Where did you get your information from? A Cracker Jack box?😂

I'm trying to move to Benton Arkansas. It's a nice place i visited in Arkansas

These housing prices are way off from what they are now. I live in Cave Springs 2000sf 3 bed home is $500k+ at the moment. Inflation hit the area hard so be sure to do a lot of research on affordable housing options.

Um yeah it’s called Zillow

[@jonathanlopez9704]

As someone who lives in Arkansas, the Little Rock one was not correct at all🤣

[@teriwasson7464]

Searcy is a great small city to live in. Wish we would have made your top 20.

[@ScienceWinsEveryTime]

What are your favorite things about it?

[@lunatik0311]

I visited Searcy awhile back and omg the mosquitoes 🦟 were relentless and get you through your clothes!

[@garygrow8373]

@@lunatik0311 While Arkansas has many good things going for it, the heat, humidity, mosquitoes and chiggers were enough for me to leave.

There were these two fellars standin' on a bridge, a-goin' to the bathroom. One fellar said, "The water's cold" and the other fellar said, "The water's deep". I believe one fella come from Arkansas. Get it?

My birthplace was Jackson county which is 90% farm land... my go to for entertainment was Jonesboro. NEA is a farming community but Jonesboro has alot to offer. Movies, Restaurants, Concerts, and it's the home of Arkansas State University (A-state). I myself attended University of Central AR in Conway. Conway does have one of the lowest crime rates but the cost of living has blown up over the last 20yrs as the size of the town has grown. Conway is home to 3 colleges, UCA, Henderson and Central Baptist College. Little Rock is the absolute worst place i would suggest living. A large portion of the city is crime infested, traffic is awful and the constant road construction only makes it 100x worse... It does have educational benefits With 3 branch schools of University of AR. . .UALR, UAMS And UAPTC. Lots of entertainment options. Great place to visit but you couldn't pay me enough to ever want to live there..... Bentonville might have the 1st Walmart but thats not where the Walton family got their start..... Waltons 5 and dime in Newport AR was the 1st store owned by Waltons. He proposed opening the first Walmart there and the town turned him down. Newport is a little anti-Walmart because Walmart was popping up super centers all over the state and Newport wouldn't even approve it in the mid 80s... there was a small Wal-Mart in a rental building attached to the "Village Mall". Walmart did build their own building in the late 80s but Newport refused the super-store so it was only a "discount mart"..... Newport finally agreed to upgrading to a Walmart plus grocery around 2014 at which time the town was dying due to interstate bypassing the town between the big Searcy and Jonesboro.... I have family in Newport but in another generation I feel like the only ones left there will be my cousin who owns several acres of rice/wheat/soy bean fields.

House prices are higher now. Many places mentioned are in N W Arkansas. Springdale is now probably the lessor choice.

[@mikebote6675]

Siloam Springs : CIL UMM Springs (?) this guy has never been to these places! Try pronouncing it correctly ... Sigh - Loam Springs. Why would anyone put Little Rock on this list when there are so many other great choices in my home state.

[@debbiestevens5490]

The prices that are listed here are way low!

[@wendellmoore4179]

If you move from a democratic state and you're moving from the crap you voted in leave those ways there or don't move to Arkansas cause we like our state the way it is

Newton County is Beautiful and serene. people are just so down to earth ,love it

[@Librafidelity]

Newton county Arkansas is beautiful and serene. It has the most national forest than any other county. It's rural, which comes with a lack of frugality tho.. The people are friendly. But it could be hostile towards outsiders, being adjoined the next county over to the most racist city in Arkansas, Harrison. It's also clannish, and the school, your family and workplace is difficult to fit in, and it isn't open to new ideas or change there with its narrow-minded along with its parsimonious ways. Lifestyles are carefree you can see that in the driving habits all over the roads and going swerving over the lines and double Yello lines and in the curves and speeding it's just fast and dangerous drivers I drive the county here and to jasper every day.

[@garygrow8373]

@@Librafidelity It takes a couple generations living there before you really fit in.

This list is ass😂😂😂😂 Jonesboro? Paragould? Nope. Not on this list for some reason. But Little Rock? Yep. On this list for some reason. Surprised they didn’t add Pine Bluff and West Memphis. This list is so backwards

[@phillipmorgan6365]

Jonesboro and Paragould are too rural. Not enough things to do there. Big name live music, or stand up comedians, sporting events, or any other mainstream entertainment events are not happening there. You have to drive to Memphis or Little Rock. That’s why the cities listed are mostly suburbs of Little Rock and Northwest Arkansas.

[@chillax593]

@@phillipmorgan6365Jonesboro to rural? It’s bigger than 18 out of the 20 cities that are listed.

[@HaroldShipley]

White Hall is WAY too close to Pine Bluff for comfort.

[@kreese316]

I'm so confused. Bentonville looks fabulous, but when you look at real estate sites, it is not affordable at all. There are very few homes less than a million other than cracker jack box condos etc.

[@user-zp6bm5hu1c]

Houses in NWA nothing under half a million and rent is extremely high.
