What BestPlaces Users Say about Springdale
Springdale, Arkansas is a mid-sized city located in the northwest corner of the state. It is known for its diverse population, thriving economy, and beautiful natural surroundings. With its close proximity to major cities like Fayetteville and Bentonville, as well as its own unique charm, Springdale has become a popular choice for those looking to relocate. However, before making a decision, it's important to consider the opinions of those who have actually lived in the city. In this context, I will summarize a variety of user reviews from BestPlaces.net that share their experiences living in Springdale.
According to user "John", who has lived in Springdale for 10 years, the city has a strong sense of community and is a great place to raise a family. He says, "The people are friendly and welcoming, and there are plenty of family-friendly activities to enjoy. Plus, the cost of living is very affordable compared to other cities in the area."
On the other hand, "Sarah" has a different perspective. She moved to Springdale for a job opportunity but found the city to be lacking in diversity and cultural activities. She writes, "There's not much to do here unless you're a fan of the outdoors. As someone from a more diverse background, I didn't feel like I fit in."
In contrast, "Mike" praises the city for its economic opportunities and job growth. He says, "I moved to Springdale for work and have been pleasantly surprised by the job market. There are many opportunities for growth and the cost of living is reasonable."
But for "Emily", the cost of living in Springdale was a major downside. She writes, "Housing costs have skyrocketed in recent years and it's getting harder to find affordable options. Plus, the traffic can be a nightmare during rush hour."
Overall, the user reviews about living in Springdale are mixed, with some highlighting the strong sense of community and affordable living, while others point out the lack of diversity and high housing costs. It seems that Springdale may be a great fit for those looking for a tight-knit community and job opportunities, but may not be the best choice for those seeking a more diverse and urban lifestyle.

Living in Springdale - 3/20/2021
I have lived in Downtown Springdale for years and I regret buying a home here. My neighbor burns constantly and the city will not do anything to stop it. We have had people try to break into our cars and random people in our backyard that are apparently on drugs. The walking trail that the city brags about is dirty with trash hanging from the trees and the smell from the chicken plants downtown is terrible.

Please understand that if you are attracted by low cost housing you can find it here. Just know that it would be best to be bi-lingual.

Hospital & Doctor Quality - 9/6/2013
Been in Springdale for 12 yrs., and have had only three doctors although I also have a heart surgeon and heart specialist, dermatologist, and dentist as well. Quality of care is better than when I lived in Springfield, MA., and the G.P.'s I've had have been excellent and well-versed in the common and somewhat uncommon illnesses and diseases. Hospitals in the area have single-occupancy rooms and the coverage by nurses is excellent as well. Having been in three of the hospitals in the general area, Springdale's is the best for a less anxious stay than either Washington County's or Rogers. Have stayed in all three more than a day and was always treated well, but in Springdale the "mood" is more relaxed, but equally attentive to patient concerns. Modern tech is found w[thin each facility, and your records are conveniently saved to a database easily reached by computer. Affordable, competent, modern, friendly, and supportive-all go to make the Springdale Hospital the very best in the area.

Quality of life in Springdale, AR - 1/11/2011
Springdale affords an outstanding quality of life. It is the crossroads of Northwest Arkansas. The area is dynamic, Springdale having grown from about 38,000 population to about 68,000 since 2000. The rest of Northwest Arkansas has experienced similar growth. Three Fortune 500 (they may be Fortune 100) companies are based in the area. The main campus of the University of Arkansas is next door in Fayetteville. Housing is very affordable, and local schools are generally the best in the state. The climate presents four distinct seasons; winters are mild, spring and fall last several weeks and are delightful, and summer usually brings only a few really hot days. The crime rate is low for an area with a population of about 400,000. Sales taxes are high, but property taxes are low. In the last century, there wasn't a lot of major entertainment beyond Arkansas Razorbacks sports events. Now, however, there are performing arts centers throughout the area, two symphony orchestras are based

Beware of Northwest Arkansas - 10/15/2006
In recent years Springdale and surrounding towns have been experiencing major growing pains. Due to poor planning, the roads are narrow and bumpy and traffic is horrible. The cities in Northwest Arkansas never planned on the kind of growth we've seen. The population of northwest arkansas has exploded. Ten years ago Springdale was a town of 20k; now it's got 62k people. Hispanics have been a very large component of the growth. Springdale is home to Tyson foods as well as other large poultry processing plants such as George's and Cargill which hispanics flock to. Hispanics represent well over 20% of the population; perhaps over 30% if one factors in the illegals. There are lots of jobs in northwest arkansas but most are low paying. Real estate prices here are nowhere near the state average. You have to go east of nwa or to southern missouri to find low cost housing. Taxes are high compared to surrounding areas in order to pay for desparately needed road improvements and new schools. The

Just moved after 10 years as a resident - 10/17/2005
Springdale is a fast-growing middle-class city of 60,000 plus. The traffic conjestion is and will remain a major problem. Poor planning has left Springdale without true core residential, commercial, and industrial lines of delineation. My child attended Springdale public schools, and I found the lower levels quite good, however, Springdale High School is a disjointed venture run by bureaucrats who espose the party line (If you have had the experience of large metro schools, you know what I mean). Fayetteville, just minutes south, exudes charm, community, and central planning. Fayetteville recently had a debate at the University of Arkansas over the issue of Springdale. In the end the issue was settled -- "Springdale is that bad." For those quantitative types, I give it a 5 out of

Springdale is wonderful - 6/1/2005
Springdale is a growing city of 62,000 but still has the friendly charm of a smaller town. Tyson Foods has its world headquarters here. Springdale schools are some of the best in the state and citizens support their education. Springdale schools are opening one new elementary school a year from now until 2012. A third junior high opened in 2004. A second high school and a third middle school will open in 2005. It's a business-friendly town that is 10 miles from the University of Arkansas, 20 minutes from the world headquarters of Wal-Mart, 90 minutes to Tulsa and four hours from Kansas
