Siloam Springs & Western Benton County

The western edge of the NWA metro along the Oklahoma border, anchored by Siloam Springs -- home to John Brown University and a growing manufacturing base along US-412. Gentry and Decatur add small-town character to this rural-suburban corridor. While more affordable and less congested than the I-49 spine, these communities are connected to the metro core by US-412 and AR-59, offering a quieter alternative within a 20-30 minute drive of Bentonville and Rogers.
