Looking to relocate or make a move in the Bentonville area. Reach out to me at, 479-319-7229 or Anthony@IGNWA.com, I would to have a conversation how I can best serve you.
Don’t you just love it when you make a decision and it turns out to be the greatest thing since sliced cornbread?!?!? :) Don’t you just love it when you make a decision and it turns out to be the greatest thing since sliced corn bread? Happy for you my friend!!
We moved to Bentonville in 1974 population 5,000… 1 blinking red light.. from Salinas California, so thankful our parents made that leap, beautiful here…We still have relatives in Salinas and San Jose so we still visit..
Northwest Arkansas is really growing It’s definitely a bustling city you would think that Bentonville or Fayetteville is the capital over Little Rock. Central Arkansas is going through some issues which would be crime and job opportunities the cities that are a really great areas to live in would be Conway , Maumelle and Benton. Heads up central Arkansas belongings are locked up in some Walmarts. Maybe I need to try northwest Arkansas been hearing great things and a lot of improvements
Thank you for your input. Conway is a beautiful area…we were just there a few weeks ago at Hendrix for a state club track meet. Lots of great places in AR for sure
I don't know if you remember my comments from California. We moved, finally, to NWA in May. We love it here. But traffic is surprisingly bad. R. airport blvd and Walton are always cluttered. In that particular intersection, I see accidents at least once per week. Car registration and driving license were easy. Applying to social services for the elderly was easy. Changing my MFT license from CA to AR is difficult. Gas is 50% cheaper, and food is 15% cheaper. But the best part is utilities. Our first bill was 90% less for water, gas, and electricity combined. The restaurants are great. Nature is beautiful. Birds are so beautiful. Also, I hear that AR is not diverse. In my neighborhood probably 70% Indian population. Overall we love it here. People are friendly.
I suppose soon enough, you will learn what roads to avoid and what surface or Backstreets you can take it to still get you to your destination without sitting in “traffic”. You would have to agree….It’s nowhere near as bad as six lanes of deadlock traffic :-) I do remember your comments. Where in Arkansas did you end up?
@@LivinginBentonville - I already tried to respond but something went wrong. You may get two of them. You are right about the roads. I still drive here with a navigator. I live close to R.Airport b. and Bright. The Walton /R. Airport b. the intersection is scary. I like that drives on the road are mainly patient. When some are not, I make a joke that they are from San Jose. I love the food here. We eat out every day in a new restraint. We walk the dogs every evening and enjoy the sunset view.
Looking to move near Fayetteville in the spring from the Orlando FL suburbs. I've been here for 5 years and C-19 destroyed this area, tons of people moved here, housing skyrocketed, insurance skyrocketed, too much traffic. Cant wait to leave.
I’m sorry to hear about your dislike for your current living situation.… This might not be for you, but would you reach out to me so we can get a conversation started about your relocation here to Northwest Arkansas? Phone number is in the channel, I do believe in the pinned post, or at least at the bottom of the description of this video.
Lived here my whole life. You will absolutely love it as much as me and all the people who live here. Please remember why you left there and not try and turn it into what you left. Please
Planning on moving to Arkansas pretty soon here, not trying to bring my prior state’s mess but enjoy the new one. The only thing that scares me is the lack of meal breaks at work and no rental protection laws for raising rent.
And them making the cost of living for us in benton county go up and same wages for the ones who have lived and worked here their whole life thanks for raising our rent and mortgage payments
Thank you for your input. Truthfully, the cost of living across the whole entire United States is going up. And yes, more people moving to an area regardless of where they’re coming from is driving up prices as a desirable area will do that. Statistically speaking, there were more people from Texas that moved to Arkansas then from California in 2022. … Unfortunately, I don’t have a reliable source for Benton county data as to where people have moved here from. Thanks again for watching.
Are you talking about the t Outbreak from December 2021? I remember that happening but in north east Arkansas near Jonesboro 200 miles east of Northwest Ar. Or are you referring to a tornado outbreak in CA? We average just under 40 tornadoes a year here in AR.
@@LivinginBentonville it’s really weird though because it’s not very normal to see set ups like that in a season where it’s freezing cold and normally not warm
We want to move from Denver real bad for all the same reasons you have shown. However as real estate appraisers, we enjoy very good business and are very busy. We worry there may not be much work for appraisers in your area. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
It seems as though on my transactions, appraisers do a fairly efficient job. however, I don’t know how well that speaks to how busy they are or are not. You might give some a call here and ask them directly how busy they are. One would tend to believe with the anticipated growth in the area…there would be plenty of work when you get here :-) why not hire someone to cover your business in Colorado and open up business here?
@@LivinginBentonville Haha for the same reason you wouldn't turn over your R.E. business for someone to ruin your license while you startup in another state. Appraisals are hands on and can't really be delegated without losing control. But we will figure it out and can't wait to leave this mess here for all the same reasons folks leave Cali.
What about mega or mini churches on every other corner in Arkansas. One of my biggest concerns. Is there freedom to believe or more importantly not believing and having religion pushed in my face. Please comment on this issue
There are certainly a lot of churches in the area. Arkansas is most definitely located in an area of the country called “the Bible Belt”. However I cannot recall the last time I’ve seen or heard about someone preaching hellfire and brimstone with a megaphone anywhere. You may get asked however, “what church do you go to” versus “what do you do for a living.” “The Bible Belt studies show that Religion seems to be a stronger social norm here than other areas of the country. Does that help?
Thank you, I am actually visiting now from Los Angeles and have found the people very friendly and was pleasantly surprised of the diversity and acceptance. I’m just sensitive to religious pressures. This helps a lot, again thanks!
Just wanted to let you know I'm from Arizona. Californians have utterly destroyed my hometown let alone the state. I realize that there are plenty of good people from there who are escaping the nonsense but yet they still drag it with them where ever they go. This would be because along with the good, the bad follows right along. Be it the three strikers, people with voting habits that don't jive with the local community, congestion, crime, aggressive driving and last but not least, driving up housing prices that no local can afford. I could go on. Do everything you can to make sure any incoming Californians are well educated on how the people of your community roll. If they don't want to assimilate, encourage them to move on. Especially the smaller towns. Don't say you haven't been warned.
Good afternoon, I appreciate your input. I find it more often than not the folks that are moving here are trying to get away from that type of nonsense you had mentioned. However, my code of ethics and the integrity in which I operate my business, I cannot and will not discriminate in anyway. Not that you’re asking me to necessarily discriminate, but I do know law of attraction that like attracts like, and your vibe attracts your tribe… People can feel or sense when they are not wanted or when they are welcomed. You are not the only one who has shared this type of concern with me. But I do appreciate you watching and your input, my friend.
Just want to make a couple points. When demand exceeds Supply prices go up. I think around 1776, Adam Smith, John Locke, sir Alfred Marshall and a couple other guys gave birth to that concept- got it in motion. So I would hardly blame Californians for rising home prices. Secondly, our US Constitution and I think it's article IV and the 14th Amendment ( I'll have to recheck ) protects the rights interstate travel. Free movement. So stopping Californians at the Arkansas border, sending them to re-education camps to pass a litmus test how your community rolls, and if fail, encouraged to leave,might not bode well.
@@LivinginBentonville and I took a cursory View of all your other videos on your website! Outstanding ! You guys are doing some really good work that's a lot of work. Preciate it. I'm going to check out the one on Rogers. I live in the West End of San Bernardino County California. Hopefully in less than two years I'll be up your way. I got your number. Thanks

I moved to NWA from Bellevue WA and love it here!

I live in Eureka Springs, AR. I've lived here for 18 years. I used to live In Chicago, Il.....I love this town...
Awesome! :-) Glad you like it.
