NWA or Northwest Arkansas major towns of Bentonville and Fayetteville (Springdale doesn’t offer the same) offer wonderful sports (University of Arkansas Razorbacks), many touring arts at The Walton Arts Center and many great live music bar venues.. The highlight of the arts is Crystal Bridges which is one of the finest art museums in the country and always free thanks to Alice Walton. Fayetteville is a university town so it stays progressive with fun shops, lively bars, restaurants and great walking/biking trails. Eureka Springs is still about 40 minutes of winding roads away and offers a fun hippy vibe with small bars and a haunted hotel. If you’re considering relocating and want more people, you may want to look at living in Fayetteville and visiting Eureka. If you want a small town with a very cool vibe, Eureka is definitely that. I would recommend visiting in the spring or fall.
