Even if they are right wing (I am libertarian, not right wing), the influx of money will cause property values to rise and that means all prices will rise. When the local store has to pay more property taxes, they increase their prices. I like money and nice things, but chose simplicity over frivilousness. Migrants from *any* place change the places they move to - even if that isn't their intention. I was pissed when my pansy doughboy neighbor petitoned to get our street paved. Suburbanites insist on making rural areas more suburban and that increases taxes. The elderly insist on having better ambulance services and that cost is spread out to all residents - increasing taxes. Old ladies want a public meeting hall to show art work and to have cultured get-together an other residents with no interest in those activities must help pay the bill.

    I just happened to find this page and I thought I would go ahead and leave one Note no one mentioned, it could be Pro or Con depending on the person. I moved from Dallas-Fort Worth to Bella Vista a few years ago and The one thing that I am till having culture shock with is the shut down of everything about the time the sun sets!! There is nothing to run and do it place you have to go to because Everything around here closes around 8 p.m.! I mean everything! Restaurants & pretty much everything! Of course that's except for Walmart! Which if your not a huge fan of that place this will be challenging! But Now even Walmart is closed at 11! It's just one thing that's been very hard to get used to! You learn to shop early and plan ahead. It is beautiful here so it depends on how much you want your activities to revolve around the outdoors.

    “Definitely” count = 38. But, seriously, good content. There are a number of realtors out there doing videos that get the information so wrong, I appreciate your accuracy. The only thing I would add is a “con” of a lack of a nearby international/large airport, which means most travelers will have to take at least 2 or 3 hops to get to the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada, or further (Europe/Pacific), which is why XNA is the most expensive regional airport in the US. International airports in Tulsa, Little Rock, or Kansas City are all 2-3 hours away. So, yes, XNA is nice and convenient, but it is not fast, cheap, or easy to go far.

Not that any of these things are necessarily bad, but being born and raised in Texas, I know for a fact that they don't really jive with the more hospitable, polite, and nice demeanor of southern people as a whole. Just my $.02.

    Hi, what towns or areas for a lake house?

  • @LivingInTheOzarks

    @LivingInTheOzarks

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi Mandy, The best place for lake houses depends on what you’re looking for. For example, if you want to be on the main lake here, which is Beaver Lake, then I would suggest areas around Rogers or Lowell. You want to stay on the west side of Beaver lake so that your still close enough to the main areas such as Bentonville and Fayetteville. One issue that some people run into is if you want a boat dock, you have to make sure that there’s already one built on it when you buy. Or if the seller already has a permit to build a dock on the property. The corp of engineers has stopped issuing permits for boat docks on beaver lake. We don’t know if they will ever issue anymore but as of now to preserve wildlife and habitat they’re not allowing anymore boat docks to be built. So you definitely want to make sure that there’s already one there on the house that you buy or there’s already a permit issued for that property. Now on the other side of things, you could look at places like Bella Vista. There’s seven private lakes there and they are smaller however you’re gonna find them to be a little bit cheaper and still be able to build a boat dock there if they don’t already have one. That’s just a couple suggestions however if you’d like to talk more about it feel free to give us a call, text or email anytime and we would love to talk more with you! Hope that helps! Thanks for the comment. 833-824-8323 nwa@agentplusgroup.com
