Lived there for 15 years; if you are from the baby boomer generation and you are looking for a place to live out the rest of your life, or a parent looking to raise children from a crime infested city, then this is the place for you. However, everyone else stay far away! There is nothing here to do, there is a lot of prejudice if you are not a white Christian that doesn't go to church and constantly question their scripture, and there is nothing here to do! The only jobs that are here are manufacturing, retail, and health care. There are more graves than opportunities; if you move here to test the waters, YOU WILL GET STUCK HERE FOR A LONG ASS TIME! Warning to parents that are seeking to raise kids; don't keep them here forever, their only ticket out if they want a better life will be the military or roommates. I would advise you to move to Springfield Missouri or somewhere else close by. ALL YOUNG ADULTS, STAY THE HECK AWAY! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR YOUTH HERE, AND NO ONE WILL CARE.
I was born in Mountain Home so I have grown up here. It is a small town but it has grown tremendously these last few years. It is probably one of the safest places to be or to have a family. It isn't the most diverse place though. Overall, it has been a privilege to be able to live in such a nice environment. One thing I wish this town would do is to create more activities for the town to participate in. I think it could be good for our community to come together once in a while.
I greatly enjoy this town, I live in a quiet neighborhood close to the center of town. There are many beautiful parks and outdoor activities. We are close to a large lake that is wonderful in the summer time. There are useful resources such as the public library, I spend majority of my free time there. Most everyone is friendly and welcoming. One of the few downsides is that there is not much to do as a teenager in this town and it is difficult to find work if you are under the age of 18.
