Wealthy People are Moving to the Ozarks Region in Droves

And surely the political rise of Arkansas is a consequence of Wal-Mart

The Ozarks

The Ozarks are a physiographic and geologic highland region of the central United States. It covers much of the southern half of Missouri and an extensive portion of northwestern and north central Arkansas.

Current economic activities
Tourism is the growth industry of the Ozarks as evidenced by the growth of the Branson, Missouri, entertainment center celebrating the traditional Ozark culture.

Poultry farming and food processing are significant industries throughout the region. The Tyson Foods corporation and ConAgra Foods each operates several hundred poultry farms and processing plants throughout the Ozarks. Schreiber Foods has operations throughout southern Missouri. Stillwell foods has frozen vegetable and other food processing centers in eastern Oklahoma.

The trucking industry is important to the regional economy with national carriers based there including J. B. Hunt, ABF and Prime, Inc.. Springfield remains an operational hub for BNSF Railway. Logging and timber industries are also significant in the Ozark economy with operations ranging from small family run sawmills to large commercial concerns. Fortune 500 companies such as Wal-Mart in Bentonville, Arkansas, Leggett & Platt and O'Reilly Auto Parts are based in the Ozarks.

The area is also home to several Missouri wine regions including the Ozark Highlands AVA and Ozark Mountain AVAs.

~~~Are these people retiring or still working and if so where? Sounds like a lovely place except for the poisonous critters.

I'm actually in SW Missouri, not close to the New Madrid, they tell us because its mostly on bedrock or something like that, that the effects of a New Madrid quake will not be that bad. I dunno, thats just what they say

I love it here, the critters aren't that bad. Although we have had a panther(cougar) running around. A buddy of mine caught a few pics on an game camera a few weeks ago.

Plenty more of that to come OP! Lions/Pumas are way up everywhere stay sharp! Im glad money is rollin into your town! Congratulations!

Hide your children!

How many of them are Libs from the left coast hell bent on forcing their type of socialism on the local populace ?

damn Clyde Lewis is one diseased cult looking Jabba the Hutt

Huh! That's a good question. One that hadn't occurred to me. Damn Libs.

As long as they keep their hands off my guns, I promise to keep my hands off their daughters LOL

I've lived in NWA all of my life. It's the HQ of Walmart and is the fastest expanding area in the US behind Las Vegas. Yea, there are plenty of rich people.

... and people are retiring -- that area has a lot to offer.

... and the Mormons are planning a large facility there -- a lot are relocating there in anticipation of this.

... but, also of note, a lot of Amish are moving that way as well. (redacted... to avoid the Amish defenders).

Lots of rich folks move to Bella Vista, Ar. Is that where you do the handy work?

My bloodline is heavily from the Ozarks.

I have no clue what you are on about.

I wanted to get a DROVE , but I do not have enough bank to buy one.
What does the 4-door deluxe model cost these days?
Do they still make the convertible?

Who the fuck is strong enough to FOLD A GAWDAMN BICYCLE?
Is John Moore a body builder ?
Damn, like to start dooin' his workout routine !!!

They are all moving there because their government contacts are telling them there is going to be a major Celestial event by the end of 2017 that will influence sudden drastic climate change, Winds of 200 miles an hour multiple sporadic earthquakes pretty much like the movie The Day After Tomorrow
This event will influence the oceans to rise significantly and the Ozarks are considered the best Safe Haven

The price of land in Northwest Arkansas has risen in price quite steadily for the past few years. $10,000 per acre is not uncommon and that is in the smaller towns outside of Bentonville. Bentonville is changing rapidly too. Lots of East coast folks who work as vendors for Walmart have moved in and driven the price of housing through the roof. I've talked with builders and the median new house is $450K. The developers will come in and purchase a perfectly good house on a small city lot for $200K and not blink an eye while demolishing the house. Next they will build a four unit high-end apartment building and sell each unit for $750K. and the buyers will not blink because they can easily afford it.

The folks who have lived in Bentonville for years are in a catch 22 problem. They can sell they houses for mega bucks but then they cannot afford to purchase a new house. Even in Bella Vista the price of forty year old houses are going high. Median price is around $150K for a 1200 sq/ft house. Lots of folks are moving to this area but if they don't have the money for a house they will find it hard to afford to live here.

Now if you want to move to the north central part of Arkansas where there is no infrastructure, then you can get acreage and a house of a reasonable price. But who wants to live in Eureka Springs or Harrison.

google Pensmore Mansion

I moved out of New England to the Ozarks a few months ago.



Do not tell you pals about this place. It is a fortified paradise.

Are you talking about Mo, or AR?

If any of you rich people want to move to a geologically sound, all white area of Arkansas, I can make you a real deal on a great fixer-upper. It's around 2500 sq ft and 3 acres. I think the local population is about 700 or so. Of course, all my neighbors are cows. I fired off a round about 2 this morning to disperse some noisy cayotes. If you fly, there is a very close small airfield., 1 mile to the Arkansas River where you can catch catfish, winter or summer, I guess. You can fly your confederate flag from your pickup and feel right at home.

Sounds like you're in or near Springfield. It's like a huge suburb without a city.

Branson is a cool place.

Lots of fishing.
