How Much Does it Cost to Live in Northwest Arkansas?-Bentonville, AR
Рет қаралды 14,514
Жыл бұрынA commonly asked question I get from people relocating to the area is: How much does it cost to live in Northwest Arkansas? Understanding the cost of living is an important factor to consider before making the move. I "nerded" out on this video a bit and had to cut it in half to not bore you to pieces lol. Theres some good info on here and I tried hitting the hot topics.

I CANNOT believe the insane prices. MOVING from TEXAS Dallas is cheaper and we literally cannot believe it.

It can be bananas, if that’s the perspective… The price of everything is going up. Or, will you accept that It’s something we can’t change individually and realize that we need to buy when we need to buy or sell when we need to sell. I’m a little confused by your comment… Where did you end up?

We live in Tampa, Florida. A dozen eggs at Publix are $7.92 per dozen and that's down from 6 months ago and 1/2 gallon of organic milk is $5.75. One pound of ground sirloin is $7. Hot dog bun packs of 8 run about $4.50 which is also the cost of your basic loaf of bread. Your sales tax in AR is high but your food prices are really cheap.
@LivinginBentonville Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your input. Yes… Items like eggs have changed quite a bit since I shot this for months ago or so when egg prices were the hot topic. My wife buys the eggs, so I have no idea how much they are now lol. Correct, I believe Florida sales tax is 2% less than Arkansas… And even more over northwest Arkansas, Benton County/Bentonville is even higher closer to 10%

Very interesting. We stopped in Bentonville on our way back home to Colorado a couple of weeks ago. I was looking at house prices (ones we could afford) and most were beyond us, but quite a few were more in our range but not all were up to snuff. We are thinking about sometime in April/May going back there to look around.

This is actually a very good and helpful video for those moving to the NWA area. Would love for someone to discuss Veteran benefits to moving to Arkansas.
@LivinginBentonville Жыл бұрын
Hey thank you… And I appreciate you letting me know what is important to you. From what I understand from a quick search, veterans moving to Arkansas can enjoy property tax exemptions, state employment preferences, education and tuition assistance, vehicle tags, as well as hunting and fishing license privileges. Some of these may vary county to county or city to city depending on which one we’re talking about. If you’re asking about veteran loan programs, those are universal across the United States based on the individual veterans eligibility. Great topic… How else might I serve?

Hey Sir, thank you very much for your input… Could you elaborate, as I am sure people would like to know how veterans are treated better in Oklahoma than in Arkansas. I don’t have much experience or knowledge to go on with that topic. so looking to you for expertise…
@mikelima7269 Жыл бұрын
@@LivinginBentonville No problem. Oklahoma has Sales tax exemption. Lower overall cost of living which is better for retired and disabled vets. Same property tax exemption for 100% disabled. But also in OK there is NO “personal property” tax, 2-3% up charge for credit card purchases, and other California style nickel and diming every where you turn like I find in Arkansas. Homes are cheaper there. Also cost of entertainment is free or much more affordable than NWA events. To each his own , if mountain biking is your life NWA is better but I would recommend any vet go to Oklahoma first because you get to keep more of what you’ve earned.

Thank you so much… I had no idea there was that much difference. Causing me to want to go do more homework on this to verify. Again, like I said, I don’t have much experience in this arena comparing down to this type of detail, but can be a value when clients are making a major move. Thank you again my friend.

Wow! Great vid, problem is, Bentonville is higher in food, entertainment including hair cuts, movies, etc. Sorry to rain on the parade, but I'm making 5 times more in SoCal than what I would make in Bentonville or NWA and paying less for transportation, food, entertainment. Rental prices currently as of May 13th, 2023 are about the same as Bentonville vs Huntington Beach- something is not right...might as well stay in SoCal for the retirement in my paycheck and enjoy the daily ocean walks to the pier.
@LivinginBentonville Жыл бұрын
No rain on this parade :)…bentonville is the most expensive town to live in NWA…common misconception is that AR is cheap to live…bentonville no…other cities nearby have a much lower cost of living. Sounds like you might be in the right place where you are my friend! I went to college in SoCal. Spent quite a bit of time at Jacks surf shop (have one of those shrink wrapped tshirts somewhere ha!), Huntington pier, BJ’s enjoying a pazookie, or a Jamba Juice. I even learned to surf on the white wash north of the pier. Thx for your input.

I wouldn't say that. If you're moving to Bentonville, sure. But Rogers Springdale and Fayetteville are very crimey, and Fayetteville is actually rated the most dangerous city in Arkansas for it's size. Tread carefully, friend.

@@LivinginBentonville maybe it did! We are at the Dutch Pantry on our way into Arkansas and it was $26 breakfast not including tax for two! Heartbreaking. Oklahomamans ans Arkansas’s shouldn’t have to suffer that outrageous price. Huge portion restaurant breakfast in HB is no more than $12/person where we make 3x’s in salary. Something needs to change with greed so the locals can feel at home instead of cheated.

That is disheartening… I don’t know if it’s necessarily greed, but more so people desiring to be away from other areas and flocking here, because of all of the amenities, mid western/southern way of life. Regardless, there’s always discussion rumbling about affordable housing and people getting priced out. It’s a real thing for sure.

Truthfully, I don’t know much about Osceola other than it’s on the complete opposite side of the state for me.
