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.

Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Springdale apartments offer parking options, either outside in a common area or within a private garage.

Ask about the stipulations around the parking. Those may include how many guests are allowed and where tenants park.

Some apartments may only allow parking in front of your own unit. Guest parking may be in a common area for up to one person.

If parking is scarce, look around the area before you sign a lease. Ample street parking in a neighborhood championed for its safety is probably fine. However, it’s probably not worth signing a lease if it means battling for daily parking for you and your guests.

Research whether you need a city permit to park in the neighborhood. Look into the associated costs and what to do about visitors who need parking.

Some tenants prefer garage parking near their units. However, an open-air lot may prove cheaper.

Keep in mind that the cost of wear and tear from parking outside can add up. It may be less expensive, in the long run, to look for an apartment with garage parking.
