Parks, UA and entertainment steps away
On any weekday, Asbell residents can visit the local café at the edge of the community, Bolder Coffee, after dropping off their children at the neighborhood elementary. Bound by major roadways, the area sits a few miles from the University of Arkansas and Fayetteville's downtown square. "Out of the nearby neighborhoods, Asbell is the most affordable for single-family homes, paired with proximity to all things Fayetteville. The area is very walkable to the University of Arkansas for sporting events," says Adam Flemming, a Fayetteville resident and Realtor with Keller Williams Market Pro Realty. "It's also unique because of the location. It's east of I-49, so it is easier to get to everything," Flemming says. He also says that although the community is primarily residential, the nearby areas are seeing considerable investments in housing and new restaurants. The northern section of the community is dedicated to the University of Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.

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.
