Bella Vista, AR.

Bella Vista is built around its golf courses and lakes as a retirement and second-home community, and a large share of its housing stock is older single-story construction designed for exactly that kind of living.

That makes accessible, aging-in-place bathroom remodels and single-level kitchen updates some of the most common work here, alongside the usual roofing and siding upkeep that any home in the Ozarks eventually needs.
