Top Ten Reasons to Move to The Southwest Missouri Ozarks!

By
Real Estate Agent with Southwest Missouri Realty

Here are ten great reasons to move to the Ozarks!

Lake

10. Recreation.  There are many beautiful lakes, rivers, and trails throughout the area. If you're an outdoors type of person you'll really enjoy the area. 

9. You get more home for your money.  If you're used to a postage stamp size lot and an expensive home, you're in for a treat. A $200,000 home here would sell for $750,000 in most other parts of the country.

8. Great schools. We have a good ratio of student to teacher and strong acedimic programs. There are many fine universities in the area.

7.  Friendly people.  Folks are friendly in the Ozarks and always willing to help out a neighbor.

6. Diverse job opportunities. There are a lot of job opportunities in the area in tourism, manufacturing, medical, sales, and service. We aren't dependent on any one sector so jobs are stable and enemployment is low.

5. Lower cost of living. Currently gas about $3.05 a gallon, which isn't cheap but its better than $3.75 elsewhere. Utilities and groceries are more affordable too.

4. Great climate. Winters are not harsh and summers aren't terribly hot here. We usually get one or two snowfalls in an average year. We have four distinct seasons.

3. Hunting and fishing. There are great opportunities for hunting deer, turkey, and small game as well as bass, trout, and crappie fishing. 

2. Branson.  There are tons of live music shows, theme parks, shopping, and recreational activities to do at Branson Missouri.

Branson Belle

There's so much to do in Branson there's no way I could describe it all here.

1. No Hillbillys here!  Well maybe a few at Branson shows but that's about it.
