I have been living in Fayetteville for about 2 years and I love it. Hopefully you will too! I have lived all over and it is one of my favorite places. The good thing about Fayetteville is that there really isn’t any bad places and pretty much anywhere can be kid and dog friendly. Unlike other places I have lived, I don’t think there is a particular area or neighborhood to stay out of. If you are looking to rent or buy, I would just do a quick visit to make sure it is what you want.There are several other towns real close that are also nice, but a bit cheaper – Farmington, Prairie Grove, Huntsville, etc.

Good luck with move and in school. I hope you will love it here!

Live in the city. I lived in a rural area near there as a child and we had a grave in the backyard and our landlord was illiterate.
