3/5 of the recommendations are in the Benton County, and I 100% agree with that. Little Rock is not a safe/good places to live in, unless you are a city person. I definitely recommend living in a smaller city in Arkansas, it is more calm, and the communities are normally better. I live in Siloam Springs, AR, which is between Springdale and Bella Vista’s size. It’s really nice here, and I have lived here my entire life. The biking and other activities around here are wonderful, and it’s a really calm and beautiful city. If you have read through all of this, I really hope that you have a good day.

I live in NWA, and it has greatly change over the few years we have been here, and the cost of living has drastically gone up. We moved from Pennsylvania because of the taxes and high cost of living there. When we arrived in Arkansas at the end of 2020 my rent was 875.00 for 2 bedrooms, it is now over 1100 for same place. Another apt we had considered was 800 as well at that time, I checked that same place the other day and it was over 1700 for 2 bedrooms plus utilities. NWA is rapidly growing (crowded) and there is a huge drug/meth problem here as well as a lot of transplants and building up everywhere (so sad). It doesn't feel as safe as when we first moved here. A lot of sketchy people here now especially Rogers. We know people are going to move where they want to move but just providing information that I thought we be good to know since I live here. We moved from a big city to be in a smaller place but looks like NWA is on a lot of peoples list and we are looking to move but not sure where, praying really hard about it and you should as well. You don't want to be in a bad situation with you and your family.

More diverse in employment, living and entertainment options. I would advise renting and getting a feel for NWA before buying.

You're absolutely right that Central Arkansas region is larger than the Northwest Arkansas region, but just comparing MSA's the difference isn't as big as you're suggesting. Census results from 2020 have the Little Rock MSA at 750,936, having grown 0.39% since 2010. The Northwest Arkansas numbers are 560,708 growing 2.56% over the last decade. If those growth numbers continue--and they have been similar for quite some time--Northwest Arkansas likely will eventually exceed the size of Central Arkansas. Probably not in my lifetime, though (I'm in my 50's).

A year late but gonna add my 2 cents worth. Crime is an issue in Little Rock but it is nowhere near as bad as some make it out to be. Crime isn't as bad as it is in Pine Bluff and nowhere near as bad as it is in Memphis. You CAN walk around the streets at night in Little Rock as long as you stay in the areas that aren't considered low income or the slums. And they have some good places to go for night life activities in Little Rock and in NLR in the Argenta District. Personally I would recommend Sherwood, AR as a good, and safe city to raise a family in. It is 8 miles or so just northeast of the LR/NLR area.

As an AR native, central AR and NWA are the places to live. South AR and eastern AR don't have much of anything. However, Magnolia just got a Whataburger and El Dorado will get one in the near future. As someone who went to college at the #1 place listed, I highly recommend #1. If not for personal circumstances, I would've stayed there after college.

And in El Dorado and Camden, you're gonna see a lot of drama and dysfunction. El Dorado is notorious for its rumor mill. Last month, we had a rumor go around about gang violence in the town square and some businesses closed out of precaution and one school postponed its prom a month. And back in 2018, we made the news (made national news in a few places after someone told Shaun King) over a false rumor about inmates supposedly being make to wear Nike shirts in their mugshot photos. It was after the Nike-Kaepernick deal. It was only a small number of inmates and some of their mugshots were taken before the Nike deal. We've also had some crime in El Dorado too. Maybe not to the level of LR or PB, but we've had some shootings and drug cases pop up. We had one of each last month involving teens.

Born in LR grew up in NE Arkansas and the best place other than the ones I mentioned is Tennessee and stay out of the big cities in any state, they are all crime riddled.

What? Conway! sorry, I have to disagree with this. Its ok but certainly not number one in the state. I call it "roundabout city'" which I despise. I lived in Little Rock for most of my life and loved it but it has gone down in recent years. Crime is a problem here and its a shame but that's the way with most metropolitan cities in the U.S. I have lived in North Little Rock (just across the Arkansas River from Little Rock) for the past 15 years and I like it but no place that I know of is without some problems. I don't think you can rank the best places to live unless you've lived there for a while. Let me say about the weather in Central Arkansas, that it gets over 100 degrees for several days in the summer and can drop below zero in the winter. Just 2-3 years age it dropped to minus 4 degrees so the only water sport I can think of in those conditions is a hot shower in the comfort of my bathroom. I love Arkansas though so give it a try!

@@cesarr5006 I know you didn't ask me, but I'm a life long Arkansas resident. I live in Bella Vista on an affordable lake front home. The video certainly got this place right. It's one of the safest in The United States. I have also lived in Hot Springs, which I am surprised didn't make the list. As far as country living, you can certainly find something here in Northwest Arkansas. Flat land, farms, hills, lakes, whatever. It's all here in this area and with a great economy. 3 of the 5 cities listed in this video are right here. Plus, I don't know if they're still doing it, but Bentonviille was offering $10,000 to move here.
