Agreed that Branson is actually a nice place to live. Due to the tourism, it is rather loaded with good restaurants and entertainment like museums, Imax theater, camping, hiking, etc. Though you do have to deal with a lot of tourists and traffic during the summer busy season.

Some areas in Branson even have symetric fiber, I believe even gigabit.

You could probably get a nice house in a gated community on the golf course for $500k+.
