All about Northwest Arkansas with Nicky Dou: Arkansas: Fayetteville

Fayetteville Arkansas is a beautiful place to call HOME! The Historic District is one of the most sought after places for buyers in the Fayetteville, Arkansas area. Property values have always remained some of the highest in Fayetteville... in fact in 2009 there were a few homes that sold for over $200/ht.sq.ft. Two of those homes that sold were projects of Mark Zweig's (an amazing architect among other things...) They both were sold before he had even finished his renovations. One went for 226/sq.ft. & the other was at 218/sq.ft. - New homes in new subdivisions can not come close to prices like these. Another home sale, on Walnut Ave. also sold for 218/sq.ft. and was not a Zweig home.

The areas that make up what is known as "The Historic District" in Fayettevile are shown in the map below. To get a current list of homes for sale in this area - email me and I can set you up to receive new listings when they become available. Some homes are even sold before they go to market and I try to stay on top of those as well so be sure to contact me if you are interested in these areas & check out our latest listing at the bottom of this blog post - it is a "relo" and a "great deal". It is located at 414 Walnut Ave. (MARKER A on Map below shows the location of this new listing).

Wilson Park is one of Northwest Arkansas' most popular parks. It is Fayetteville's first and oldest Park. Many people love hang out at Wilson Park... have birthday parties, family reunions, walk their dogs or just have a lazy stroll! Yesterday Jerry and I took Madison to Wilson Park for the first time. She loved the castle (felt like a real princess). A unique feature of Wilson Park and the castle is that "Hamstring Creek" flows underneath the castle area as well as the swimming pool to the west boundary of the park. Click here to read more about "the castle or "Point 7" - It was designed by Frank Williams in 1979.

Wilson Park is a beautiful park located in Fayetteville, close to the University of Arkansas campus and Dickson Street. The address is 675 N. Park Avenue (see map below).  In the early 1900's Wilson Park was known as "Trent Pond" and was considered the towns "swimming hole" luckily they have a real swimming pool now! During my college years at the University of Arkansas; many of my sorority sisters would take walks down to Wilson Park. It is such a beautiful place. If you live in Fayetteville - be sure to visit Wilson Park... Make it a day trip...
