Homes in Rogers
Rogers is a city of houses: of its 28,579 homes, 65% are detached, 8% are townhouses and other attached houses and 25% are apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes.
Much of Rogers is new: 46% of homes were built 2000 or later, and only 17% before 1980. The median home dates from 1998. 57% of homes are lived in by their owners.
Of the 9 Arkansas cities we have census figures for, Rogers has some of the newest homes and the smallest share of apartments. Its housing is much like Bentonville's, 5 miles away. Nationally, Rogers's homes are newer than those in 88% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Shallow openings
46% of homes were built in 2000 or later. Newer windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, and handles, cranks and alarm sensors stick out into the space a louver swings through. Measure the depth to the glass and to anything that sticks out; the designer checks it against the louver size you pick.
Rounded drywall corners
83% of homes here were built from 1980 on, and many houses of that era have rounded ("bullnose") drywall corners around the windows instead of square returns. A shutter can't sit flat against a curve: choose an outside mount with a frame that clears the corner, or an inside mount if the flat part of the opening is deep enough for your louvers.
Whole-house orders
With 65% of homes detached, most orders here cover a whole house: bedrooms, a patio door, perhaps a bay. Put every window in one list in the designer so the louver size and colour match from the street, and if you have an HOA, send it the drawings before you order.
A whole house in Rogers
The most common home in Rogers has three bedrooms: 44% of homes. 25% have four bedrooms or more, and 10% have one or none. The median home has 5.5 rooms.
Detached houses are the most common kind of home here. Across the US, the middle home among detached houses has 10 to 15 windows (EIA, 2020). Shuttering that many windows at a typical bedroom-window size comes to roughly $3,200 to $6,000. For scale, that's about 1.5% of the median home value here, $308,200 (owners’ estimates, 2020–2024).

Price your own windowsYoung children at home
7.1% of people in Rogers are under five, more than in 90% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. Shutters have no cords or chains at all: the louvers tilt with a rod or by hand, so there's nothing to hang within a child's reach. US rules for cords on custom blinds and shades are still being rewritten; ours never had any.
One room at a time
Homes here cost less than in 67% of the 881 US cities we have figures for, and many owners do a house in stages. Start with the rooms where light and privacy matter most, usually bedrooms and the street-facing front, and keep the same louver size and colour so later rooms match. Your saved design keeps every size.

Humid summers
Hot days and 53 inches of precipitation make for heavy summer air. Wood swells when it's humid, so give kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms some air: run the fan after a shower and tilt the louvers open so steam doesn't sit behind them.
Cold winters
With 101 freezing nights a year, warm room air meets cold glass for months. Shutters closed tight overnight hold that air against the window, so condensation can collect on the sill: tilt the louvers open in the morning, and wipe the sill on windows that often run wet.
