we've got character
St. Joseph is probably unlike most places you’ve lived. And we’re proud of it. The amount of history, incredible architecture, arts and parks is mind blowing for a city of almost 80,000. Our unique character isn’t just in our things, it’s in our people. We’re entrepreneurial, intelligent, quirky and kind. We’re uncommon in the best of ways. Welcome to St. Joseph, Mo., where you can stand out, raise a family and make lifelong friendships.
who wants to be common anyway?
Our transition from St. Louis to St. Joseph was a positive one for many reasons. We were comforted by less crime and traffic, but also charmed by the smaller comunity size, which allowed us to become quickly and easily integrated into social and professional circles.
We have all the retail shopping, entertainment - concerts, festivals - and amenities of a large city but without the hassle.
Uncommon is the history of St. Joseph. St. Joseph has so many businesses and buildings. These are what make St. Joseph unique.
Our community calendars are bursting at the seams. You can always find something to do and if you're craving the Chiefs, Royals, MLS Soccer or NASCAR, they're all just a short drive away.
Our people, places and things have thousands of interesting stories to tell. And you'll want to hear a lot of them. Get comfy and happy reading.
