Springdale vs Fayetteville Arkansas for buy and hold single famil

[Diane Stinebaugh]

Hi everybody!  I have been wanting to buy a single family home in Fayetteville, AR for a number of years.  I'm finally ready and looking at houses, but the market is so hot!  What i can afford is either awful or goes fast at full price plus buyer paying closing costs.  I might have to look in Springdale, but I don't know much about Springdale, I've been watching Fayetteville.  

So I am wondering what the rental market is like in Springdale.  Are people renting?  do they stay more than a year?  I would imagine that Springdale could be a desirable location but I don't know.  any thoughts would be much appreciated!  thank you!
