Asbell
New restaurant close to home
While there are few retail or dining options in the neighborhood, there is a Harps Food Store on Garland Avenue. This Arkansas-based grocery chain was founded nearly 100 years ago and has expanded into over 100 locations. A Walmart Neighborhood Market sits just beyond Interstate 49. The community is seeing recent commercial development over the last few years. "There is a new restaurant called City Park, which has an outdoor restaurant and bar that is dog and family-friendly. It's a great scene," Flemming says. "Eclectic Kitchen has an exceptional menu with oysters, fine cuisine and, cocktails and other things you won't find anywhere else. They tend to rotate the menu." Dickson Street, the city's entertainment district, awaits less than 5 miles to the east.Catching a game or visiting the fairgrounds
Two popular nearby attractions are the University's Bud Walton Arena, which opened in 1993, and Razorback Stadium, open since 1938. The Washington County Fairgrounds sits north of the community on McConnell Avenue. During August, people gather from across the region for the largest fair in the state and a craft-themed Maker Market in April. Magical Light Adventure is a popular winter holiday spectacle where locals drive their cars through an illuminating display.Students rent while residents purchase starter homes
Asbell attracts University students looking for housing close to campus and others looking for their first home. There are also a number of multifamily units and apartments available. "It's the most affordable neighborhood with cute, older homes. It's a great starter home community," Flemming says. This well-established area is filled with cottages, ranch styles and newer two-story dwellings. New Traditional houses built over the last three years are inside the Towne West subdivision. Although the area has a slight chance of flooding, most homes in the neighborhood are not at risk. Homes built during the 20th century generally list between $200,000 and $400,000, while newer houses enter the market from $350,000 to $400,000. Although the Ozark Mountains may provide insulation from severe storms, Northwest Arkansas is susceptible to tornadoes, which have affected nearby cities in recent years.Residents relax at greenspaces in and around Asbell
The community includes the Meadow Valley Trail, which connects to more of the city's extensive trail and park systems. Many use this pedestrian-friendly route for access to Agricultural Park and nearby roadways. The Lewis Soccer Complex lies near Asbell Elementary, offering over 25 acres of fields to play and picnic on. In addition to soccer, locals head here to catch a rugby match or play a game of ultimate frisbee. To the south is the Markham Hill Nature Trails, a private conservation open to the public for hiking and biking. Closer to the University awaits Wilson Park, a public spot known as city's oldest green space. The park features a unique stone landmark named Seven Points, or as it's more commonly known, the Castle. Sculptor Frank Williams created the Castle in 1981 to cover an old springhouse on the property. Wilson Park also has tennis courts, a pool, a playground and public gardens.Getting a head start on college at Fayetteville High
Asbell Elementary, which has a B-minus from Niche, opened as a 12-room school in 1962. Holt Middle accepts fifth and sixth grade students, and has a B. Woodland Junior High earns an A, providing musically inclined students with band, choir and strings classes. Fayetteville High School has an A and ranks No. 11 among the top high schools in Arkansas. The high school's early college program offers students the chance to earn dual credit from Northwest Arkansas Community College and Northwest Technical Institute.
Getting around Asbell
The community is 20 miles from Northwest Arkansas National Airport and 2 miles from the UAMS Health Family Medical Center. "They're redoing the bridge over Interstate 49 to make it easier to get off and on. Once that's done, it'll be even more convenient," says Erin Porter, a Realtor with Collier & Associates with almost a decade of selling experience. Public transit is available throughout community, and locals can reach a stop within a few blocks of home. There are several places of worship nearby, such as the Temple Shalom of Northwest Arkansas.
