Current Resident: What I like about Bethel Heights is that its one of the safest place through out Northwest Arkansas. Crime rate is super low. Not to mention people are friendly and kind.One thing I would change would be the lack diversity. I would love to see different cultures come together in this part of town.

Alexander

• Suburb of Little Rock, AR
• 7 reviews

Current Resident: I live in an extremely rural area. My parents chose to move us to this area because this is where we found our dream house. Overall, Alexander is a good place to live. I can see deer in my backyard every morning, and we have an abundance of nature all around us. However, the views and opinions of people that live here are more conservative than I would like. It's a very church-based town.

Springdale

• Town in Arkansas
• 185 reviews

Current Resident: Springdale is a city in Northwest Arkansas. It is one of the fastest growing cities in the region. Springdale has great people, amazing companies and teachers that want to see you succeed. I have had many experiences in this city. For example, I’ve experienced going to different schools and each teacher helps you with everything. They never want to see you fail and they are always by your side. They make sure to help you with anything. Springdale has been growing but you still know most of the people because many people are united in this city. An example is the high school football and soccer games. The stadium always gets packed. Downtown Springdale used to look like an old place but I love how they remodeled it. You now see people posting pictures of downtown Springdale on social media and the bike trail is very neat. I would like Springdale to add more things for example, stores,parks and other fun things to do.

Hope

• Town in Arkansas
• 16 reviews

Former Resident: I grew up in Hope for 21 years of my life, I am currently 22. Hope is a small, quiet place to stay with a population of around 10,000 residents. Personally, I've had an overall good experience with Hope, but I had a few unfavorable experiences that involved other people; although, I am sure that occurs with in every town. Something I would like to see a change in is the quality of medical care that is present in the town. Since Hope is a smaller town with a lack of "booming" businesses, it is less likely to attract the attention of most certified and higher level professionals in all areas than larger cities. To receive better quality healthcare, many people travel to Texarkana, Tx, which is about 37 miles from Hope and is on the border of Texas and Arkansas.

North Little Rock

• Town in Arkansas
• 159 reviews

Current Resident: North Little Rock has been a big part on our lives. Parents and grandparents have lived in this area. North Little Rock is a big district to be able to say neighborhood. The neighborhoods that our family has grown with will always be home. We all have seen the area develop and change over time. Grandparents telling stories how far they walked to school before saving up for a car. The school that the grandparent graduated, the grandkids are doing the same. Our neighborhood is convenient to many things. We have a school and grocery store a block away. There is city bus stop around the corner. Within our neighborhood we have a membership that only our neighborhood can use, a lake. There is a swimming pool nearby and a fire station. I would recommend anyone to come check out the area and see how close and many things available when you need something.

Fort Smith

• Town in Arkansas
• 254 reviews

Current Resident: Fort Smith is a small town but it is unique than other cities in Arkansas. What makes Fort Smith special is the old buildings located downtown. There are murals on theses buildings which gives downtown Fort Smith a beautiful look. Many teens and adults like to go to these murals to take pictures. There are many restaurants and different people you can find they are like you. When I moved here I didn't expect to find people from California to move here but turns out many live here because it is affordable and safer. The houses here compared to the houses in California was more than a thousand dollars cheaper. There is a bunch of safety enforced here that not a lot of crime happens.
The public schools are well, I've gone to elementary to high school in Fort Smith and it provides the best teachers and ways to interact with real-world situations.
Overall Fort Smith contains beautiful scenery and amazing people which makes this town a calm place.

Rogers

• Town in Arkansas
• 181 reviews

Current Resident: Rogers is a very family-friendly city, whose population is steadily increasing along with the real estate market. Neighboring cities are growing due to the increased attraction to the expanding area, putting Rogers on the map. The only downside is the lack of entertainment and attractions. As Northwest Arkansas continues to grow, I'm sure this will change. The Walmart Amp and Top Golf (currently being built) are expected to increase attraction to the area. However, Rogers is a very safe and sturdy environment, great for starting families and careers.

Siloam Springs

• Town in Arkansas
• 48 reviews

Current Resident: It's a great place to be! There are a lot of job opportunities and since it's a smallish town, everyone feels close. It has a small town kind of feel even though there are lots of stores and shopping. Siloam is very close to the bigger cities, simplifying shopping. The school system is a bit weird because there is one high school, one 7th-8th grade school, 5th-6th grade school, one 3rd-4th grade school, one 1st-2nd grade school and a kindergarten. Down town Siloam is really and pretty and a great place to hang out.

Boyle Park

• Neighborhood in Little Rock, AR
• 26 reviews

Niche User: It's an older neighborhood, so many of the residents are also older. There's a diverse population of elderly, blacks, whites, Asians, families, and kids. Everyone looks out for everyone else and helps each other with yard work, snow removal, etc. It's a rare benefit to have such a tight knit community of people. As the neighborhood grows, I can see younger families moving here.
