BELLA VISTA — Bella Vista continues to get national recognition for the outstanding quality of life the city offers.
The community was ranked one of America’s Top 10 Best Healthy Places to Retire, according to U. S. News & World Report.
“ U. S. News traveled the country and selected 10 editors’ picks. These are places way ahead of the healthy living curve — they provide numerous places to exercise, promote strong social support and encourage healthy lifestyle habits. And each has a little something extra, too, ” the article states.
A reporter and photographer from the magazine visited Bella Vista this summer and met with some of Bella Vista’s staff and members, said Tommy Bailey, general manager of the Bella Vista Property Owners Association.
“ It’s really exciting to know that the editors at U. S. News & World Report have discovered what we’ve known all along — Bella Vista is an amazing place to call home, ” Bailey said.
The article, including a story and photographs of Bella Vista, is in the Sept. 29 to Oct. 6 issue of U. S. News & World Report, which is in stores now.
