Outdoor Living at Bella Vida

June 17th, 2026

With Bella Vida (BV) just months away from welcoming its first residents, Executive Director Brooks Powell offers an update on the community’s progress and a preview of what future residents can expect when the doors open.

BVs thoughtfully planned outdoor spaces are designed to welcome everyone and promote wellness. The outdoors will feature art sculptures, inviting green spaces and breathtaking Hill Country views.

“What sets Bella Vida and Forefront Living apart is that we are about more than just being a place to live – we are about building community and creating the best possible life for all residents,” said Brooks. “I hope residents and visitors feel how welcoming the community is and see the mission behind everything we do.”

The entrance courtyard is the first space that residents and visitors will experience. It will offer a patio area with comfortable seating where residents can relax, socialize or enjoy a meal outdoors. Additionally, connected to the main dining area, there will be a covered patio dining space.

Residents who enjoy wellness activities will appreciate the dedicated green space designed for yoga classes and other outdoor programming. Inside, the community’s pool will offer stunning views of the Hill Country, creating a serene setting for exercise and relaxation.

Pet owners will also have access to a designated dog park, where residents and their fur-baby friends can gather and socialize.
