No need to follow the rules in Salem
Just 5 miles from Benton, Salem residents enjoy all the perks of their city neighbor without having to follow its regulations. The 2,000 people who live in this small community have easy access to Benton’s shopping and dining and are free to raise chickens or build a garage without seeking a permit. “Salem is rural and suburban. There are places that have quite a bit of acreage and then there are a few subdivisions too. There’s quite a bit of everything. Very seldom do you have anything listed there,” says Marsha Fleming, a Realtor with IRealty, who’s a longtime area resident. “It’s a high-demand area because in the county there are no rules like in the city of Benton. You can build what you want where you want. If you want to have horses or cows you can do that.”
Benton offers homes in rural and suburban settings
Those considering a move to Salem will primarily find homes built from the 1970s to the present day. From ranch homes to Cape Cods, they come in all manner of styles. There are subdivisions with sidewalk-lined streets full of contemporary homes with two-car garages and grand estates on multiple acres.
The median listing price hovers around $225,000. A two-bedroom, 2-bath cottage could be found for around $150,000, while a four-bedroom, three-bath with four acres could cost $400,000. “If something comes up it will sell within days. It’s a really strong market there,” Fleming says. “People like it, so they don’t move. The older people just stay there. Why would they leave if they’ve been happy there for years? They know their neighbors and their neighbors know them.”
