TL;DR: 1715 N Garland Avenue in Fayetteville, offered at $750,000, gives a builder or developer a position beside a recent rezoning. Its own entitlements are to be verified with the City of Fayetteville. Cameron Torabi, Principal Broker, Mason Capital Group Real Estate Investment & Trust, explains the path and takes development calls at 479-925-3333.
What does the listing say can be built or done at 1715 N Garland Avenue?
The listing describes the property as a 1916-built home with an accompanying one-bedroom garage apartment on a 0.47-acre lot, and it positions the site by its corridor. It does not describe the property as a development site.
The current zoning is RSF-4, per the listing. The developer case the listing makes is positional: the property sits within a corridor that the listing says is demonstrating clear momentum toward higher-density entitlement.
The strongest evidence is next door. The listing reports that the directly adjacent 2.10-acre parcel at 1705 N Garland was rezoned by the Fayetteville City Council in May 2026 from RSF-4 to RI-U, opening the door to cottage-style cluster housing of up to 30 structures. That is a precedent for the corridor, not an approval for this lot. Buyers should verify entitlement specifics directly with the City of Fayetteville; every entitlement question for 1715 N Garland is the city's to answer.
Which projects around the site matter to a developer?
The listing names three groups of activity near the property:
- The Meadow Valley Trail student housing development: 630 bedrooms across 273 units, approved December 2025 and slated for 2026 construction near the W. Elm Street and Garland intersection.
- The city's Midtown Corridor Project, connecting Garland Avenue to the Razorback Greenway.
- The broader Highway 112 widening and improvement program now underway.
Behind these, the listing cites a University of Arkansas enrollment of a record 34,175 students this past fall. The existing improvements add a practical point: the home and garage apartment are in place, so a buyer can hold the property as it stands while pursuing any city conversation.

What is the development path step by step?
The path begins with the city and ends with a decision about price, and the order below keeps cost low. This is a planning outline, not legal or engineering advice.
- Confirm current zoning and permitted uses with the City of Fayetteville.
- Ask the city how the 1705 N Garland rezoning was handled and whether it informs this lot.
- Order a survey and review utilities, flood status and access.
- Inspect the 1916 home and the garage apartment to decide whether to keep, adapt or remove them.
- Build a feasibility budget and test it against the $750,000 asking price.
- Consult your attorney and tax advisor, then make an offer with appropriate contingencies.
