5 Benefits Of Living Full-Time At The Lake

Think the Lake of the Ozarks is only for summer fun? It's time to think again. While the Lake is famous as a summer vacation destination, it's also a wonderful place to live all year long. Here are a few of the reasons why buying a house at the Lake of the Ozarks could be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

1. You Get To Enjoy The Water All Year
The Lake is beautiful all year long, but most vacationers and second homeowners only get to enjoy it for three months of the year. As a full-time Lake resident, however, you get to enjoy the water whenever you want. From early spring to late autumn, you can be out on the water enjoying yourself. You can even get the boat out in the middle of winter on a nicer day. Why limit your lake time to just a few weekends in the summer when you don't have to?

2. You Can Enjoy Living In A Bustling Vacation Destination AND A Cozy Community
During the winter, the population at the Lake of the Ozarks hovers around 100,000. On holiday weekends in the summer, the population increases to around 500,000 people. This drastically fluctuating population means that during the summer, you get to be part of a busy, bustling destination filled with people from all over the Midwest. In the off-season, you get to enjoy being a part of a close-knit community. In other words, you get to enjoy the best of both worlds!

3. Your Children Can Have Access To Outstanding Schools
The Lake Area is sometimes stereotyped as a retirement community, but the truth is that an increasing number of young adults are choosing to raise their families at the Lake. The educational opportunities available here are a big factor in this decision. There are several different schools located throughout the Lake Area, each offering outstanding educational programs and excellent extra-curricular opportunities. Your child will thrive here.

4. You Will Have Easy Access To Quality Healthcare
Lake Regional Health System offers outstanding care to both locals and vacationers. Patients have access to a wide variety of different health services, including primary care, urgent care, cardiac catheterization, open-heart surgery, and rehab therapy clinics, as well as chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Long ago Lake residents struggled to get to the services they needed in time, but nowadays quality healthcare is readily accessible.

5. The Recreational Opportunities Are Endless
Full-time residents get to enjoy any number of different recreational opportunities. Water-related activities include boating, fishing, swimming, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, and more - but there are plenty of opportunities that don't have anything to do with the Lake. The Lake of the Ozarks also boasts caves, water parks, bowling alleys, movie theaters, state parks, hiking trails, horseback trail rides, golf courses, and so much more.
