Commercial Land Along Southwest Regional Airport Boulevard

Southwest Regional Airport Boulevard, also known as Arkansas Highway 12, runs through southwest Bentonville, Arkansas (Talk Business & Politics, multiple 2025-2026 real estate transaction reports). Recent transactions along this corridor show a mix of existing commercial buildings and larger undeveloped tracts changing hands, tied to the city's continued population and employment growth.

A recent transaction highlights the value of this specific location: 701SW LLC, managed by Scott DeMott of Tontitown, purchased a commercial property at 701 S.W. Regional Airport Boulevard, Bentonville for $3.87 million, or about $327 per square foot, buying an 11,834-square-foot single-story building with five double-sided gas pumps on 1.9 acres built in 2008 (Talk Business & Politics, June 19, 2025). The purchase price per square foot suggests a valuation based on the property's income-generating potential, since the building is leased on a triple-net basis rather than owner-occupied.

Bentonville Real Estate And Tax Considerations

Acquiring land near Southwest Regional Airport Boulevard requires a clear understanding of local valuation metrics. As of July 2026, the median home sale price in Bentonville was $415,000, according to Houzeo. This figure provides a baseline for understanding the broader market context, though commercial parcels are valued differently. The current supply of 766 active listings represents 2.64 months of inventory supply as of July 2026, per Houzeo.

Beyond market dynamics, the financial obligation of ownership is governed by county assessment policies. Benton County property tax is approximately 0.6% of assessed value in 2026, as reported by Tax-Rates.org. This rate is a component of the annual holding cost for any land or building acquisition, and should be weighed against the projected income or resale value of the property. Investors should treat the 0.6% rate as a fixed, recurring cost when modeling a project along this corridor.
