Batesville, AR
Very nice town -
11/4/2023I moved to Ark 9 years ago to Hot Springs Village. I've visited a lot of places over those 9 years and I really like the state overall. If I didn't live in HSV, I would live in Batesville. It's a nice small town, friendly people, nice feel when walking around. I love the atmosphere, and having Lyon College here is a bonus. So many scenic areas in a 60 miles radius, larger towns close by if you need one, but Batesville has the atmosphere I like and the people I enjoy visiting with. If I decide to leave HSV, I would move here.

Not perfect, but very close -
10/31/2022We bought a lot in 1991, finally got to move here in 2014. We bought an existing house, but still have our lot. HSV is a great place to live, especially as a retiree. We live on a ridge with a great view to the south (east and west), love our privacy, the beauty of this place, our neighbors, our friends, and the overall atmosphere.
Note: the "disagree" numbers are from trolls who resent those of us who moved here from other states. The one negative voter should have followed up because Twiggs has been gone for quite a while and we have some great leadership in place with our POA employees and our POA board. Is everything perfect?? Of course not, but it's a far better place than just about anywhere else, and we've lived on both coasts, and several states in between over the last 60 years. My only complaint now is we are growing too fast (I'm selfish and don't want to share) but we have good people in place to deal with our growth and have a very good plan for the future. Our family members (scattered across the US) love coming here, and they really hate to leave here, wishing they could stay longer. Several have plans to retire here as well.

12/8/2021I totally disagree with "keep" but I see this was done 9 years ago. If everyone is paying the same price for gas, groceries, etc, then the students aren't being singled out as "keep" suggests. Small town living is sometimes a bit more expensive as items have to be trucked in. "keep" sounds like a spoiled brat who has a high opinion of themselves as a grad student, and I'm sure most people in Commerce were glad this one has left. Commerce is friendly, neighbors help neighbors, and there are plenty of things to do (and if you don't know, just ask someone for information... I've always been treated nicely while in Commerce. I had several classmates who went to "East Texas State" and it was a nice friendly campus. I know several people in the area and it's always nice to be greeted while "downtown" and several of the various store employees also say HI. It's a good family town, and it's easy to relax and take it easy .... well except for Friday night football... LOL...
Longview, TX
re: Longview...The Best of East Texas

2/22/2021I've lived in Texas for over 50 years and Longview is one of the good places to be. I've been all over East Texas over those years, and Longview is a favorite of mine. The problem with the whiny ones is that they want to be outside the norm and nobody can tell them anything. My suggestion... move to California where you will fit in. If you are a Texan and an American, Longview is a good place to be. Every place is a choice, and not every place is willing to let people live outside the law or be against things that are basically normal. If you want to be weird, move to Callie land
