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.
Fayetteville is an awesome town! My mom and I will have lived here for 10 years in August, and it has been an amazing experience. We have both met some very awesome people and have discovered a lot of fun things to do. Although it's mostly a college town, it is easy to find good food and entertainment in Fayetteville. Additionally, Fayetteville is close by a lot of other places with a lot of entertainment opportunities (Rogers, Bentonville, Branson, Tulsa) as well. The only problem with this small town is that the diversity is not very good. Fayetteville is a predominantly-white place, so I do not see a lot of people with my same skin color around. Overall, Fayetteville is and will forever remain one of the best places I will ever live.
This is the strangest place I have ever lived and I'm from New Orleans. The city services are fine, but the people are so rude and borderline delusional. It's very Christianity meets New Age and boy do they proselytize. I have had multiple people tell me they were "angels, seers, Christ's mouthpiece, and/or aliens."
Also, if you want work done here, expect to get jerked around and lied to. I have been lied to so many times here. It's like people aren't brave enough to just say what they mean, unless it's complaining about my steep driveway.
The food is AWFUL here and mediocre in the neighboring Bentonville.
Everyone talks about how "beautiful" it is here and how "there are so many outdoor experiences you can have." Maybe for 8 weeks out of the year. It rains and rains and rains in the spring. It's tick-infested and hot in the summer. The fall is really gorgeous. The winter is cold, icy, and snowy.
It is very safe, despite what the locals say.
I can't wait to move away.
