Uncommon Life | St. Joseph, MO

A life like No other

in a place that feels familiar

St. Joseph is probably unlike most places you’ve lived. Our community sits at the crossroads of past, present, and future - incredible history and architecture, fine arts and culture, beautiful green spaces and parks, unique restaurants and shops. It’s pretty uncommon to find all that in a city of 80,000.

But what truly makes St. Joseph an uncommon city is the common threads that tie us together. Whether it’s our local fire spinning group, Lanham Music’s monthly all-ages jam session, or a weekly community mountain bike ride, you and your family will find your people here and they can’t wait to meet you!
