Homes for Sale in Garfield, Arkansas

Garfield is a small community in southeastern Benton County nestled near the shores of Beaver Lake. With a population of just over 600, Garfield is one of the quietest and most scenic places to buy a home near NWA — offering lake proximity, Ozark beauty, and deeply affordable housing in a setting that feels miles from the bustle of the metro while being just 20–30 minutes from Rogers.

For buyers seeking lakefront living, a vacation property, or simply an affordable home surrounded by nature, Garfield and the surrounding Beaver Lake area are worth serious consideration.

Why Buyers Choose Garfield

Beaver Lake is the main attraction. Garfield provides some of the closest residential access to the lake’s western shores and coves, with many properties offering lake views, water access, or short drives to marinas and boat launches. The 28,000-acre lake with over 480 miles of shoreline is one of the premier recreational destinations in the Ozarks.

The area’s affordability is remarkable considering its lake proximity. While lakefront properties command premium prices, homes just a short distance from the water are available at price points well below the NWA metro average. For buyers who dream of lake living but don’t have a lakefront budget, Garfield offers a practical compromise.

Real Estate & Lake Living

Garfield’s housing market includes lakefront homes, lake-view properties, wooded acreage, and affordable homes with rural character. Prices range from the $150,000s for modest homes to $500,000 and above for lakefront or premium properties. The market attracts a mix of full-time residents, retirees, vacation-home buyers, and short-term rental investors capitalizing on Beaver Lake tourism.

Recreation & Lifestyle

Life in Garfield revolves around the outdoors. Beaver Lake provides year-round boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Hobbs State Park — Arkansas’s largest state park with over 12,000 acres — borders the lake nearby and offers mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, and camping. The area is a haven for bass fishing, with Beaver Lake hosting tournaments throughout the year.
