About Us
Leadership Properties of Northwest Arkansas was founded in 2014 by partners Bob David and Julie Vaught. It is our mission to create distinctive and elegant residential developments in Northwest Arkansas that become the community people are longing to come home to – one that fits their active lifestyle while incorporating the natural beauty of the NWA landscape. Our two current residential development projects, Oak Tree Community in Centerton and Scissortail in Rogers, have that end goal in mind.
