Arkansas is quite nice. I’ll probably end up there

My gf lives in Conway. I'll probably be there eventually.

Yeah, uhh Ouachita is like 30 miles in length. It's immensely bigger than Hamilton and one of the best hidden gem lakes in the entire South. There's also almost zero development there because it's surrounded by a national forest. The campgrounds are also probably the best in the state.

Arkansas does a really good job with their state parks as well as promoting and protecting their natural resources.

Seems to have stuff I want. Golf courses, mountains, hiking. But it looks like it has lots and lots of old people. When I’m old, I don’t want to see old people everywhere I look.

I’m 41 and if I currently had mountains, hiking, and lakes that aren’t gravel pits, with old people everywhere I look, I’d probably think I died and went to heaven.

It’s a big development with a lot of undeveloped lots that people invested in years ago. So if you’re looking to buy, there are many opportunities to buy from someone looking to unload their old investment.

Pffft, the Homeowner's Association auctions off the foreclosed lots cheap. They're foreclosed on by the Homeowner's Association for ceasing payments of dues to the association, not by some lender/creditor. The association just wants that stream of revenue for the dues so they don't care about valuation usually, lakefront lots and other "special" ones might be an exception.
