Why Colorado Residents Are Choosing Central Arkansas

⛰️ Colorado Prices Are Out of Control

Colorado Springs median home prices have exceeded $450,000 — and Denver is well over $550,000. Military families at Peterson SFB, Schriever SFB, Buckley, and Fort Carson are increasingly priced out of homeownership. Central Arkansas is where that math resets.

🏔️ Outdoor Lifestyle Transfer

Central Arkansas offers its own version of outdoor culture — hiking in the Ozarks and Ouachitas, kayaking the Buffalo National River, mountain biking at Lake Leatherwood. It’s not the Rockies, but it’s genuinely beautiful and far less crowded.

✈️ Colorado AFB → LRAFB Transfers

Peterson SFB, Schriever SFB, and USAFA are regular feeder installations for Little Rock Air Force Base. Ashley Watters handles remote purchases for Colorado-based military families — FaceTime tours, VA loan coordination, remote closing.

🎖️ 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.
