Booming real estate market in rural Savoy
Formerly known as Ladds Mill, Savoy has historically had an understated character; only around 1,500 people live within Litteral Township – of which Savoy is part – and Savoy has always been a thinly-spread community amid the bluffs and streams of Northwest Arkansas. Recently, however, the expansion of the Fayetteville metropolitan area has led to the development of new housing in rural Savoy. Since the 1990s, a wave of construction has taken over several byroads off Route 16, transforming Savoy into an increasingly vibrant real estate market.

Ranches and country craftsman homes in Savoy
Home styles in Savoy include Tudor-influenced homes, both traditional ranches and palatial single-story residences, and Country Craftsman houses. Some of these homes are located in recent subdivisions such as the Villages of Sloanebrooke and Wedington Woods, while others are tucked away among the thickly forested side-roads. Savoy’s abundance of nature greatly contributes to its appeal as a forested exurb of Fayetteville; it’s not unusual to observe donkeys and other farm animals milling about in the backyards of one’s neighbors. Local Realtor Michael Sims says, “You can enjoy the outdoors right in your own backyard on professionally landscaped lots.” Homes in Savoy vary in price from $250,000 to $900,000, reflecting both home size and recency of construction.

Savoy may have a strongly rural character, but its location offers residents easy access to both suburban and countryside conveniences and attractions. Sims says, “You’re just minutes from Fayetteville’s new middle school, shopping, dining, the University of Arkansas bus route, Lake Wedington, and Centennial Park – an active park that hosts cycling, mountain biking trails, and facilities unlike any in the region.” Western Fayetteville’s shopping scene includes a Walmart for home essentials as well as local dining options, including the Southern Food Company. This counter-serve classic serves up large portions of Southern and Tex-Mex favorites such as biscuit-and-egg breakfasts, wraps, and fried chicken. The Fayetteville retail corridor includes dozens more features, from additional restaurants to barber shops, brand-name restaurants, and retail outlets.
