Bentonville

• Town in Arkansas

Current Resident: Bentonville is a wonderful family friendly town with great schools and tons of employment opportunities! It has the small town feel, with larger town amenities.
There is a lot of traffic during rush hour making commute times longer than expected at times.

Centerton

• Town in Arkansas
• 30

Current Resident: I love Centerton. It's a growing community just west of Bentonville and now is home to the Bentonville West School District. Centerton is vastly growing into a popular destination for many people wanting to live in the Bentonville area but not in Bentonville. With many restaurants, gas stations, and grocery stores you can find anything your family is needing. You are only 10 minutes from the highway so you can go to other cities in the area in a breeze.

Lowell

• Town in Arkansas

Current Resident: I moved to Lowell for a new job in Northwest Arkansas. You have a lot of choice in Lowell in terms of living situations. Lowell is both rural and urban. It is situated half in Benton County half way between Fayetteville, AR and Rogers/Bentonville, AR. The schools are rated well. Lowell is rapidly growing and will continue to grow over the next several years.

Rogers

• Town in Arkansas
• 158

Current Resident: Rogers is a really quiet place. Of course it is a smaller town compared to bigger cities, so the crime rate is less than that of a huge city. It is a well oriented family place to live in. There are several parks for the children as well as water possibly two water parks in the area which are nice, especially when the weather gets too hot. The Rogers area is not only growing in population, but in small local business as well. I currently am barely going to start having a child attend the Rogers Public School district, so I cannot apply my own opinion about them. But from those family members that do attend, I'm sure many adjustments can be made, such as less racial profiling done by some of the teachers from the High schools. I hear the elementary teachers are really great in communicating with the students as well as their parents.

Fayetteville

• Town in Arkansas
• 337

Current Resident: Beautiful college town nestled in the Ozark foothills. Great education system, booming economy, good entertainment and nightlife, outstanding trail and park system, and extremely safe. Probably the most progressive and welcoming city in Arkansas by a long shot. Truly one of the best places in America to live! And a wonderful place to move to if you are looking for a smaller town and slower pace than the big city without losing the benefits of living in a more metropolitan area.

Bryant

• Suburb of Little Rock, AR
• 65

Niche User: This area has a great small community feel. Although it is on the larger side, it still feels as if everyone is interconnected in some way! The schools are great and just keep getting better! However, at some point there needs to be consideration of building a second high school to accommodate for the growing community. When I moved her 18 years ago, it was nothing but fields, farms, a pizza hut, a gas station, and churches. Now it is a budding community with great food, shopping, and entertainment. I would definitely recommend this community to someone.

Siloam Springs

• Town in Arkansas

Niche User: I love the small-town feel of Siloam Springs and the safeness and warmth that it has. I have never been to a city where everyone is so inviting and homes are always welcome. As a student from Minnesota who attends the college there, I have found Siloam to be like a second home. Professors, faculty, and people within the community have opened up there homes and have had me over for dinner on numerous occasions. The only thing that would make Siloam better would be that it had more things to do, especially for college students. On the bright side, there's plenty of places within an hours distance to get away and go do fun things!

Conway

• Town in Arkansas
• 272

Current Resident: Conway has expanded since my first year of college in 2005. This city is very dear to me because of all the accomplishments as well as hardships I have endured while being here. I became here straight out of high school and into adulthood. This is the place where I started college, bought my first place, had my first boyfriend, as well as my first job. I even bought my first car here! My children are were born and are currently being raise here! Outside of the good things, Conway is where I had my first break up, my first termination from a job, my first hardship in life. Through all those things good and bad, Conway is home and full of opportunities for my family and I.

Cabot

• Suburb of Little Rock, AR
• 85

Nearby Resident: Cabot is a pretty good community. It has excellent schools for the fast pace growth in the youth and has a pretty large population. Cabot does lack activities with it being such a big place. It is also in need of the roads being completely redone as well as enlarged due to the amount of traffic.
Overall, Cabot is a very safe, family oriented community!

Niche User: The atmosphere of Springdale, Arkansas is one that can't be beat. As a student, I have had every opportunity needed to succeed. It is a small town, with access to big things. The education system is top notch and the people are friendly. Springdale has everything a good town needs. The population is growing and small businesses are popping up at every corner. One day, I hope to raise my children here so that they can experience the same quality of life I did.

Current Resident: Springdale is a healthy, fun, and close-knit multicultural community. I have been to multiple "movie in the park" non-profit events hosted by Springdale police officers. We have strong Hispanic and Marshallese communities within our city. The Razorback Greenway (a bike trail through our city) is beautiful and provides close access to delicious restaurants. The Shiloh Museum is a must if you would like to learn more of our once small farming town!

Greenbrier

• Town in Arkansas

Current Resident: I love the city of Greenbrier. I have lived here most of my life. I went to Greenbrier Schools K-12. After graduating college, I built a house in Greenbrier and moved back so that my son could attend Greenbrier Schools also. He is now completing 8th grade. I graduated with a BA degree in accounting and got a job at Greenbrier Schools in the administration office 8 years ago. It is a wonderful place to work. We have a new mayor who has worked hard on city improvements including receiving a grant to build a city park. Greenbrier is a wonderful city to live and raise a family.

Searcy

• Town in Arkansas

Current Resident: I've lived in Searcy my entire life. The town is big enough to constantly be meeting new people but small enough to probably see someone you know at the grocery store. Downtown Searcy has been steadily growing and has began hosting more events, like Get Down Downtown, Beats and Eats, and the New Years Eve celebration. Each of these events host both local musical talents and nationally known performers. There are 3 school districts to chose from depending on which area of town you reside in. Harding University also sits in the heart of Searcy, which attracts thousands of students worldwide. The town recently changed its decision to keep bars out of restaurants in town, so we now have a few restaurants authorized to serve alcohol, and there is also progress being made on a new shopping center that will house new national chain stores for the town like Ulta Beauty, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Hobby Lobby.
