The trail system is Bentonville's version of a waterfront — it creates a geography of desirability that is finite (you can't build more Coler Preserve) and permanent (Walton Foundation land is not being converted to development). Homes adjacent to Coler, Slaughter Pen, or the Razorback Greenway will always carry a premium over comparable homes without trail access. That's a structural, defensible real estate advantage.
