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.

Visited hot springs last year. Ok for a few days, but I was ready to head home. Not the place I would want to spend the rest of my adult life.

"Mountains?" Is the elevation even over 1,000 feet?

My former boss and his wife retired there. As mentioned, great golf. Fishing is legit too. He is from OK so he is somewhat close.

Downside, lots of old people. Sorry, its a retirement place.

Lake Hamilton is a big and nice lake. Water is crystal clear at times. Lots of boats. Mountains nearby. You could do a lot worse.

Sounds like you would like Bella Vista Arkansas. It is a weird mix of retired and rich folks who worked for Walmart or a company that does big business with Walmart.

Beautiful area, lived there a while. Lots of old people, lots of Yankees. Good golf and fishing though, it’s worth it lol

I can tell you the security staff at the Arlington Resort Hotel and Spa are a bunch of muppets.

Yankees and Californians who hate the south are moving there at rapid pace. Good luck

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.

I used to own a condo there and went up once or twice a month to play golf with my buddies and our girlfriends. Great gold courses, but nothing else to do, really. Kept it rented out the rest of the time. And yes, that's how the courses look.
