Once strictly a retirement/leasure community, Bella Vista is now cashing in on its proximity to the booming Northwest Arkansas metropolitan area of Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers/Bentonville. Only minutes from Wal-Mart's Home Office {World Headquarters and thousands of competing vendors}, the immediate Bella Vista area has almost doubled in population over the past five years - from 9,600 to 16,800 residents. Reliable estimates project that the actual population of the village is now over 24,000 and growing rapidly. This, in itself, would be impressive enough -- BUT combine that with beautiful Ozark Mountain scenery, golf courses and lakes everywhere, and a neglible crime rate makes this a Places Rated/Best Places to Live candidate for sure.
