Northwest Arkansas · City guide

Farmington.

A small city (7,500) on Fayetteville's west side: more affordable housing than central Fayetteville, a well-regarded public school system, and an easy commute into Fayetteville or Springdale. Quietly one of the region's most practical first-house markets. Low-key, school-district-driven, improving.
