Arkansas has some beautiful country.

As long as Richard Shelby is around to send pork home to Alabama Huntsville will continue to boom.
If it stays on it’s current trajectory it’ll pass Birmingham as the biggest population center in the state.

North Arkansas has potential. Mountain View and Mountain Home area. My cousin is thinking a bout moving to Mountain Home from Horn Lake, Mississippi because crime is moving closer to the area. Him and his wife are RNs and have struggled finding places in Northwest Arkansas.
So the next best thing is in North Arkansas and both Mountain view and home have excellent recreational activities and are only two and a half hours from Northwest Arkansas.

Yeah, South Covington. Like, around the Superdome.

Depends on how you define "boom market".
If you mean a newer burgeoning, growing city with lots of jobs and new residents that will hit major-league status like these did over the last 50 years:
60s-- Houston, Dallas, Atlanta
70s -- Miami, Tampa, San Antonio
80s -- Charlotte, Orlando
90s -- Jacksonville, Nashville
00s/10s -- Raleigh/Durham, Austin
not too sure there will be one. Possibly Louisville; don't see the Hampton Roads area of Virginia going that way, certainly not Knoxville, Huntsville or Birmingham. Not Shreveport, and nowhere in Arkansas, Mississippi, or South Carolina.
Now if you are talking a booming, medium-sized city with a lot of growth that will not rise to the level of a major league city, I would include Knoxville and Huntsville, as well as NW Arkansas. Maybe some places in SW Florida around Ft. Myers, Naples, etc.

Florence/Muscle Shoals Alabama: About an hour from Huntsville, 2.5 hours from Memphis, 2 hours from Nashville, 2 hours from Birmingham.
Great/Cool music history, banks of the Tennessee River, university town. Place is primed for a boom whenever Huntsville & Franklin start approaching Austin levels.

Most of the places listed in this thread are totally outlandish if we're considering "boom market" to resemble Austin or Nashville in the current day. Knoxville and NWA are probably the best guesses that I've seen so far, but I don't see either of those even approaching Austin or Nashville (or Raleigh, Atlanta, etc.).
Richmond, VA is at least halfway there if you compare it to how it was 15 years ago, but I still don't see it reaching the levels of the cities above.

Somewhere in the Delta. Hold a gun to my head and make me choose and I'll say Clarksdale. Checks all the social justice opportunity boxes for hipsters, soyboys, and cucks alike.

We almost moved the Huntsville area. Found a place east if town, old Southern style home, a few acres, barn, pasture for horses. Beautiful place. Things did not work out. But all is well as I went back to school here.
