I spend a lot of time talking about Hot Springs Village, Arkansas – what it’s like to live here, the golf courses, lakes, neighborhoods, amenities, cost of living, retirement lifestyle, and all the little things you discover only by spending time inside the Village. But that doesn’t mean I’m qualified to answer every question about living in Hot Springs Village. Not even close.
Take dating in retirement. I’ve been married to Rhonda for almost half a century. If you’re looking for advice about the Hot Springs Village dating scene, I am most definitely not your guy! The same goes for what it’s like to move to HSV as a single person, rebuild your social life after losing a spouse, navigate serious healthcare needs, become an avid golfer, master pickleball, or experience retirement after completely giving up work. I can show you what I see, introduce you to people who know far more than I do, and share my own experiences, but sometimes the most accurate answer I can give you is, “I don’t know.”
And that’s really the point of this episode of HSV Inside Out. My goal has never been to convince you that Hot Springs Village is the perfect retirement community for everybody. It isn’t. My goal is to show you as much of the real Hot Springs Village lifestyle as I can. The good, the bad, the interesting, and occasionally the ridiculous, so you can decide whether it might be right for you.
There are things I know because I’ve experienced them, things I observe because I live here, and things I’m not qualified to tell you. Knowing the difference matters.
So pull up a chair on the porch. We’re talking about some of the questions you probably shouldn’t ask me…and why admitting what we don’t know may be one of the best ways to help you figure out whether Hot Springs Village, Arkansas belongs on your retirement shortlist.

Hello Randy!
My wife Sandy and I are Montanans who love Montana in the summer, but after enduring several decades of long, frigid, windy, and snowy winters; we had had enough. Last fall we purchased a winter home in HSV that we rent as a vacation rental while we are away. We chose HSV with a lot of help from your videos, and we thank you for that. We viewed countless hours of “HSV Inside Out” because it was entertaining, informative, and proved to be very honest..
We love it there and can’t wait to get back this fall. We joined the lawn bowling club and it has been very enjoyable. It is fun and the people in the club are welcoming and a pleasure to be with.
I have heard you mention you entertain ideas for future shows. Since there are so many clubs in HSV, it think it would be interesting if you explored some clubs and talked to some of the members to give your veiwers some insights into the clubs in HSV. I know the lawn bowling club needs more members, so you might be able to help. Keep up the good work, and thank you!
