Located on the outskirts of Rogers and Bentonville, Pea Ridge, is quickly outgrowing its rural reputation and becoming a sought-after bedroom community where folks can escape the hurry-scurry of the neighboring Arkansas cities. "Pea Ridge is a smaller community, but it's growing," says Amy Rollins, a longtime Pea Ridge resident and senior vice president of Lindsey & Associates. "When I moved here 23 years ago, there was only one mom-and-pop grocery store. Now, a Walmart Neighborhood Market has moved in. So, we have nice grocery shopping and a lot of new restaurants. But the traffic is much better here than in the larger towns, and the home prices are a little less." Though new subdivisions and convenient amenities continue to pop up around town, Pea Ridge remains a low-key place folks love to call home.

It's an everybody-knows-everybody kind of atmosphere. And all of the school facilities are really fairly new."
