If you’re house-hunting in Northwest Arkansas, the Centerton / Bentonville pocket is one of the few places where you can still find a practical mix of new construction, neighborhood feel, and a commute that doesn’t take over your day. That’s the lane Huber Place is built for.
Huber Place is a community by XNA Developers in Centerton, AR, positioned for buyers who want move-in ready homes in a quieter setting—without giving up quick access to Bentonville’s employers, restaurants, and trail culture. If you’re comparing “close to Bentonville” options, this is the kind of neighborhood that tends to make sense on paper and in real life.

- What Huber Place is (and why it’s showing up on buyers’ shortlists)

What is Huber Place (and who is it for)?
Huber Place is a community designed around a straightforward promise: modern, move-in ready homes with quality construction, in a location that keeps Bentonville close.
From the community overview, the emphasis is on:
- Move-in ready homes with modern finishes
- Flexible floorplans (space that can actually adapt: home office, guest room, kids’ zone)
- Outdoor living
- Energy efficiency
- A true neighborhood feel (not just a collection of houses)
In plain terms: Huber Place is a fit for buyers who want new construction and want to minimize “projects” after closing—without paying the premium that often comes with being directly in the center of Bentonville.
Why Centerton + Bentonville works (day-to-day reality)
People often talk about “Centerton / Bentonville” like it’s one place. It’s not—each has a different vibe—but together they create a really livable pattern:
- Centerton tends to feel more residential: calmer streets, more space, a little more breathing room in the day.
- Bentonville is where you go when you want the cultural energy: food, events, trail access, museums, and the larger professional ecosystem.
Huber Place is specifically positioned to give you Centerton’s pace while staying minutes from Bentonville.
According to the Huber Place page, location benefits include:
Quick access to Downtown Bentonville and major area employers
- Easy drives to nearby cities like Rogers and Springdale
- “Everyday needs” shopping close by, with expanded options nearby (like Bentonville’s 8th Street Market and Rogers’ Pinnacle Hills area)
If you’re working in or around Bentonville but you don’t want your home life to feel like you live in the middle of everything, this Centerton edge is often the compromise buyers are looking for.
Schools near Huber Place (a major driver for families)
One of the clearest “why here” reasons is school access. The Huber Place page notes the community is within the Bentonville School District, and specifically lists multiple nearby options, including:
- Centerton Gamble Elementary School
- Centerton West Elementary School
- Willowbrook Elementary
- Ardis Ann Middle School
- Fulbright Junior High School
- Bright Field Middle School
- Bentonville West High School
- Bentonville High School
If schools are part of your decision matrix, this is the kind of detail that matters because it connects directly to daily logistics (drop-offs, commutes) and long-term resale dynamics.
The district’s pages are linked from the community page, including:
Centerton Gamble Elementary School and Bentonville West High School
Lifestyle: what you’re actually buying beyond the floor plan
Most buyers don’t move for countertops—they move for the life pattern. Huber Place’s positioning leans into a few “real life” factors that tend to matter in this part of NWA:
- Outdoor access: the Bentonville trail culture and nearby parks are a real quality-of-life lever, not just marketing copy.
- Culture and weekend options: Bentonville’s draw is that you can do something interesting on a random Saturday without planning a whole day around it.
- Employment stability: Northwest Arkansas has a large employer base in the region, which often supports housing demand.
The community page specifically calls out proximity and access to:
Trails and outdoor areas near Bentonville (including the broader trail system)
Weekend getaways and regional nature access

How to choose between these four (a practical way to decide)
If you’re torn, here’s a clean decision lens that matches how people actually live:
- If your priority is new construction value and simplicity, start with Peachstone.
- If you want 3 bedrooms but hate tight layouts, look hardest at Moonridge II.
- If you need 4 bedrooms and want a balanced plan, Moonridge I is the natural comparison point.
- If you want the most “no bottlenecks” daily flow with more bathrooms, Starlight is the premium option.
