Bolivar is a great small town with a tight-knit community. I enjoy all the events Bolivar hosts and all the support from the community, no matter the cause. I personally enjoy supporting small businesses and getting to know the name behind the company!
Bolivar is a safe little hometown. People are friendly, even if you don’t know them everyone is ready with a wave, a smile or a nod. There are multiple popular fast food chains as well as several small town restaurants. There is a Walmart with decent hours , but also a locally owned grocery chain as well as an ALDI. The public school system is good, the teachers care about their students and work with them on an individual level due to smaller class sizes. And the traffic although it can get backed up, is never more than a ten minute jam.
There are not many healthy options to eat out or at the market. Finding a ride if you don’t have a car is near impossible with no bus system, Uber, or other public transportation.

I love the community feel of the town! While it is a small town, there are amazing restaurants and places for entertainment. The short drive from Springfield also makes it a nice place in the southwest Missouri.
