2018 Best Places to Live in Taney CountyAbout this List

Branson

• Town in Missouri
• 45

Current Resident: I've lived in Branson most of my adult life. Branson has a small-town feel, and for a town that hosts thousands of visitors each year, still is a very close-knit community. Our schools are provide our children with a tremendous education, and our job market provides a variety of employment opportunities. Because our town is tourist-based, many of our jobs are seasonal, but the off-season has shortened over the years, and many Branson businesses are now open year-round or are only closed for a short amount of time each winter. Entertainment opportunities are plentiful, with most shows and attractions offering tremendous discounts for local residents and employees. Dining options are excellent, as well. With our beautiful lakes, and Ozark mountains, there's not a prettier place in Missouri to reside!

Branson Township

• Town in Missouri
• 19

Niche User: There is more to Branson, Missouri than "The Show Business Capitol of the World". As a young adult living in a timeshare heaven, I have grown to love the culture of Branson. From the prestige of Table Rock Lake to the serenity of the hiking trails, there is always something to do in the small town of 10,000. Along with the activities in Branson, the locals make the experience of living incredible. Everyone here has a deep passion rooted in the tranquility of Branson; therefore, passion and respect trickle into the business lives of these individuals. The results are evident in their work ethic and duty towards their country. If I were to restart, I would choose Branson again in a heart beat!
