Ozark Mo Real Estate - July 2008

Welcome to Ozark, Missouri.  Well known for it's "antiques shops", Ozark is located on Highway 65 between Springfield and Branson.  In 2000 the population was 9665.  Ozark offers AAA-rated schools, low crime rate and still has that "small town feeling".  Having lived in Ozark for the past 30 years, I've seen the growth of the city quickly increase, new subdivisons have sprung up and several new schools have opened to handle the increasing population.  Along the Highway 65 corridor, new shopping centers  have made shopping in Ozark easier than traveling to nearby Springfield Missouri.

 The county seat is located in downstown Ozark on  the recently refurbished square.  Old buildings, with some dating back to the 1800's, are still being used for small businesses.  Others have remodeled the upper floors for "loft living".  The sidewalks have been restored back to wonderful antique brick. 

Ozark City Hall is just a block off the square.

I love Ozark and the nostalgic old commercial buildings and beautiful 2 story homes that surround the square. 

If you happen to be downstown on the square on Thursday evenings, shop the Farmer's Market and enjoy the entertainment at the gazebo by local musicians.

The new Ozark Chamber Website was released in July, 2008.
