Rural Little Italy of Northwest Arkansas known for its grape production
Hidden away in the Ozark Mountains is a little slice of Italy. Tontitown is a small rural city in Northwest Arkansas with a long history. "It was originally founded over 120 years ago and was a primarily Italian community, so it's still steeped in Italian tradition," says Paula Prince, an executive broker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Journey. "It's on the outskirts of Northwest Arkansas and has a lot of industry around it. Several news organizations have rated The Northwest Arkansas metroplex as one of the top 10 places to live in the US." Italian immigrants originally came to Arkansas in the 1890s, settling in the state's southeast corner. Catholic priest Father Pietro Bandido bought a plot of land in the state's northwest corner and brought 40 families with him in 1898. After a harsh winter, the settlers had a successful harvest in the fall of 1899 and celebrated with the first Tontitown Grape Festival, a tradition that continues to this day. Modern Tontitown is a fast-growing rural area with convenient access to local major employers, highways and the city amenities of nearby Springdale.
Ranch-style houses with elbow room and new construction homes nestled together
Much of Tontitown is rural, with ranch-style homes and farmhouses dotting the countryside roads, often with large lots spread out from each other. There are several newer subdivisions with new traditional homes being built. These homes typically have brick exteriors and built-in garages. They are closer together than the homes in the countryside. Sidewalks line the streets, connecting the front yards and offering walkability through these neighborhoods. Three-bedroom homes typically cost around $300,000. Four-bedroom homes in the subdivisions cost around $500,000. Houses with more acreage can cost between $600,000 and $900,000.
Some ranches in Tontitown have quaint covered front porches.
