Well, Fayetteville has done it again. What, you ask? Made the top list of places to live. Doesn’t surprise those of us in the Natural State who either went to college there, watched a game there (woo pig) or traveled there for the beauty of the Ozarks. But for the rest of the world, Fayetteville has been heralded as No. 5 on the list of Rocket Homes’ “Best Place to Raise a Family.”

 

 

The post says: 

 

“Fayetteville’s average cost of child care is lower than 90 percent of U.S. cities – and the lowest average cost on our list. Affordable child care doesn’t affect the quality of education Fayetteville kids receive, either. The city’s school ratings rank in the top 1 percent of the country. The school districts and affordability are just some of the reasons the city has been one of U.S. News & World Report’s top 10 Best Places To Live since 2016. Other factors include the abundance of parks and the friendliness of its residents that give the area a small-town, homey vibe.”

 

 

And we agree. It’s not just the town where you attended college. It’s a forever home. We love Fayetteville!
