Where to Live

You’ll be hard pressed to find an all utilities paid rental in the area. While rental prices are just at the national average, utilities work out to be slightly above the national average, even though the city takes care of water and trash.

Here's something else to keep in mind when looking for a property rental: The city requires all residents to acquire a Residential Occupancy Permit. The permit, which you can get from your landlord or owner prior to move-in, requires an inspection where the premises will be checked for any life safety and/or code issues. It’s an extra step to make sure that both tenant and landlord are protected. The permit will cost you about $35 and is valid for up to 90 days. But don’t fret; it won’t take long to get the inspection out of the way. It’s usually taken care of within 24 hours after purchase.

Keep That Free Time Busy

The city comes alive in the summer, and to describe wintertime in Missouri as chilly is a gross understatement.
