I looked again and I can't seem to figure out what you found so objectionable about my post. I even said this:

Rogers would be a good choice if you can find a place that meets your criteria. Bentonville could even work, especially something in the downtown area, and commuting against the flow in the mornings.

I think you took it a little personally.

What do you all think of the Reserve at Steele Crossing in Fayetteville? Would it work?

Yes, it would. I know exactly where they are at. I-540 is still a mess, granted.. but that is the route he will travel for work. So put Reserve at Steel Crossing into Google maps and then his location to Lowell.

Thank you! In the worst traffic, how long to Lowell do you think? Mapquest only gives you the "regular" time.

My distance is different than your sons would be. It's hard to explain until you get here. You'll just have to check it out when you get here. I-540 is the main route in Bella Vista, Bentonville, Rogers, Lowell, Springdale, Fayetteville, Farmington and so on. You really sound like an over-joyed parent! We'll take good care of him.. really.

Haha, not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but I actually *am* overjoyed that has has a job upon graduation! The job market is not the best. He actually had two offers, and one was way closer to home, but this offer was much better so he took it. He is also nervous about moving to a new place so far from home, but he is way more laid back than I am so I'm sure everything will turn out fine. I'm just the nervous mom - and this is probably one of the last things I'll be doing for him before he is launched, so it's sort of bittersweet.

I wasn't being sarcastic.. just picking up on you. Steel Crossing should be fine or it will only be matter of 6-8 miles. You'll just have to see it when you get here. ( for a weekend or whatever)

Have him check out the Crowne at Razorback. Lots of young professionals and college students. That is where I lived when I moved to NWA for a job.

Thanks! Coming down for a relo trip next month, so we will have a list. So much easier nowadays with a good GPS in the cell phone!!

sdquarle - Thanks for the tip about Crowne at Razorback - the reviews say that management has changed and not for the better.

Which leads me to another question...how accurate are the reviews on apartmentratings.com anyway?

Thank you for all of the help!!
