I got a job offer in Fayetteville, AR and I'm seriously considering the move. I'm coming from a small city. A few questions:
1. Which neighborhoods should I look at for a $800-1200 budget?
2. How's the commute situation?
3. Is the crime as bad as the stats suggest?
4. Any hidden costs I should know about?
Thanks in advance!

Don't sleep on Westside. It's up and coming and still affordable.

Rent tip: look for places in October-November. Prices drop and there's more availability.

I work in healthcare and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 5 months.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.
