Hot Springs Village: Recreational Paradise in the Heart of the Ouachita Mountains
Hot Springs Village might be the largest gated community in the United States, but its gates beckon, not rebuff. Every day, greeters at the east and west gates welcome visitors from all over the country to this charming Arkansas hamlet, located just 15 miles north of Hot Springs.
Its placement in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, among 12 beautiful lakes, makes HSV one of the most beautiful communities in Arkansas and one with boundless recreation opportunities. From world-class golf and tennis to fishing and waterskiing to pickleball and mountain biking — there’s something for everyone within its 26,000 acres.
Established in 1970, Hot Springs Village was created to form a tight-knit community of active people who wanted to surround themselves with the beauty of the Natural State. Fifty years later, the thriving village is exactly that to more than 15,000 residents. Even with 8,500 homes, the Village is still only a third built out, with thousands of acres reserved for green space within the gates.
