While apartment hunting can be a pain, city hunting is even worse. Where to set down those roots? Ladies and Gentlemen, I present: Springdale, Arkansas, a city that bills itself as “The City With a Heart,” ‘cause it’s so full of friendly folks.
Those folks have good reason to be friendly, mind you, as Springdale weathered the recession pretty well. Its population grew and Springdalians (official term) make more money here than in most other parts of Arkansas. The credit for these small miracles may have something to do with the fact that Springdale is home to over 95 churches. Holy cow!
Actually, the experts say that at least part of the credit for both goes to Wal-Mart, whose headquarters is in now iconic Bentonville, a 25-minute drive north of Springdale. Tyson Foods is headquartered in Springdale itself. Both companies keep Springdale residents working, making money, paying rent, buying gardening equipment and Buffalo chicken nuggets like none other.
Not that rent costs an arm and a chicken leg here – it doesn’t. One of the things you’ll love about living in Springdale is that you’ll be able to save, or spend, more money. Rents start at a little over $300 a month and go up to $700 if you want to live on a golf course. Condos will run you up to $800. Springdale rentals have some pretty cool amenities, too, such as private soccer fields and free tanning facilities.
The application fees at most apartment complexes are $35 to $50 per person. Security deposits are inexpensive compared to larger cities. If you have a pet, plan on paying an additional deposit, which may or may not be refundable. Many complexes charge pet owners extra monthly rent as well. If you’re looking for a shorter-term arrangement, you’ll be happy to know that the 6-month lease is common in Springdale. View Springdale City Guide
