By Lance Turner - 
6/7/2006

The Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers metropolitan area, along with Fort Smith and Texarkana, were named among the best cities for relocating families on lists compiled by Worldwide ERC and Primacy Relocation.

The Fayetteville metro ranked No. 22 on the survey's list of medium markets; Fort Smith ranked No. 41. Texarkana ranked No. 26 on the list of small markets.

The Memphis metro also made the list, ranked at No. 23 on the large markets list.

Worldwide ERC is a national association of more than 10,000 corporate and government relocation managers and those involved in real estate. Primacy Relocation is a relocation provider whose clients include U.S. companies.

The list was created with several factors in mind, including climate, elder-care and assisted living statistics, as well as cost of living, taxes, home costs and schools.

The Washington, D.C., metro topped the large cities list. Boulder, Colo., topped the list of medium cities. Athens, Ga., topped the small cities list.
