Retirement, Razorback Style

The editors of Money magazine recently named Rogers the 10th-best place to live in the United States, and now they’ve included Fayetteville on another list – the 25 Best Places to Retire.

Fayetteville, which Money describes as “a small and manageable city,” is No. 15 on the list, which is topped by Durham, N.C. The mag also lauds the rivers that flow through the Ozarks and create “an ideal setting for hiking, fishing, photography and fall colors.”

More from the entry on Fayetteville: “Public transportation on the Fayetteville city metro, the Ozark regional buses and the University of Arkansas’ free transit system connect a wide range of destinations, including the LEED-certified Blair public library. The university offers a full spate of lifelong-learning courses for people 50 and older, including a traveling Road Scholar program, where curiosity, education and wanderlust coincide.

The arts scene in Fayetteville is centered on the Walton Arts Center, which hosts top musical acts, and the avant-garde Fayetteville Underground, where co-op artists are painting, potting and photographing the city in a new light.”
