Fayetteville, AR is an amazing town to live in if you prefer a great community that is up and coming. With amazing new additions to the town, such as new parks and updating the town square, you will be able to find something new and exciting to explore while not breaking the bank! With the University in town and the Walton's helping with updating the area, you will always have new occasions to go out to the community areas, such as the town square, uptown or downtown. I will warn that as the area is starting to boom and students taking up housing, it can be hard to find a place to rent or purchase. Due to an ebb and flow to the student population though, you will be able to find a house or apartment typically mid summer. New companies are coming up to the area constantly and you will be able to find work in whatever area you prefer and the University is a great resource to get access to those opportunities. Fayetteville really is an amazing place to live and raise a family.
I moved here five years ago based on the positive reviews I saw. On the surface, Fayetteville appears to be paradise, but once the facade is lifted, you find out the people here are VERY CLIQUISH and will lie to your face. They're also abysmal drivers.
While this is a beautiful area with plenty of outdoor activities, the locals won't welcome you nor will they attempt to make friendships - fundamentally, this is a great place to be if you are a loner.
Work-wise, your options are low paying jobs with Walmart, The University of Arkansas system, Tyson, and JB Hunt - the average salary is between $30K - $40K/year for people with more than five years experience and a college degree.
Shopping-wise, Arkansas taxes EVERYTHING...even your groceries are taxed at almost 10%, and your choices are limited to Walmart, Sams, and Aldi. There is a decent Hispanic and Asian population here and a couple of ethnic grocery stores that fill in the gaps.
Your saving grace is that Tulsa is nearby.

Fayetteville is an incredible area and has plenty to offer! As it is very family-oriented, plenty to do around town, and a beautiful place all around. The community itself is a cornucopia of diversity, culture, and art! Many will visit and instantly fall in love with the area!
