About Mountain View
Mountain View is a quiet, scenic Ozark town of about 2,500 residents in northeastern Howell County. Situated right along US 60 between Willow Springs and Birch Tree, the town makes it easy to travel across south-central Missouri while holding on to a relaxed, small-town pace. Its elevation gives the community sweeping views of the surrounding rolling hills and timberland, making it an appealing home base for anyone who enjoys outdoor recreation, clear Ozark streams, and the nearby Mark Twain National Forest.
Everyday amenities make settling in simple for families and retirees alike. Local children attend the Mountain View-Birch Tree School District, while Southwest Baptist University operates a branch campus right in town for continuing education. With neighborhood parks, a municipal golf course, local medical clinics, and a tight-knit community atmosphere, Mountain View offers a comfortable, down-to-earth place to call home.
