Bentonville, Arkansas: A City Where Art, Nature, and Culture Meet

Written by Schuber Mitchell Homes | Feb 13, 2026 2:00:00 PM

Have you heard? Bentonville, Arkansas makes the New York Times's 52 places to go in 2026. There were two top features that helped Bentonville earn its spot on the list: Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and its renowned mountain biking culture. As a premier homebuilder in Northwest Arkansas, we’ve watched how these pillars have shaped the city into a vibrant, culturally rich place to put down roots.

Crystal Bridges: More Than a Museum

The 200,000‑square‑foot Crystal Bridges Museum opened in 2011 and continues to evolve as a national destination. Surrounded by 120 acres of Ozark forest and gardens, the campus now includes the Heartland Whole Health Institute and the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine, which recently opened.

The Mountain Biking Capital of the World

Bentonville proudly carries its title as the Mountain Biking Capital of the World, offering nearly 70 miles of trails woven directly through the city.

As a Northwest Arkansas homebuilder, we love this culture because it means residents enjoy active lifestyles—and communities feel more connected, energized, and full of life.

Building Homes That Match Bentonville’s Energy

We design both our communities and homes for people who want to live close to the trails they ride, the museums they love, the shopping that's close by, and in the city they value. Bentonville’s unique mix of art, outdoor adventure, and innovation aligns perfectly with what we aim to deliver: beautiful, functional new construction homes that elevate everyday life.
