The Parks at Brighton - Bentonville, AR

The Parks at Brighton is an established residential neighborhood in southwest Bentonville developed by Buffington Homes. Final plat approval in 2016 created 167 buildable lots across roughly 41 acres, with construction continuing through the early 2020s. Although some active-adult directories classify the community as 55+, current property records identify homes as not age-restricted, so buyers should verify occupancy requirements before purchasing. Its strongest practical feature is the combination of a private pool, clubhouse, parks and sidewalks with access to Bentonville's broader recreation network.
