Bono, AR Home for Rent

Bono, Arkansas, is a small town with a population of fewer than 5,000 residents, characterized by its rural charm and proximity to Jonesboro, located about 8 miles south. This former railroad town is experiencing growth with new construction homes and commercial developments. Older homes, including 1980s cottages and ranch-style houses from the 1970s, often come with larger lots, while new builds typically feature New Traditional architecture on smaller plots. The town's outskirts include special flood zones, necessitating flood insurance for certain properties. Bono offers a variety of outdoor activities with three city parks providing green spaces, playgrounds, and walking trails. Bono Lake, accessible via a boat ramp, is a popular spot for fishing, while Lake Frierson State Park, about 10 miles north, offers kayaking, fishing, and camping opportunities. Dining and shopping options are centered around U.S. Route 63, with local favorites like Vaughn's Pit Stop BBQ and essentials available at Dollar General. The upcoming Bono Commercial Park promises to expand these offerings. For healthcare and travel, St. Bernard’s Medical Center and Jonesboro Municipal Airport are both conveniently located within 15 miles.
