Arkansas is a highly attractive place to live, thanks to its low cost of living, friendly residents, diverse food scenes, entertainment options, quirky offerings and stunning views. On top of these appealing amenities, The Natural State is also a prime location to land your dream career, as the state is home to thriving industries, such as tech and food and beverage production. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to relocate to the state to boost their careers. As for those looking to launch a business of their own, Arkansas offers a sturdy foundation. It boasts a strong economy, incentives for startups, grant programs and supportive communities.

Outside of business, The Natural State becomes each resident’s personal oasis. It offers four-seasons’ worth of outdoor activities, including superb mountain biking, and everyone – no matter their tastes or hobbies – can find the life they are looking for here. Actor Dawn Olivieri, for example, relocated to Mena and started a nonprofit rescuing horses. Plus, several people have chosen to raise their families here, and it’s a popular place for veterans to plant roots post-service.   

Perhaps the best thing about Arkansas? Newcomers don’t stay strangers for long. The state is home to helpful nonprofits, spirited events and friendly social groups that work to ensure new residents have countless opportunities to meet friends and become rooted in their community.
