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.

Residents can visit Choo Choo's Pizza, Fireworks & More for a variety of pies, which diners say are piled high with toppings. Chelle's Burger Joint is a popular food truck serving burgers and loaded fries. Residents can make the 5.5-mile drive into Rogers to visit several more popular restaurants, including Havana Tropical Grill. This casual eatery with an outdoor patio is known for its refreshing drinks and appetizer sampler. Harps Food Stores has a location in Rogers when residents need to pick up groceries.

Outdoor recreation abounds, with a Civil War battlefield for history lovers
The natural beauty in and around Avoca gives residents plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. "We have a good park with a disc golf course, and we're putting in a pickleball court. We're not far from Beaver Lake, so people can go boating and fishing on the lake," says Hansen. In addition to the disc golf course, Avoca City Park also has a playground, soccer field and picnic pavilion. Beaver Lake is a large recreational lake just southeast of town. There are several areas where residents can access the lake, including Prairie Creek Public Use Area, about 10 miles from Avoca. This public land has a boat ramp, swimming beach, volleyball courts and a fishing pier. Lost Bridge is another public-use area, about 13 miles from Avoca on the lake's north shore, offering more swimming areas and campgrounds.
