Is it worth to move from Conway to Fayetteville (Little Rock: university, living in)

[elvis0288]

Hello all,

I have been living in Conway for the last year and I like it but I feel like there is so little to do on here. So I was checking about moving into Fayetteville and it shows it would be about 8% more expensive to live in Fayetteville.. is it worth to go from Conway to Fayetteville even with it been more expensive?

Thanks

Depends on what you like to do.
NWA is still small in the grand scheme of things.
Some like it, but for me it would get old pretty quick.
Might be good if you’re just looking for a new experience in the short term.

There is a lot more going on in Fayetteville than in Conway. Large SEC university vs smaller college town.

It really just depends on what your preference is. Nature, mountain biking, general cycling, are all very accessible here. Art and culture are too, although I can't really speak to how it compares to the Little Rock metro area as a whole.

All four large towns here have their own downtowns, dining, and night life aspect. Concerts and shows are probably larger and more frequent here, just based on looking around online.

If you are in your 20s, there are definitely more of your peers here.

Great post and I would agree.

I have family in Conway and a great town to raise a family. But, nwa has a lot to offer for any age person. I have several friends that have moved from the delta to nwa to retire. ( headed to the area tomorrow for a long weekend)
