Western Missouri city with rural appeal
In Clinton, adventure is available virtually anywhere. The north end of town offers access to the Katy Trail, the longest rail trail in the nation. The Historic Downtown Square is the largest in Missouri with an assortment of restaurants and shops. Truman Lake, the state’s biggest manmade lake, is south of Clinton. It all gives people in this city of 9,200 plenty to do in their free time. “There’s a lot of biking, but also fishing and swimming at the lake,” says Dawn Eastridge, a Realtor with EXP Realty and a property manager with JMI Properties, with three years of industry experience. “The downtown is super cute. We have a lot of good food and new restaurants coming.”
The most notable employers are Schreiber Food and Tracker Marine, a boat manufacturer, both operate plants. Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare is another key employer and is a 56-bed hospital.

Diverse styles with the chance for acreage
Bungalows and ranch-style houses are most prevalent, but the properties span across decades. The oldest dates back to the 19th century, and though limited, there has been recent construction in subdivisions like Jamestown and Golden Valley. The city’s rural makeup means buyers can secure some land with their home. Lots range from a tenth of an acre to several acres. Fixer-uppers sell for under $100,000, but most properties go for between $100,000 and $700,000. The median price here is $240,000, which is a bit less than nearby cities Harrisonville and Warrensburg and the national average.

Historic Downtown Square is a hub for present-day activity
The Historic Downtown Square is full of brick Italianate- and Victorian-style structures built from the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries. However, this well-established district continues to evolve — more than a dozen new businesses opened here from 2006 to 2020. “It’s a really cool area,” Eastridge says. “There’s probably four or five restaurants, a coffee shop, a bicycle shop, a candle-making shop and all kinds of active stuff to do.”
Downtown is also the site of Olde Glory Days. Clinton’s Fourth of July celebration dates to 1994 and is among the largest in the state, spanning four days. “It's a big deal,” Eastridge says.“ We have big parades and the whole community’s involved." She notes other favorite moments include skydivers, a big fireworks display, food, carnival rids and live music.
Square 109 Restaurant & Bar is popular in Clinton's Historic Downtown Square.
Clinton Candle Company offers a create-your-own custom candle workshop and private parties or shop hand poured candles from their market.
