Ok...CALLING ALL BRANSON EXPERTS and you too:) (apartments, condos)

Ok...It looks like I am a go ahead with my Branson move. I will be working hard this next Spring (MARCH) to find a place to live. This is where I need your help. I do not want to be too far out to have too much difficulty on the roads in the winter months. I would like to be fairly close (less than 5 miles) to the Jr. High/ High School. I have seen ads for condos and apartments in those areas. I will probably chose this venue till I get more familiar and established with the area.

Are there certain complexes that have a bad reputation/ bad management etc? Another alternative were condos that I see on craigslist a lot (fox trail) any thoughts on those? I thought, although not close to the schools, it is off 165 and close to the Dam/Lake etc. Any particular thoughts on these areas?

The traffic on 76 moves at a snail's pace all months except Jan and Feb. and i think that will change soon....
living "out" is not such a bad idea...just stay away from the tourist areas - not becuase of safety (you won't find a safer place to walk and sightsee) but because of the traffic!
We love Branson - but of course, we're part of the group of "tourists" that are causing all the problems. ha!!!

Yea...I'm one of those too. I do not want to be near the strip (76). There are some condos South on 165 going towards the fish hatchery, roads are not terribly windy but far enough out to avoid traffic. Won't be too close to schools but I reckin thats why we have buses.

There is a new complex just off Sheperd of the Hills Pkwy, called College View Apts. Their # is (417)334-2431 . There is a just opened complex off Hwy 248 called Valley Ridge Residences. They are very nice!

A friend of mine moved in last month and they have pools and playgrounds,too!

Both are within 5 miles of the school. Good Luck!!

I vote the closer to the lake, the better...

Piffle. With the singular exception of the "76 Music Hall to WalMart Corridor" I can get anywhere in Branson in 20 minutes or less. You don't have to drive on 76 if you don't want to, thanks to the many back roads and alternate routes.
