Is Hot Springs Village, Arkansas Your Retirement Sweet Spot? (The Leaf Blower Episode)

 

Let’s see if Hot Springs Village is your retirement sweet spot. Take this quick 10-question quiz. Answer YES, NO, or MAYBE.

1. Do you enjoy a quiet, slower-paced lifestyle surrounded by nature?

2. Would you love being near lakes, hiking trails, and golf courses?

3. Are you comfortable living outside a major metro area, knowing that the closest big airport and hospitals are 45–60 minutes away?

4. Are low crime and a strong sense of community important to you?

5. Do you enjoy small-town friendliness — waving to neighbors, chatting at the dog park, joining clubs or volunteer groups?

6. Do you value a low cost of living and want to stretch your retirement income?

7. Are you okay with limited nightlife, shopping, and dining, but plenty of nature, recreation, and community events?

8. Are you looking to downsize or simplify your lifestyle?

9. Does the idea of a gated, POA-managed community sound appealing, or at least acceptable to you?

10. Can you imagine yourself living in a rural, forested environment with four seasons — including humid summers and mild winters?

How did you score?

• If you answered yes to 7 or more, HSV could be an excellent fit.

• If you answered 4–6 yes, it’s worth visiting and exploring more.

• Fewer than 4? HSV might feel too quiet or remote for your lifestyle.
