We have been saying it for a while but Branson, Missouri really is a destination people want to be in. Branson has been a hot spot for vacations for generations with our close proximity to the Ozarks. However, it is also a place where families can be raised in peace and enjoy the surrounding area with all of its wonderful features. Take a look at the top five reasons why we continue to see people move to Branson:
Affordability
It is no joke that the cost of living has seen a significant jump to levels no one imagined just a few years ago. With the cost of living continuing to rise over the country, families are looking to settle down where the cost can be relatively lower. Branson is one such destination where on average you can find a cost of living that is approximately 13% lower than the national average. The cost of living takes several factors into consideration such as utility bills and the cost of groceries; both areas are lower than the national average by double digit amounts. Second, housing is a crucial component on the cost of living. Home and rental prices here in Branson can be 27% to 48% lower than the national average, making it a great place to invest. Investing in a permanent home and/or a vacation property will go a long way towards a return on your investment.
Entertainment Capital of Missouri
Many places that have a lower cost of living tend to be in places where there is not much to do. Luckily, Branson is not this way and instead features a variety of entertainment options right here in the area. Branson proudly boasts itself as the “Live Entertainment Capital of the World” and while we welcome a friendly discussion on its claims you will find so many local venues for live music. You will find live shows and entertainment always on stage here in Branson with many tours coming through the area. Some favorites to find live entertainment at include Silver Dollar City and Branson Landing. It is not just live music and entertainment either that is a draw. Branson features near countless restaurants and shopping boutiques to try out. More money spent at the local shops and restaurants mean more money invested in the area. You will never have a boring day in Branson.
Amazing Local Community
Having a great supporting community around you will help lift you up. Many communities across the country have made a name to feature not so inviting locals. However, Branson and the surrounding Ozark community have been singled out for our strong sense of community. Local neighborhoods come together for a variety of celebrations including patriotic demonstrations for veterans and our armed forces. Charity events and food drives are a frequent occurrence here in town to help those in need. You will find an inviting church community who will welcome you with open arms. A strong support system is what Branson is built on.
Outdoor Fun
Live entertainment and local shops and restaurants are not the only kind of fun that Branson locals can find. The Ozarks have been a top vacation destination for our beautiful lakes and outdoor fun. When you live in the area, this becomes a part of your daily life, allowing you to have as much fun as possible. You can find Branson right in the middle of the Ozark Mountains so getting to local lakes including Lake Taneycomo and Table Rock Lake is a breeze.
