Bella Vista is tucked into the Northwest Arkansas Ozark hills, affording many spectacular views. Extensive hardwood forests (primarily Oak/Hickory) weave through the neighborhoods as "common ground", providing space and privacy to homeowners as well as shelter to large populations of wild deer, turkey, squirrels, birds, and other native animal species. A drive around Bella Vista displays the careful consideration the natural environment and geography has been given in the planning and implementation of this lovely community.
