It is a capital city at a manageable scale: most faculty commute 15 to 20 minutes, and the medical campus, airport, and downtown are all close together. The cost of living runs well below the national average, and a physician's salary buys considerably more house here than in most academic markets, whether in the walkable older neighborhoods near campus like the Heights and Hillcrest or the newer construction west of town. Outdoor activities abound: Pinnacle Mountain State Park is 20 minutes away, the Arkansas River Trail runs a 15-mile paved loop through the city, and Hot Springs, Lake Ouachita, and the Ouachita Mountains are all within an easy drive. The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, the Clinton Presidential Center, a resident symphony and repertory theatre, and a genuine independent restaurant scene round out the city.
