Choose the part of Bentonville around your daily routine.

A short map distance can feel very different at commute time. Compare the actual route to work, groceries, schools, trails and the places you use every week.

Downtown and Central Bentonville

Best suited to renters who value proximity to the Square, restaurants, cultural destinations and a more walkable routine.

  • Confirm parking arrangements
  • Compare older character properties with newer mixed-use buildings

South and Southwest Bentonville

A broad search area with newer communities, retail access and connections toward Rogers and I-49.

  • Test peak-hour commute times
  • Ask whether internet, valet trash or amenity fees are mandatory

North and West Bentonville

Worth considering for trail access, quieter surroundings and routes toward Bella Vista or Centerton.

  • Compare commute convenience with rent savings

Nearby alternatives

About this directory

Directory scope: professionally managed apartment communities with a current website or leasing contact that we could verify. It may not include every duplex, townhome, income-restricted property or newly opened community. This guide does not rank or endorse properties; always verify details with the leasing office.

Beyond base rent

Compare the true monthly cost.

The lowest advertised rent is not always the lowest-cost apartment. Put every required charge into one monthly number before comparing properties.

Ask the leasing office for a written fee sheet and sample ledger, then use your expected consumption. Bentonville utility charges vary with usage and season, so a single “typical” dollar amount would be misleading.

  • Application and administrative fees
  • Security or alternative deposit requirements
  • Water, sewer, electricity and internet arrangements
  • Parking, trash, pest and package-service charges
  • Pet deposit, pet fee and recurring pet rent
  • Concession conditions and early-move-out repayment

Before you apply

A better Bentonville apartment search starts with six checks.

Tour the exact floor plan

Model units can differ in light, finishes, noise and view. Ask to see the actual unit whenever possible.

Request every recurring fee

Separate one-time move-in charges from fees that will appear on each month's ledger.

Test your commute

Drive the route during your real work hours; regional growth can make a short distance slower than expected.

Verify the listing source

Use the property's official website or confirmed leasing office before sending money or personal documents.

Read the move-out terms

Review notice deadlines, renewal rules, cleaning expectations and early-termination charges.

Compare the full year

Convert specials, fees and lease length into a twelve-month total rather than comparing only month one.

Frequently asked questions

Renting an apartment in Bentonville

What does an apartment typically cost in Bentonville?

Bentonville's 2025 Annual Action Plan cited an average monthly rent of $1,275 and reported that rentals priced from $1,000 to $1,500 made up the largest portion of the local market. Treat those figures as context: current pricing depends on floor plan, location, fees, lease length and concessions.

Which apartment fees should I ask about?

Ask about application and administrative fees, deposits, utilities, internet packages, parking, trash, pest control, pet charges and any required resident-benefit package. Request the complete fee schedule in writing.

Should I live in Bentonville or a nearby city?

Bentonville, Centerton, Rogers and Bella Vista offer different combinations of rent, commute time and amenities. Test the actual drive during your work hours, then compare required monthly costs rather than base rent alone.

How can I avoid a rental-listing scam?

Confirm the property through its official website or a known management company, verify the leasing-office phone number independently and do not send money before confirming who controls the property. Be cautious when someone will not show the unit or pressures you to pay immediately.

Take the fee checklist with you.

Use it during tours so every Bentonville apartment is compared on the same all-in basis.
