Fayetteville, Arkansas
Money Magazine voted Fayetteville one of the Best Places to Live in America because of the quality of life. Fayetteville enjoys 218 days of sunshine a year and its unique position in the heart of the Ozark Mountains afford the citizens the luxury of four distinct and definitive seasons including spring with blooming magnolias, warm summers, crisp autumns with golden foliage and chilly winters with an occasional snow.
The city’s estimated population of 62,000 enjoys musicals, ballets, operas and Broadway shows at the Walton Arts Center as well as movie theaters and restaurants. Dickson Street, Fayetteville’s place “to see and be seen,” is a colorful street filled with clubs, boutiques and art galleries and popular with the university crowd. Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park offers an unmatched view of the Civil War and its effect on the people of the area.
The nearby Boston Mountains of the Ozarks is largest area of highlands between the Appalachians and the Rockies. Rugged terrain eroded by water from springs and run off make the limestone bluffs some of the area’s most spectacular scenery. The Buffalo National River, less than two hours away, will give you a challenging opportunity for white-water rafting. Horseback riding, hiking and backpacking, fishing, boating and swimming are also favorite pastimes of both Arkansas residents and visitors.
