Highfill, Arkansas — Small Town, Big Position
Highfill is a thriving Benton County community that has transformed from a quiet town once known for apple orchards and a railroad stop into one of Northwest Arkansas's fastest-growing areas. As home to Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA), Highfill sits at the crossroads of regional air travel, interstate logistics, and the Bentonville-anchored economic engine that drives one of America's hottest real estate markets.
Schools Serving Highfill
Highfill is served by three school districts depending on the location of the residence: Gentry School District, Bentonville School District, and Decatur School District. Students may attend Gentry High School, Bentonville West High School, or Decatur High School. The Bentonville School District in particular is ranked among the top districts in Arkansas and continues to invest heavily in new facilities and programs as the region grows.
City Services & Utilities
The City of Highfill provides municipal water and sewer service, delivering reliable infrastructure to residents and businesses. Weekly curbside trash pickup is available with options for additional carts and bulk waste collection. While the city does not manage electric or natural gas services directly, residents and commercial tenants can choose from several local utility providers in the region.
Highfill also maintains a Volunteer Fire Department (established 1979) and has had its own Police Department since 2007. The community center, housed in the former school building, serves as a gathering point for local events and civic activity.
XNA Airport — A Regional Powerhouse
Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) is located within Highfill's city limits and is just five minutes from most properties in town. In 2025, XNA set a new passenger record with over 2.5 million passengers — a 10% increase over 2024. The airport continues to expand routes and terminal capacity, generating strong commercial demand in the surrounding corridor for hotels, fuel centers, retail, and hospitality services.
Location & Connectivity
Highfill offers direct access to Highway 264, which connects to I-49 — NWA's primary north-south interstate corridor. From Highfill, major NWA destinations are easily accessible: Walmart Home Office in Bentonville (20 minutes), Crystal Bridges Museum (25 minutes), the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville (40 minutes), and Rogers/Promenade shopping (15 minutes). The Hwy 612 bypass provides an additional east-west route connecting to the broader NWA metro.
