By in SW MO with 0 Comments

Thinking about moving to Southwest Missouri? Wondering about real estate in the Bolivar-Stockton area? Well, this kind of small town living definitely has its perks. Not convinced? Here are the top 5 reasons to live in this patch of Southwest Missouri.

  1.  Safe Communities
    The Bolivar-Stockton area is one of those places where you don’t have to worry about leaving your car unlocked or letting the kids play outside in the yard. This is a place where neighbors look out for one another with a perfect mix of Southern hospitality and Midwest charm. If we need a cup of sugar, we go next door.
  2. Affordable Living
    Southwest Missouri is an inexpensive place to live. Homes are reasonably priced and built to last (which makes it a great time to buy!). Lower cost of living means more money in the bank. Who can argue with that?
  3. Access to Education
    Smaller schools means quality education. The student to teacher ratio in Bolivar R-I Schools is about 15:1 with Stockton even more intimate with a ratio of 13:1. Our kids in southwest Missouri have access to one-on-one instruction with quality teachers. After high school, students also have an abundance of choices for higher education with 6 major colleges within a 50 mile radius. We have premier education right at our fingertips!
  4. Recreation
    Nestled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, surrounded by numerous lakes, and neighbor to a myriad of state parks, Southwest Missouri has a geography that cannot be matched. This prime location lends itself to recreational activities like hunting, fishing, boating, and hiking that are shared by residents and visitors alike. People come from far and wide to get a taste of the Ozarks!
  5. Sports Hub
    Whether you’re a Royals fan, Cardinals fan, or Chiefs fan, you are welcome in Southwest Missouri, along with some healthy rivalry that is. College sports fans can easily cheer on their teams, too, with the University of Missouri, University of Arkansas, and many other colleges only a short drive away. You’re never far from the big game!
