Senior living on Beaver Lake · Rogers, Arkansas

A lake view, a dock key and neighbors who wave from the water.

Apartments and cottages on twenty-six wooded acres above the Prairie Creek arm of Beaver Lake, fifteen minutes from downtown Rogers.

Welcome to the Landing

Retire closer to the water, not further from life.

Prairie Creek Landing opened in 2008 on a piece of hillside an old dairy family had been fishing from for three generations. They sold it on one condition: keep the dock. We kept the dock, added a boathouse and a pontoon boat, and built the apartments so nearly every one of them looks at the water.

People move here for the view and stay for the company. On any given morning you'll find a coffee group on the boathouse porch, two retired engineers arguing about the best crappie bait and somebody's grandkids learning to cast off the end of the pier. We handle the meals, the housekeeping and the upkeep. The lake handles the rest.

Sample family reviews

Overheard on the boathouse porch

Dad sold his bass boat when he turned eighty and was miserable about it. Here he rides the pontoon twice a week and tells Rafael how to run it.
Melissa K.Daughter of a resident
We looked at six places in Benton County. This was the only one where a resident stopped us on the trail to say hello and then gave us a tour herself.
Ray and Judy S.Residents since 2022
Mom swims every morning in the warm pool and walks the lake loop every afternoon. Her doctor asked what changed.
Andrea P.Daughter of a resident
When I needed help after my hip, they added a few services and I never had to leave my apartment. My view didn't change one bit.
Betty L.Resident since 2015
I've lived in big cities and fancy places. Nothing beats coffee on the boathouse porch with the fog lifting off the water.
Dr. Harold W.Resident since 2019
The grandkids beg to visit. Fishing off the pier, the paddleboats, the cookies at the front desk. I'm not sure they come to see me.
Carol F.Resident since 2020
Lucía measured Mom's china cabinet and found the one cottage wall it fit on. Small thing. Huge thing.
Jeff N.Son of a resident
The Friday fish fry is the best meal in Rogers and I will not be taking questions.
Walt D.Resident since 2012

Our story

From dairy pasture to lake landing

For sixty years the Abernathy family milked cows on this hillside and fished off the same dock every Sunday afternoon. When they decided to sell, they turned down a marina developer and a subdivision. They wanted a place their friends could grow old.
