Life in Van Buren, Arkansas
Van Buren, Arkansas is
really the tale of two cities. One a quiet town with a Victorian
Main Street and the other a fast growing suburban area with brand
new residential neighborhoods.
Historic is still the best word to describe Van
Buren. You can still spend your day strolling down historic Main
Street and stepping back in time shopping the Victorian storefronts.
You can enjoy one of the outdoor festivals and take in a performance
at the King Opera House. Van Buren is a tourist destination and
that gives residents access to adventures like the vintage excursion
train into the scenic Ozark Mountains.
But Van Buren has also enjoyed the development
of new residential neighborhoods and new commercial business district
on it's north side along Interstate 40. This area offers a wonderful
combination of new neighborhoods with easy access to commercial
services, medical services and schools.
Homes are still affordable in Crawford
County. A new homeowner can choose from suburban neighborhoods with
large lots, homes with a panoramic view of the Arkansas River and
acreage on the outer edges of the city.
