Nixa Real Estate and Homes for Sale in Christian County, Missouri

Once a small farming community whose residents relied on bartering goods, Nixa is now one of the fastest growing communities in Missouri. In its early days, Nixa attracted settlers because of its location and landscape. The streams and fertile soil located halfway between Springfield and Branson made Nixa an ideal stop for travelers. Nixa’s population has grown from less than 5,000 in 1990 to nearly 14,000 in 2004. Nixa is served by U.S. Routes 160 and 65, and Interstate 44 is accessible in Springfield, 15 miles north. Many local residents commute into Springfield for employment, although the local economy has grown substantially over the past 10 years. The largest employing industries are educational, health and social services, retail trade and manufacturing. Public education to students in grades K-12 is provided by Nixa R-II School District. Several colleges and universities – including Southwest Missouri State University, which is less than a 15-minute drive away – are in proximity for those who wish to attain a degree in higher education. In their spare time, residents can relax at one of the lovely city-operated parks, or participate in a variety of recreational programs throughout the year. Park facilities include playgrounds, baseball fields and tennis and volleyball courts. The city also manages aquatics programs in the summer and youth and adult sports leagues. For cultural activities, shopping, dining and golf, one may take the short trip into nearby Springfield. Nixa real estate options consist of single-family detached homes, estate properties, condominiums, townhouses and land lots.
