As the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the state, it strikes a balance between affordability and value.

One of Joplin s standout features is its proximity to home. Beautiful neighborhoods lie within a convenient 5-10 minute drive from the clinic and hospital, allowing physicians to spend more time where they belong with loved ones. For those seeking an active lifestyle, Joplin delivers. Golf, tennis, gyms, running, and scenic hikes along the chert bluffs provide ample opportunities to stay fit and engaged.
