Why Live in Bentonville
Throughout the year, tourists in Virginia head to the Shenandoah Valley for its outdoor attractions, from the Shenandoah River and hilltop wineries to the Old Dominion's only national park — Shenandoah National Park. However, for Bentonville residents, this is their lifestyle full time. Sprawling properties span multiple acres, offering mountain views of the park and the Massanutten Mountain range or barns for horses. In the summers, residents head out onto the river with their friends and neighbors, because even though life is quiet, neighbors are still friendly and connected. “I’ve got a hill on my property, and at the top of the hill, you’ve got a 360-degree view of Browntown, Bentonville, Front Royal and the national park,” says Realtor Martha Buracker with Weichert Realtors and longtime resident of Browntown, another community in the area. “And when we’ve got a nice day, I send a Facebook message out to my friends saying we’re doing a wine night on the mountain. We’ll just enjoy each other’s company and enjoy the view. We catch up that way.” Bentonville has a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
