Moving from Virginia to Arkansas | Central AR Relocation & Military Guide
Moving from Virginia to Arkansas
Moving from Virginia to Arkansas? NOVA Prices End Here.
Northern Virginia median home prices have crossed $600,000. Central Arkansas median is under $200,000. If you have PCS orders to LRAFB — or you’re simply done with NoVA costs — Ashley Watters can help you land in the right neighborhood.
Why Virginia Residents Are Choosing Central Arkansas
🏛️ Escape Northern Virginia Prices
NoVA, Arlington, and Fairfax County have some of the highest home prices in the nation. Military families PCSing from the Pentagon, Langley AFB, Quantico, or Fort Belvoir to Little Rock Air Force Base routinely experience sticker shock — in reverse. Central Arkansas feels like a housing market from 20 years ago.
✈️ PCS from VA Bases to LRAFB
Ashley Watters regularly works with service members PCSing from Virginia bases — Langley AFB, Pentagon, Quantico, Fort Gregg-Adams, Fort Belvoir — to Little Rock Air Force Base. She specializes in remote purchases so you can close before you arrive.
🏡 Buy a Real Home on a Military Salary
In Northern Virginia, an E-7’s BAH barely touches a townhouse. In Central Arkansas, that same BAH can cover a 3–4 bedroom home with a yard, in a top-rated school zone, with money left over. The math is undeniable.
🎖️ No Tax on Military Retirement Pay
Arkansas does not tax military retirement pay. For retired service members, this is an immediate, permanent raise — one of the strongest financial reasons to make the move.
🏡 VA Loans — $0 Down
Ashley Watters specializes in VA loan transactions. Eligible veterans and active-duty service members can purchase a home in Central Arkansas with $0 down payment and no PMI requirement.
📍 Central Location
Little Rock is within a day’s drive of 13 major cities. Central Arkansas puts you close to everything while keeping you far from the cost and chaos of metro living.
