Farmington, AR Area Guide

An accessible pastoral town nestled in the Ozarks

Commuter Rural Quiet Affordable Mountain

Resting in the valley of the Boston Mountain, a region of the Ozark Mountains, Farmington is a small city with a pastoral feel. As its name implies, Farmington started as an agricultural community. Today, the majority of businesses in town are service and retail-based, and many residents drive into Fayetteville for work as well. Dominated by open pastures and parks, Farmington is perfect for renters who want a rural experience. Like most small towns, Main Street is the heart of the town. Main Street, also known as U.S. Highway 62, houses all of Farmington’s restaurants, office buildings, stores, and other businesses. With U.S. 62 running through town, traveling to Fayetteville for work or play is easy. By living in Farmington, you’ll be less than 10 minutes away from the University of Arkansas, huge shopping centers, and more.
