Where to Live if You Work at Walmart Home Office

The campus

Where the Home Office is

Walmart's Home Office is at 1 Customer Drive, Bentonville, AR 72716. Walmart moved its headquarters there from 702 SW 8th Street in May 2025, per its SEC filing. The campus sits on roughly 350 acres east of J Street, between Central Avenue and 14th Street (Highway 102), per Walmart. All 12 office buildings were open by January 2026, per the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

That move matters if you are planning a commute. Some guides still measure to the old office. Ours are measured to 1 Customer Drive.

Drive times

Commute times to 1 Customer Drive

How we measured. We took each city's center point and ran the route to 1 Customer Drive with OpenStreetMap routing. The times assume no traffic and are rounded to the nearest 5 minutes. A weekday morning will run longer, so drive it at the hour you would actually leave.

Drive times: 71B Team estimate using OpenStreetMap routing, November 2026. Median sale price: per Redfin, for the three months ending September 2026, for the whole city. Cave Springs has few sales, so its median moves more than the others. School districts: per the Arkansas Division of Finance and Administration 2025 millage report. District lines cut across city lines, so confirm any address with the state district finder.

Farther out, Elm Springs and Tontitown are about 25 minutes, Farmington about 35, and Prairie Grove and Siloam Springs about 45, by the same estimate.

On foot and by bike

Walking and biking to the campus

Per Walmart's FAQ, the campus plan integrates biking and walking trails from the greater Bentonville community into and through the campus, and each neighborhood on campus will have bike storage, showers and changing rooms. Walmart's stated goal is for 10% of Bentonville-based Home Office associates to use alternatives such as bicycles. Check with Walmart and the city on which trail connections are open before you count on a bike commute. If you want to live where biking is part of daily life, read our Downtown Bentonville page.

Drive the route at the hour you would actually leave. Our times assume no traffic. If you can, rent for a short stretch before you buy, so you learn the drive and the neighborhood first. Confirm the school district by address. Then call the 71B Team at 479-435-5353 and we will build a short list.
