Bella Vista a place of beauty!
Bella Vista is a wonderful place to live and I did do my homework. The crime here is almost non existant, 14.5 compared to 45.4 the National average. Real estate taxes are lower, ours is 65% lower than they were in Dallas, TX. We spent several years reseaching where to retire and Bella Vista won out because of the incredible views, lakes, golf courses and friendly people. Long before we moved here we were aware of the costs and POA charges. All of the information you need to make an informed and intelligent decision is out there...brochures as well as the internet. I had a condo in St Louis and had to pay the condo fees and the City a minimum $45 for my water, even when i was not there. it is a standard business practice in many communities. We love Bella Vista and we welcome all the recreational venues they offer, even if we do not use them. Tell me where could you live and tell the City you do not want to pay for the parks and bike trails, just because you choose not to use them? Really how absurd to complain about amenities that help bring younger people to our community. Without them and growth, this could be a dying city.
