    Check out medical access, you may wait for months to see a specialist. Only one level 1 adult trauma center in Arkansas. Great children’s hospital in NWA. Great place to live!

    Red places are BY FAR the most accepting places. Great video, I was offered a director position at Walmart so I have been a bit concerned about the move coming from Michigan. Thank you for providing a transparent window to the area!

    Have lived here for 34 years, while I left for a 5 year stint. This is by far the nicest region in the nation. If there's better, I'd love to see it! Weather, air, water, outdoors, distance to everything, dining, entertainment, watersports are off the hook as Beaver is the crown jewel in NWA! And what makes it all work so well, it's a red area so we have all the amenities, without the insanity the rest of the nation suffers from. So the takeaway, if you're thinking of coming, leave your blue habits behind and you'll do just fine here.

    I moved to Bentonville last April and loved it here but the housing like everything else is getting very expensive!! I'm looking to buy a house maybe in Siloam Springs, Gentry or Gravette. I don't mind the rural areas since the bigger towns are only a 15-25 mins drive.

    I currently live in Pine Bluff, AR....but I have been researching other areas in the state of Arkansas. Bentonville and Conway are top of the list for me... I have 3 children and education is very important, (PB)schools are not offering a great level of education, therefore, I'm homeschooling for educational purposes and too, Pine Bluff's crime rate is steadily increasing and I just don't want to take those chances with my kids. I understand crime is everywhere I just want a lower crime rate and that gives me peace of mind!

    I grew up in Bentonville and yes it’s a conservative state but NWA is a liberal area compared to most places in the South. There are LGBTQ communities and diversity. The way I always saw Arkansas was “live and let live”. Although there are those hateful stereotypes, that’s not the norm. Like AR passed medical marijuana bc we’ve been using it to treat ailments for decades bc there used to not be hospitals for hundreds of miles. I grew up with “nature is our medicine”, which some people perceive as hippie. We used to be anti-government, pro individual freedom, and minding your own business. There’s still a lot of that mentality with generational Arkansans.

      Their fossil water changed from gushing out odd

    I live in San Diego, if it's affordable everybody would be here, we are way overpriced here, it protects the community, sad but true. Rumor has it many high end Homes in NW AR was bought with PPP money driving prices up 25% in year, be careful, 2nd home and rental buyers made this a preferred area for those freemoney guys, don't move here a hoomer, you'll get bit.

      California has had at least two mass departures of the TEA.
      To Idaho. The latter had to raise taxes to build more social
      services. Like bigger jails and schools. The second arrivals
      from La-la Land found fewer economic choices apart from
      the potato picking season and yet another tax rate rise.
