Bolivar: Close Knit Community User Rating 2.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Bolivar, Missouri is a great little suburban area in Missouri that I am proud to reside in. Living in Bolivar, Missouri the last 3 years has been a pleasant experience for my sons and I. They attend Bolivar Middle School and are having great experiences there.

The community he ...Read More re is like no other that I have ever lived in. The people here are incredibly close knit. When we first moved here, we did find it hard to find our spot in the community, but once the people here got to know us, they welcomed us with open arms. You often find that complete strangers will start a conversation up with you here in town.

The best areas in Bolivar, Missouri include the multitude of restaurants that you can choose from if you want a bite to eat. There are also a few stores for your shopping needs. If you find that you need more of a selection, you can easily choose to drive a quick 30 minutes to Springfield for a larger selection and more entertainment options. Read Less
