Neighbors know one another in this small Northwest Arkansas town
As Northwest Arkansas continues to grow, many homebuyers are searching for small communities where they can avoid the commotion of a large city. One such town is located at the northern edge of the metropolitan region. "Avoca is a rural small town. We like the slower, family-oriented, friendly lifestyle," says Kathy Hansen, a town councilwoman in Avoca. "We all know each other and take care of each other." This small town in Benton County is just 5 miles north of Rogers and about 30 miles north of Fayetteville. Avoca is home to around 480 people and offers a quiet way of life just minutes from the larger cities. While there's not much in terms of business within the town, plenty of natural beauty in the surrounding area affords residents several exciting activities.
New traditional homes in subdivisions and ranch-style houses with room to spread out
Most homes in Avoca are traditional brick ranch-style houses. There is a mix of homes in rural areas and newer subdivisions throughout Avoca. Homebuyers looking for a countryside house on a large lot can find that, while those who want to be closer to their neighbors also have that option. Most houses have built-in garages on the front of the home, and hipped roofs are common on ranch-style houses. Some new traditional houses have siding on the exterior instead of brick. A three-bedroom house in a subdivision will likely cost between $250,000 and $300,000. Rural homes can cost between $350,000 and $500,000. Newer, larger houses cost as much as $700,000.
