The first house we put an offer on was in Lexington, MO. We just found out today that it didn't go through. So now I'm browsing the real estate listings again, and pondering a large house in Princeton, right at the top of the state, close to the border with Iowa. There are several things I like about that house.
One is the size. It would be as large as my parents' house, if not larger. 4 bedrooms currently completed, with room for more in the attic or basement. Emmett's office might be really nice in the attic...
Another is that, being up north, the summers would be more mild than further south. Somewhat? I don't know by how much.
My browsing on Facebook has shown are only a handful of groups or pages focused on that area, but what there is gives the impression of an active community that's looking to grow.
They look like they have great internet, based on an internet company office being there, and participating in local facebook groups. They look like a company interested in investing in their community.
It's a small town, which I hope would be lots of fun. But it's also the county seat, so the county library is right there in town. Their facebook page also looks pretty active, they have community activities and story times, etc.
Someone on FB mentioned those small towns being really welcoming of newcomers. Several people have said that of Missouri, overall.
It's only 30min from the nearest hospital, Walmart, or LDS chapel. (30min from a chapel will certainly be a change, but I think I'm game for it!) 😉
