Midwest living is at its finest in the state of Missouri, which offers some of the best small towns in the country. The communities are picturesque, historic and offer extensive recreational opportunities. Missouri is full of secluded suburbs that sit on the outskirts of major cities and provide a livability factor like no other.
Below are some of the best small towns in Missouri recognized for their economic diversity, livability and design.

1. Ballwin
In this small town of just over 30,000 residents and located in the heart of St. Louis County, visitors will find a short commute to the major cities, two highly acclaimed school districts and very low crime rates. A large recreational park is situated among the center of the town and offers tennis and volleyball courts, two ponds, a pavilion, walking paths and a children’s playground.

2. Lake St. Louis
The beautiful and picturesque town of Lake St. Louis was originally established as a private resort village in the late 1960s and today offers a wide selection of golf courses, tennis courts and swimming pools. The community of 14,300 residents is located approximately 35 miles from St. Louis and features two private lakes and a National Equestrian Center. Just one town over is a major General Motors plant that offers substantial jobs for residents of Lake St. Louis.

3. Liberty
With just 29,000 residents, the town of Liberty offers a short commute to some of the state’s best telecom, engineering and scientific jobs in the state. The school district in Liberty is ranked as one of the highest in Missouri and residents have moved from all over the state just to enroll their children. Overlooking Liberty is the beautiful campus of William Jewell College that sits on a picturesque hilltop and provides cultural events for the community’s residents. Arts and entertainment are a huge draw for this community.

4. Webster Groves
Known as one of the best small towns in Missouri, Webster Groves offers green neighborhoods that boast large oak tree lined streets. The small community of 22,200 residents sits just two miles outside of the St. Louis city limits and provides affordable housing and easy commutes for both young and older families. The public schools are competitive and the town offers plenty of economic diversity. The town is friendly, hospitable and beautifully landscaped.

5. Hannibal
While Hannibal may not be the most highly recognized small town in Missouri, it is certainly one that should not be missed. Hannibal is the hometown of Mark Twain and sits, as it should, along the Mississippi River. There are a number of tours associated with Mark Twain and his home. There are also riverboat rides, a visit to Tom Sawyer’s cave and a variety of Twain shows to enjoy for the entire family.

6. Saint Genevieve
The town of Ste. Genevieve is as picturesque as its name sounds, with amazing French Colonial design and architecture throughout. The town is one of the oldest communities situated west of the Mississippi River. The community offers small but well-received festivals annually.
