Review of Joplin, Missouri


employment opportunities
Star Rating - 9/25/2009
I am getting out of the Army soon and am wondering what the job opportunities are like in the Joplin, Missouri area. I also have four children ranging from age 5 years old to 1 year old who will be attending school soon. Is there any way that I could get information on what the school systems are like. Frindley enviroment for children. What the crime rates are like. Just a good, clean, and quuiet place to live.

My parents have lived in Joplin for a long time and are moving to a retirement residence. All our family enjoy going to visit in Joplin becuase of the the mild climate, and location close to the Ozarks, Branson, etc. I was just talking with my parents this past week about their home that we just listed for $95,000. I said it would be perfect for a young family! It has 3 bedrooms, 1 and a half baths, a large beautiful back yard, large sun room off the kitchen, a shop and double garage. Wasn't sure if you are still interested in moving to Joplin, but If you are interested in more information, I can give you the name of the realtor in Joplin. My e-mail is ltinnean@netins.net.
