If you're looking for a simple rural existence, hours away from any major metropolis, then take a drive to the old town of Kirksville, Missouri. Here, you can live the sleepy small-town life in all its simple glory.

Named after a local legend known to have killed two deer with a single bullet, this little community has plenty of hometown tall-tales to go around. There's also plenty of delightful local characters, and more wave-hello's on the daily commute than you'll see anywhere. To really get into the swing of things, turn up the radio for a laid-back soundtrack of country music and good-time oldies as you roll through the countryside and get to know the area.

Just about every neighborhood is as family-friendly as it gets, even around the surprisingly tame campus area. For fun, locals spend their days out on the lake fishing, skiing, and wakeboarding, or camping at the neighboring state parks and forests. And, the price for these priceless surroundings is about as cheap as it gets.

Amenities in local apartment communities are very basic. You can find a few places with on-site laundry facilities, picnic areas, and playgrounds. Most will provide maintenance, lawn care, and pest control. And, if you're a student moving to town without wheels of your own, then you’ll be happy to know that many apartments have free shuttle service to Truman State.

Kirksville has one of the friendliest attitudes towards pet owners you’ll ever encounter. Cat and dog friendly apartments, townhomes, rental homes, and even student housing are easy to find. In fact, some places don't even charge a pet fee! How's that for pet-friendly living?

This is a beautiful way of life, with lots of wonderful outdoors experiences to be had all around you. So get on out here and get ready for some fine quiet-country living.
