Why is Lake of the Ozarks Great Year-Round?

Lake of the Ozarks offers a lifestyle that can be lived year round. You have likely heard about the lively summer activity that draws crowds from all across the nation and the beauty of the fall foliage during the cooler months. While being the vacation destination of the Midwest for its summer vibes, our area is also an amazing place to live year-round. In this week's blog, we are going to tell you why the Lake is one of the best places to live any time of year, and if you are interested in relocating to Lake of the Ozarks, the Lake West Chamber is here to help!

Four Seasons

That’s right, Lake of the Ozarks experiences all four seasons. Our beautiful area thrives off of spring, summer, fall, and winter seasons, all dramatically changing the climate and look of the landscape. Living in an area that experiences all four seasons can bring its fair share of challenges, but it also brings astounding beauty and the chance to witness nature and wildlife like never before - the hunting and fishing are phenomenal as well.

Vacation Destination/Awards

Over the years, Lake of the Ozarks has become nationally recognized, even more so during 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Lake of the Ozarks has been named the #1 Recreational Lake in the US, as well as the #2 Place in America to View Fall Foliage. We are honored to have the hard work of the community and all interested parties recognized. The Lake wouldn't be the renowned destination it is without all of these important pieces working together to create this vibrant, inviting atmosphere.

Our Community

Living at the Lake of the Ozarks is a dream. There is a slew of family fun to be had with various events around the Lake, ranging from watersports to cave spelunking, no matter your flavor of enjoyment, the Lake has something for everyone to enjoy. Each season has unique events that promote community involvement, entertainment, as well as immersing you into the season - creating a joyful experience. The healthcare at Lake of the Ozarks is also second to none. Being located between two major city hubs such as Kansas City and St. Louis, our area has access to resources that allow us to function with top-notch healthcare staffing and facilities. Having been accredited by The Joint Commission, as well as receiving the Missouri Quality Award, you needn't worry about your healthcare needs when living at the Lake of the Ozarks, they've got you covered.

Lastly, as a vacation destination, we have many citizens that are second homeowners, that alongside the outstanding tourism at Lake of the Ozarks leaves plenty of resources for enhancing education at the Lake. Our school system continually ranks above the state average, for every three high school graduates, two continue on to higher education. The surrounding area has top of the line technical career centers, college extensions, as well as a satellite community college. Lake of the Ozarks is prideful of its school system and ability to assist youth and young adults in successfully entering the workforce.
