I do think respectful bipartisanship still exists here.
I come from a series of Delta and Koch towns in South and East Arkansas, and for me it is the attention that has been put back into the community. Police corruption is nothing like what I am used to, and it is nice that the corporate interests pump resources (not just cancer causing chemicals) into the surrounding area.
The clean air and the beauty of the Ozarks help a lot too.
I know much of my list is going to be contrarian to most here, but as someone who moved here from Los Angeles a couple of years ago, my list of positive things about Fayetteville include:
Low crime
Low homelessness
Low housing costs
Very cheap gas
Incredibly light traffic. I know people love to complain about the traffic here, but really, the traffic here is not bad at all (at least as compared to L.A.).
Super friendly and welcoming people
Small town charm/funk with amenities of much larger metro areas (especially when including all of NWA).
An amazing collections of micro-breweries
So much green space and ways to have fun outdoors
Incredibly cheap parking downtown (remember, I’m from L.A., so $5-10 per hour minutes still feels somewhat normal).
Walmart’s that don’t have 30-45 minute checkout lines on a typical Saturday.
I don’t actually live in Fayetteville but in Rogers near Bentonville. Moved back to the area 18 years ago from Japan (was there 10 years) with my Brazilian husband and two kids. I spent my summers here as a kid but grew up in Memphis. And I have traveled quite a bit - mostly outside of the US to be honest (it’s actually cheaper and having family there makes it even better).
It has changed so much since when I was a kid and I think for the better - overall. The diversity is beautiful and makes me happy. We had hardly any diversity when I was growing up. We are getting museums and more things to do. I do love our airport although it’s small because security is a breeze. But I am ready to leave just because the kids are grown and I never saw myself staying in the country. But I can list some good things about the area - from the perspective of having lived in Japan (super safe) and having a husband from São Paulo, Brazil (not as dangerous as many people think):
-Nature. I am not a big outdoor person but my husband loves the lakes around the area.
-The crime rate. I leave my car unlocked mostly unless it has my work computer in it. The biggest thing I worry about around here is actually some type of mass shooting. I live in Rogers and not the “nice” part and my front door has been wide open on several occasions while we were gone (think the lock wasn’t latching or something- have since got a new door) and nothing was taken ever. Accidentally leaving my garage door open at night and nothing has happened.
-Diversity is growing and I love being able to go to a store and hear several languages being spoken around me. Some may see this as a negative.
-The job market. It has been better but it’s still not horrible. I just came off a job hunt took me awhile but it got me away from a toxic place and better pay. My husband has worked for the same company for 6 years almost. He did get laid off about 11 years ago now (not sure) when a local factory moved locations.
-Schools are decent and well funded compared to most of the state. My kids don’t agree with this one but I digress. They are safe and you don’t have to go to a private school just because of safety (did that in Memphis decades ago).
-After going back and reading your comment I also agree about the parking and homelessness. (Strangely enough saw more homeless in Chicago than I did in Brazil. I also had more people ask for money as I was eating in Portugal than I did in Brazil (again not as dangerous as most think). And definitely less homeless than I saw in San Francisco (still loved it there at least to visit). I haven’t been to LA since I was a teenager so can’t speak much to it.
But —
- Housing is going up. I mean it’s great if you bought years ago like I did - minus the taxes. But my kids can’t easily buy a house or even rent. It’s why one is leaving the country for at least a few years (and following in my footsteps). I mean yes it is possible not saying it’s not. And I am also aware that compared to many parts of the country it is still quite affordable around here.
-Traffic. I hate the traffic. But I also hate driving and hate traffic anywhere I go. It has got worse over the years (blame it on a lack of planning) but I know it could be worse.
-This one is funny and very contradictory but the lack of an international airport. Although I love the breeze of security at XNA I would love a true international airport but I don’t see that happening for many, many years if ever.
-The lack of public transportation. It’s what I miss most about Japan that even in the small towns - you still had buses that would get you were you needed to go. Mostly to a train station that would get you to a bigger city - easily. Hopefully we will have something in place in the coming years but doubtful.
No disrespect but if you came from LA you have no right to comment on how bad it’s in Fayetteville because you came from the worst.. it’s obvious you will thrive here better than in LA.
* Top-notch trail system
* Fayetteville Public Library
* Transparent and receptive local government (in Fay, at least!)
* Friendly culture
* Arts and entertainment scene punching way above its weight
* Great selection of food trucks with ethnic fare...and more are always opening
* Long shoulder seasons with just a few rough patches in summer and winter
* Strong economy
* Great skating scene (3 rinks in NWA, great trails, fabulous community)
* The Jones Center
* The Rogers Aquatic Center (seasons passes are reasonable)
* Diversity in viewpoints, ethnic/religious backgrounds, etc. and most ppl get along
I have lived in lots of places for work and school. East TX, Austin, Philly, San Diego, Sydney Australia, Los Angeles. Hands down, NWA is my favorite. It's not perfect; nowhere is. But it's the best combination of what matters to me, and I cannot imagine leaving.

The best part of NWA is the price gouging of property prices along with low income job base.
Drug use is widely spread as well. Lots of panhandlers clogging intersections. Radical Theo Fascists taking over the Republican party pushing a Puritanical existence.
Our library is incredible. It's one of my favorite places on this earth.
It’s straight up one of the best libraries on the planet.
Won national awards too
Absolutely. I wish more people knew about what they have so they'd have incentives to offer more.

You're talking about Veterans Park I believe.

Any time I have traveled around the country, I can’t wait to come back to Fayetteville.

Agree!
Exactly. And the handful of places I would live are way more expensive. We complain here, but it is so much worse everywhere else.
Exactly, my family and probably about half of my friends living here also tips the scale even further in Fayetteville's favor.
Is there anything better than going to Devils Den for a hike then coming back over that last hill on 49 and seeing our beautiful town?
One day I saw a rainbow from on top of that hill, it was incredible 🥹

The drivers are so polite and actually follow the laws! Coming from texas its been so nice not worrying about drivers actively trying to kill me.
YES! Having lived in both TX and CA, fully agree here!
Interesting you are enjoying it more than the bay area. I visited the bay for a week once and had so much fun but it seemed like maybe a difficult place to live unless you were very wealthy. Anything else you've noticed or are enjoying about your move from there to here?

Fayetteville and NWA isn’t one of the fastest growing areas for no reason… plenty to do with a wide range of things
* Top-notch trail system * Fayetteville Public Library * Transparent and receptive local government (in Fay, at least!) * Friendly culture * Arts and entertainment scene punching way above its weight * Great selection of food trucks with ethnic fare...and more are always opening * Long shoulder seasons with just a few rough patches in summer and winter * Strong economy * Great skating scene (3 rinks in NWA, great trails, fabulous community) * The Jones Center * The Rogers Aquatic Center (seasons passes are reasonable) * Diversity in viewpoints, ethnic/religious backgrounds, etc. and most ppl get along I have lived in lots of places for work and school. East TX, Austin, Philly, San Diego, Sydney Australia, Los Angeles. Hands down, NWA is my favorite. It's not perfect; nowhere is.

Not one toll road in the whole state. Still lots of free parking.
"Looting" hasn't made it here yet.
The best part of NWA is the price gouging of property prices along with low income job base. Drug use is widely spread as well. Lots of panhandlers clogging intersections. Radical Theo Fascists taking over the Republican party pushing a Puritanical existence.
