Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, is nestled in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, on 26,000 acres, and offers property owners from all over the world an active, fun-filled recreational lifestyle that is unparalleled. The Village also offers people from all walks of life peace of mind living in a gated community.
The Village is the largest gated community in America with access available only through security gates. The front gate located off Highway 7 is staffed 24-hours a day and the Highway 5 East Gate is staffed from 5:30 am to 10:30 pm. Access through gates not staffed is by computerized identification cards that allow property owners access to the Village.
Adding to the safety and security of a community with one of the lowest crime rates in the state or nation is a full police force, three fire stations and on-site Advanced Life Support medical emergency transportation services with certified paramedics.
Hot SpringsVillag is governed by the Hot Springs Village Property Owners Association (POA), a private, tax-exempt home owners association. A general manager and a seven member Board of Directors, who are elected in staggered three year terms comprise the guiding force in the Village. Board members serve on a volunteer basis.
The POA is responsible for all Village amenities including fire and police protection and a public works department that maintains roads, water and sewer and sanitation services the for the Village.
Also providing standards for keeping the Village beautiful is the Planning and Inspections Department to ensure that all building plans conform to the architectural control policy and building codes of the Village.
