5 Reasons To Retire At The Lake

In addition to being one of the best vacation destinations in the Midwest, the Lake of the Ozarks is a very popular place to retire. In fact, it is only relatively recently that young adults started to make up a larger percentage of the population in the Lake Area - it has long been a favorite retirement location among elderly adults from all over the region. Though the population is now beginning to even out a bit more, the Lake of the Ozarks is still a great place to retire. If you are thinking about retiring soon, here are a few reasons why you may wish to consider buying a retirement home at the Lake of the Ozarks.


1. Family Coming To Visit
Being surrounded by your friends and family, the people you care about the most, is the most wonderful thing in the world. If you retire in a waterfront home at the Lake of the Ozarks, you'll rarely have to worry about whether or not your family will come to visit you - in fact, you may not be able to keep your guests away! All of the water-related activities are a great way to help your grandchildren burn off some energy while you and the other adults enjoy relaxing on the dock.

2. Affordable Cost Of Living
Despite being one of the most popular destinations in the Midwest, the Lake Area boasts remarkably affordable costs of living. Fuel (and other) prices tend to rise slightly during the peak summer season, of course, but even then most individuals agree that the overall cost of living at the Lake of the Ozarks is far lower than that of surrounding cities and states. This affordability makes it a great place to live on a retirement (or any other) income.

3. Active Lifestyles
Physical activity is important for people of all ages, but it is especially important to maintain some level of physical activity as you age; staying active has been shown to improve longevity and overall health. Between golfing, fishing, swimming, hiking, boating, water skiing, kayaking, and the countless other available activities here at the Lake, you'll barely have a chance to sit still. Retiring at the Lake will give you the perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy the physical activities that you love - and maybe discover some new favorites while you're at it.

4. Quality Medical Care
No one can ever predict when they will be in need of medical attention, but most people agree that their need for medical care increases as they age. If you retire at the Lake of the Ozarks, you will have easy access to Lake Regional Hospital, an award-winning, state-of-the-art medical facility located in the heart of Osage Beach. From cardiovascular to catheterization to oncology services and everything in between, our local facility is sure to meet all of your needs.

5. Low Crime Rate
No matter how old you are, feeling safe and secure in your new home is absolutely essential. The Lake of the Ozarks has one of the lowest crime rates in the Midwest - and the few crimes that are reported are often small, individual incidences that do not endanger the general public. The local law enforcement officials do an excellent job patrolling the area and responding if there is ever a need. No matter which area of the Lake you choose to call home, you can be confident that you will feel safe and secure.
