Bentonville, Arkansas is truly a unique and beautiful area! While it has hometown feel, it is still rather large. I was born and raised here and it is my favorite place in the world. With the Walmart home office being here in Bentonville, many thinks are given to our community and to our public schools. I am truly blessed to live in such a safe area!
Bentonville has developed so much in the time we have been here. We've seen a boom in housing, retail, food, and services. It is a fantastic place to raise a young family. If you enjoy jogging or biking there are a ton of trails and many more in the works. I've in particular enjoyed the community center's pool, Amazeum, and Climb Bentonville. If you enjoy art there is Crystal Bridges which is an amazing facility that is family friendly but regularly offers adult events and art programs. I also feel very safe living here. There are a ton of police officers that are friendly and very forgiving unless you really messed up. They even have a service where they can request for a police officer to check in on your house when you are traveling. Unfortunately I have to move but I would move back in a heartbeat. If you are an older adult you are in luck as well because the community college offers free courses to seniors under the golden age rule.
The slogan is #thisisthatplace, it should be #bytherichfortherich. Bentonville is a wonderfully beautiful place, yet they keep wanting to pack people in at a rate that can't be sustained. No affordable childcare, waiting lists on all schools and apartments, the traffic is out of control, and housing options are non existent; there simply are no affordable options. Coupled with the fact recruiters are blowing smoke about all these "jobs" they claim are here... Bentonville is wonderful if you can be Wal Mart corporate, are just wealthy anyhow, or if you can afford to live 1.5 hours outside and drive in every day to make burgers and sack groceries for the rich. It's a shame really, I expect more from a place that claims to be so "progressive".
