El Pueblito is a Mexican restaurant located at 1705 Forest Hills Blvd in Bella Vista, AR, and is listed on the official dining directory for Discover Bella Vista, Arkansas (discoverbellavistaar.com/dine/, checked August 2026).

Schools and Recreation Near Forest Hills Boulevard

Bella Vista residents are served by three distinct public school districts: Bentonville Public Schools covers the majority of the city, Pea Ridge Public Schools serves the far east side, and Gravette Public Schools covers the west side (City of Bella Vista, bellavistaar.gov, accessed August 2026). Which district a specific address falls in is worth confirming directly with the district if you're comparing neighborhoods -- it isn't always obvious from a map.

Bella Vista also has exactly seven POA-managed lakes and seven POA golf courses, all included with POA membership (Bella Vista POA, bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/ and /thingstodo/golf/, accessed August 2026). For a lot of residents, that recreational access -- alongside everyday things like a nearby restaurant -- is part of what makes a specific pocket of Bella Vista feel like home rather than just an address.

How Bella Vista's Recreation Is Managed

The Bella Vista Property Owners Association manages the region's recreational infrastructure, overseeing roughly 36,000 acres and about 39,000 members through governance of common-area amenities including the lakes, golf courses, pools, restaurants and trails (Bella Vista POA, via KUAF, August 2025). Membership in the POA is mandatory for most Bella Vista property owners, and it's what funds the upkeep of those shared amenities.

As of August 2025 the POA's mandatory monthly assessment was $40 for an improved lot and $16 for an unimproved lot; a proposed increase went to a member vote that closed August 18, 2025, and no published result of that vote could be located as of August 2026 (KUAF, August 2025) -- worth asking about directly if you're weighing a move here, since it's a real, if modest, monthly cost on top of anything you'd spend eating out.

Bella Vista Population and Housing Snapshot

The U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts reports that Bella Vista had an estimated population of 34,518 as of July 1, 2025, up from 30,104 at the April 1, 2020 Census -- steady growth for a community that only incorporated as a city in December 2006, after residents voted roughly two-to-one in favor (Encyclopedia of Arkansas). Bella Vista started out in 1915 as a small summer resort founded around a dammed section of Sugar Creek, and it has grown into a full-fledged city with restaurants, schools and its own POA-run recreation system in the century since (Encyclopedia of Arkansas). The median home sale price in Bella Vista was $385,250 in June 2026, up 2.22% year over year (Houzeo).
