Farmington sits directly against Fayetteville's western edge, close enough that the two cities' boundaries meet, yet it maintains its own city government and school district. Highway 62 and Highway 170 connect the town to Fayetteville and to Prairie Grove, with whom Farmington shares one of the area's longest-running high school football rivalries, the annual "Battle of '62." The town's population has more than doubled since 2000 as families have been drawn to Farmington School District alongside easy access to the University of Arkansas and Fayetteville's employment base. Farmington suits buyers who want a strong local school system, room for new construction, and Fayetteville-adjacent convenience without Fayetteville's density.
