Farmington has a lot of established developments within its borders.
Outdoor recreation and waterfront living along Farmington Creek
Tucked away in the rolling slopes of the Boston Mountains, Farmington is where small-town America meets the rural digs of northwest Arkansas. It’s a great place for nature lovers and people who enjoy outdoor recreation while offering easy access to nearby Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas. The city’s population doubled over the last two decades, from 3,600 residents in 2000 to more than 7,500 residents today — a boom that's coincided with an uptick in home construction. “People are moving here because you get a lot more space at a lower price than in Fayetteville, but you’re still really close to the city. The schools are also a factor; people really like the Farmington School District,” says Realtor Ryan Blackstone of Blackstone & Company, who has worked in real estate in northwest Arkansas since 2012.
The city of Farmington traces its history back to the early 1800s when settlers arrived to set up a grist mill along the shores of Farmington Creek. It was primarily an agricultural town and was home to one of the largest nurseries in the country, Stark Brothers Nursery, which operated from the 1890s to the 1970s. These days, the city is mostly home to service and retail shops.
Historic homes on Main Street
Because of its long history, Farmington offers homes dating back to the early and mid-20th century in addition to many newly built contemporary homes. Pockets of ranch homes built in the 1960s and 70s can be found along Main Street, while subdivisions, planned communities and luxury homes have popped around the outskirts of the city. As you head into the countryside, it’s common to see homes on large, sprawling lots with upwards of an acre of land. Home prices cross a broad spectrum, from as little as $200,000 for older ranch style homes to between $350,000 and $600,000 for new homes and upscale dwellings.
Many homes in Farmington are traditional style homes.
Older ranch homes are found within Farmington also.

Disc golf, jogs and walks at Creekside Park
The community gathers at Creekside Park, a centrally located green space that’s traversed by Farmington Creek. There, residents can walk, bike or jog along winding trails, shoot hoops at the basketball court or practice disc-throwing at the disc golf course. Outdoor enthusiasts and cyclists will enjoy the city's close proximity to Kessler Mountain Regional Park, just east of Farmington. The park encompasses 620 acres of land and includes a nature reserve with 10 miles of hiking and biking trails that crisscross rugged, wooded slopes. “Northwest Arkansas is one of the best places in the country for road and mountain biking,” Blackstone says. “Kessler Mountain is a big one, but you’ve also got the Razorback Greenway and several other parks pretty close by as well."
Farmington High School is a public high school located in Farmington, Arkansas.
Award-winning sports at Farmington High
Students can attend sought-after schools in the Farmington School District, which is rated among the top school districts in Washington County, according to Niche, an online school review site. Young students can attend either Jerry “Pop” Williams Elementary School or Bob Folsom Elementary School, both which hold B-plus ratings from Niche, while upperclassmen attend A-minus-rated Farmington Junior High School and Farmington High School, which remains unranked by Niche. Farmington High serves grades 10 through 12 and offers students an array of award-winning sports teams to participate in, including basketball, football and softball, baseball.
Briar Rose's famous cinnamon rolls make a tasty base for a breakfast sandwich too.
Bakeries and blender bars in Farmington
Locals can head down Farmington’s Main Street and find plenty of fast-food and casual dining. Briar Rose Bakery & Deli is a beloved local eatery with old-timey décor that offers an array of sweets and sandwiches, while those in mood for a frosty treat might stop by Sweet Scoops Blender Bar. Gabriela’s Mexican Grill is the place to be for traditional Central American cooking, and Simple Simon’s Pizza is a favorite for takeout. Groceries and everyday essentials can be found at Walmart, but for everything else, residents will have to head over to Fayetteville for big box stores and grocers like Lowe’s, Aldi, Target and Whole Foods.
Highway 62 runs through the center of Farmington, connecting it to Fayetteville, across I-49.
Driving down Interstate 49
Farmington is about 3 miles from Interstate 49, a major regional freeway that gets residents where they need to go. It’s also only 6 miles from attractions in downtown Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas, one of the city’s largest employers. Residents can head the opposite direction to find small villages and towns in the countryside like Prairie Grove and Siloam Springs.
