West Branson offers lakefront living near dining and entertainment

West Branson is in a prime spot in the city: neighboring downtown Branson and close to several bodies of water, including the White River, Lake Taneycomo and Table Rock Lake. “You have the employees that work in town [living there], and a lot of retirees, second homes and lake homes, as well as investment properties,” says Parker Stone, a Realtor with over 20 years of experience, who works for Keller Williams Tri-Lakes. Locals live just south of Branson Strip, known for its museums and performance venues. Downtown has its own fun, from waterfront shopping to homestyle dining on Main Street. Outdoor recreation is equally robust, including a golf course at home and trails leading through the Ozark Mountains.

A mix of styles and settings, from condos to waterfront homes

Condos are common here, situated either closer to the water or to entertainment along the highway. They range from $160,000 to $390,000, with luxury and location factoring into pricing. Some come with an existing stream of renters. Single-family homes range from traditional ranch-style homes to custom builds. “We have waterfront homes that are super nice and have the amenities of being lakefront,” Stone says, noting private boat docks and boat ramp access. Single-family homes in Country Bluff Estates fetch from around $400,000 to $700,000. The subdivision overlooks the mountains and lake and features a recreational clubhouse. HOA fees range from around $25 to $50. Otherwise, single-family homes range from $230,000 to $400,000.

West Branson waterfront homes often feature stone accents and exposed wood beams to give them a cabin-like feel.
