However, to most people, it is unexpected to learn that Bella Vista is ranked one of the Top 25 Best Places for Affordable Homes by CNNMoney. com and Money Magazine. It shouldn't be surprising that Bella Vista has captured national attention, considering it is home to seven stocked lakes, seven golf courses, several trail systems for walking, running and biking, ten - nis courts, swimming pools, a gun range and a long list of other amenities.
