Residents and visitors enjoy life in a small community surrounded by the forest and a beautiful lake. The community presents opportunities to just relax and enjoy retirement or to be as active as people would like. The air is clean and the weather temperate. There are amenities and services that exceed those in most communities of less than 2,500 population. The cost of living in the area is surprisingly low. There are places to play, to enjoy nature and to worship. Many of our current residents have moved to Fairfield Bay from metropolitan areas to find a slower pace of life in one of Arkansas’ safest and most desirable planned communities.
