Hollister offers residential living on Table Rock Lake
Hollister is Branson's residential sister-city. “Branson is all commercial, and Hollister is much more residential, so everyone who works in Branson prefers to live in Hollister,” says Realtor Parker Stone of the Keller Williams Tri-Lakes team, who’s been selling around Branson for over 20 years. The town is on Table Rock Lake, one of the most popular destinations in the Ozark Mountains. Between Branson and the lake, the area can feel touristy. However, Hollister is one of the few spots that isn’t tailored to visitors. Residents enjoy suburban and lakefront life without much busyness, but they’re still close to the activity. “Downtown Hollister kind of shares the area with downtown Branson,” Stone says. “So, you can easily get to restaurants and stuff on either side.” And, of course, residents can easily get on the lake for days of watersports and enjoying the Ozark wilderness.
Downing Street is the main commercial hub for Hollister residents.
Vistors and residents alike visit Big Cedar Lodge for entertainment and lodging overlooking Table Rock Lake.

Homes around downtown or on the lakefront
The median price for a single-family home in Hollister is about $700,000, but it’s better to break down the options by location. The two main areas where people live are downtown or by the lakefront. Condos near downtown can start under $200,000. Single-family homes closer to downtown range from $200,000 to almost $500,000. To the west, by the lake, condo units with water views range from over $200,000 to $650,000. Homes near but not on the lake include small ranch-style homes and large properties overlooking the lake for $200,000 to $1 million. Lakefront homes and mansions range from $700,000 to $3 million.
Older single family homes in Hollister are common.

Boat slips and scenic trails at Table Rock State Park
In 1959, the Army Corps of Engineers completed Table Rock Dam, therefore creating Table Rock Lake, with over 800 miles of mountain-lined shore. Locals not on the waterfront can access the lake from Table Rock State Park. The park’s marina has plenty of covered docks and a boat launch, where boaters embark on days of fishing, watersports and cruising up and down the lake. Table Rock State Park also has campgrounds and wooded trails. The White River Valley Trail System also has trailheads in the state park. These hilly wooded routes are popular with hikers and mountain bikers. Locals can also utilize the amenities at Big Cedar Lodge, one of the country’s premier wilderness resorts, 8 miles south.
Chad A. Fuqua Memorial Park is located next to the Hollister City Hall.
Afternoon walks along Lakeshore Trail are a favorite among residents in Hollister.

Dine in downtown Hollister or downtown Branson
Grocery stores and retailers are within a short drive of most homes. There are supermarkets like Country Mart and home supply stores like Menards in the plazas around the interchange of U.S. Route 65 and Industrial Park Drive. Downtown Hollister's main drag, Downing Street, is made to look like an old English village. The Tudor-style façades hold restaurants like Downing Street Pour House, which is inside the Ye Olde English Inn. Downtown Branson is a short drive north. It has many more restaurants and bars, including local spots and tourism-focused chains. Branson’s Theatre District is about 5 miles northwest of downtown Hollister. It’s famous for its country music-themed attractions and entertainment venues.
Downing Street Pour House puts a spin on the classic English-style pub restaurant, right in downtown Hollister.
Everyday essentials for Hollister residents can be found at stores like Country Mart.

The second-best school district in Taney County
The Hollister R-V School District serves local students. Niche gives the district an A-minus and ranks it the second-best district in Taney County. The district’s four schools are centered around the district offices on the east end of town. Kids can complete prekindergarten through first grade at Hollister Early Childhood Center, rated a B-plus. They spend second through fifth grade at Hollister Elementary, which is also rated a B-plus. Hollister Middle gets a B, and Hollister High is given a B-plus. The College of the Ozarks, a private Christian school with about 1,500 students, is a few miles west of downtown Hollister.
Work is a few minutes away in Branson or at Big Cedar Lodge
Most locals live in Hollister because they work in Branson. Commuters can get there in minutes on U.S. Route 65 or state Route 76. Branson is one of the Ozarks’ biggest tourist destinations, so hospitality and entertainment are its major industries. Cox Medical Center Branson is the nearest hospital. Big Cedar Lodge is the other big hospitality employer on this end of the lake. It’s one of the premier wilderness resorts in the country, just 8 miles south. Branson Airport is the nearest airline outlet, less than 10 miles south. It’s a small airport, offering a few regional flights. Springfield-Branson National Airport is a larger airport in Springfield, 50 miles north.
