FAYETTEVILLE, ARK.
University: University of Arkansas
Tucked in the Ozark Mountains in northwest Arkansas, Fayetteville offers a wide variety of outdoor activity in the area. But even if hiking and biking aren’t your speed, there’re plenty of indoor destinations as well, from visiting the Clinton House Museum to checking out local artisans and crafts at Terra Studios to taking in a show at Theatre Squared. And all in a state where the median home price is just $121,000, meaning retirees can probably expect to find a nice house without shelling out too much of their savings.
