HSV Great Place to Live - 2/1/2013
HSV is like living in paradise. The people are what make this place so special. Even if you don't want to golf on any of the 9 golf courses, or fish on one of the 11 lakes you will enjoy being here. Other activities are 8 rubico tennis courts and 3 hard courts at the tennis center, pickle ball, lawn bowling, scenic trails, a wonderful fitness center with indoor pool, a bridge house which has bridge games for all levels, a performing arts center and much more. All of this and HSV is a gates community so crime is very low. There are 2 school districts right outside the gates as well as grocery stores, etc. After looking at several areas to retire to we couldn't have picked a better place this is heaven on

Living the Dream - 1/31/2013
What is there not to like, 8 beautiful golf courses I can play all year round, mountains, woods, wildlife, privacy,four seasons,good climate, low taxes, good health care,no stress and best of all nice people. It is a place where anyone can afford to live.
Back in the 1980's I vacationed in the Village with my family on holidays.I always thought this would be a great place to retire. So, two years ago that is what I did and haven't looked back since. Having worked in the corporate world all my life and being around big cities, it has been a welcome relief to live in a more quiet, slower paced atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, there is as much here to do as anyone could want, if you are bored it is your own fault. The best part, if you need city you can have it in any size from Hot Springs, to Little Rock to Dallas just 5 hours away. Life is

Hot Springs Village - The Best Kept Secret - 3/14/2010
I moved here 6 years ago with my 2 children. I thought we would only stay a year or two, but six years later we are still here and love it! The people are wonderful, the community is supportive, the beauty is spectacular! My children learned how to golf, can play tennis whenever they want, and the hiking/walking trails are fantastic. The community is always growing and improving all the areas of the Village. The 9 professionally designed golf courses, the 11 recreational lakes, 2 marinas, 3 beaches and 21+ miles of hiking trails, and wonderfully fresh air to breath. It is also within 30 minutes from Hot Springs, 1 hour from Little Rock, 4 hours from Branson, MO and 5.5 hours from Dallas. It's a wonderful place to

Very Nice Retirement Area - 4/17/2009
We have lived here nine years. I would call "the village"
very boring but fairly scenic. The nine golf courses are gorgeous but I don't golf. The lakes are lovely and clean with no fish. There is almost NO traffic. It is Very quiet.
with lots of lovely deer in the fall and winter.
Besides July, August and September the climate, for me, is great. In those three months it is hot and humid. Forget sitting on the grass or even walking on the driveways; the chiggers will eat you alive just like in Texas. Be content with simply Looking at your yard.
We have a fabulous bridge club and building but I don't play bridge. No crime, we're gated. The houses range from nice to gorgeous and are very cheap (no million dollar homes)even if right on a lake. Nine gorgeous golf courses.
There are dozens of boats at the marina but that is where they stay parked. I know one lady who has a job; a waitress.
All the other ladies are mid-seventies and don't work. The
