It may be considered a bedroom community, but that’s exactly why residents of Centerton enjoy their home so much. Many locals work outside of the city, then come home to a quiet escape from the fast-paced life of Springdale or Fayetteville. If this lifestyle sounds like something you’d enjoy, then Centerton might just be the place for you.
Centerton is pretty close-knit, meaning everyone knows everyone. It’s also safe and affordable, so it should be easy to find an apartment that checks off all of the boxes. Even with a simple way of living here, you won’t have to give up modern conveniences. You’ll be in the countryside – but you are surrounded by excellent restaurants serving up specialties like barbecue. Combined with serenity, convenience, and peace of mind, Centerton really does provide you with the best of both worlds.
There’s not much in terms of public transit, so traveling by car is going to be your best way of getting around. The size of Centerton, though, makes bike riding doable around town. Highway 102 is the main thoroughfare that cuts through the center of the city, and features many restaurants, specialty service shops, and retailers. City Hall is adjacent to Centerton City Park, which has a great playground as well as sports courts.
Before Centerton was this fast-growing city, it was a railroad stop and orchard community, growing strawberries and apples specifically. Residents who call this city home are just minutes from Crystal Bridges Museum of Art, and are about an hour north of the Ozark National Forest.
