Johnson, Arkansas is a quaint town that sits just north of the Ozark Mountains and the expanding city of Fayetteville. Johnson provides a vibrant, rural setting just minutes away from the University of Arkansas, but there are still plenty of amenities to enjoy in this peaceful locale.
On the east side of Johnson is where you’ll find an even spread of modern apartments and family-friendly single homes. The college population to the south has created a need for new restaurants, bars, and shops, and you’ll find plenty along Main Drive and around the Northwest Arkansas Mall. Outdoor opportunities abound in Johnson. The city is bordered to the east and west by two top-notch golf courses. Lake Fayetteville and the parks that surround it are just a short drive away as well.
Johnson is perfect for families who want to stay close to the eclectic scene in Fayetteville, or students who are looking for a more affordable escape from their nearby classes.
