Appreciate an excellent quality of life in Joplin, where a crossroads of culture lies tucked away in the beautiful Ozarks of Southwest Missouri. As the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the state, Joplin maintains the lowest cost of living and highest bang-for-your-buck. A city of 50,000 people (which flourishes to over 200,000 during the workday), Joplin serves as a hub of economic, health, and cultural activity for multiple communities in the four-state area. Spend more time at home with no commute; beautiful neighborhoods are located within an easy 5 to 10-minute drive from the clinic and hospital. Balance work with an active lifestyle with activities including golf, tennis, numerous gyms, running, and hiking the scenic chert bluffs. Enjoy easy access to nearby streams and lakes for fishing, kayaking, and boating. Multiple pre-K-12 options exist to ensure young minds have the opportunity to thrive. Choose from public, private, and parochial schools, local colleges, and a state university. Become a valued member of a diverse, growing medical hub with Kansas City University-Joplin's medical school and their 160+ students enrolled per year. A dental school opened on KCU-Joplin's campus in August 2023.
