lebanon (Springfield, Fort Leonard Wood, Phillipsburg: relocating, military, job)

[cat]

Im thinking of relocating to the town of Lebanon or Phillipsburg, Mo. Is anyone familiar with either town? If so, would you please tell me your thoughts on the pro's and con's of them? Thanks...

Lived in Lebanon for 12 years and could hardly wait to get a good job somewhere else so we could move. The only really good thing about it was that it was only an hour's drive to Springfield

Lebanon seems to be a town that is growing quit a bit, not a major city, but every time we go there, a new building is being put up. The have some discount malls, and all the basic stores. I am not sure about employment there, but the next town over is Fort Leonard Wood Army base.

We've lived here now for three years. My husband is active duty military and we find Lebanon to be nice and peaceful (compared to living near the Fort). Now there isn't much to do, unless you are an outside/nature/hunting loving person. However, Phillisburg is worse than here when it comes to forms of entertainment. Both Phillipsburg and Lebanon are a distance from entertainment (Phillipsburg is not that far from Lebanon). If you want some form of living - meaning shopping area, restraunants, etc. - Lebanon would be the way to go. If you are looking for something more secluded...a way out from the city...a quiet place to raise a family...than Phillipsburg is the place for you. As for housing market, you'll get a better selection in Lebanon, only because it is a bigger city. Hope that helps!
