Generally most of the neighborhoods will fit the criteria in the Ozark and Nixa area. I'm assuming you live far from this area? I'd recommend you get set up with a realtor cause they are gonna be able to help you way more than any random person on reddit.

Also check out Rogersville Willard and Republic if you need to open up your such area a bit and enjoy living out of town a little more.

We’re about an hour west of Springfield now with aging parents living closer to Branson. Looking at SW Springfield area to be a little closer to them. We’re familiar with the area from an industry, cost of living, etc but specifically looking for neighborhoods that would create opportunities for the kids as well as us to meet others.

Oh, and the rail track that runs through Republic runs through our current town as well. Completely understand the cautionary warning!
