OK so I'm single, late 20s, and Crime rate is something to consider -Bentonville sits at 222.7 per 100K. Homes are going for about $370,700 on average. Rent is about $1,238/month for a decent place. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. Should I be concerned? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
