A quiet lifestyle near the Ozark Mountains and the St. Francis River
Farmington's name originates from its fertile farmland, despite also being known as a prosperous lead- and zinc-mining area up until the early 1970s. Today, this rural city of 18,000 sits at the edge of the Ozark Mountains and is contoured by the St. Francis River. "It has a small-town feel [and] has everything that you would ever need,” says Jerett Rion, a Realtor with Nash Realty, Inc. Among Farmington’s recreation options are several state parks, golf courses and wineries all within a radius of 20 miles. “It's also got one of the nicest and most respectable school districts in the county,” says Rion. The Farmington R-VII School District earns top scores from Niche and is also ranked as the twelfth best place to teach in Missouri, out of nearly 460 schools. Top employers in Farmington include health care industries and manufacturers like U.S. Tool Group and SGL Global. For additional job opportunities, St. Louis is also only 75 miles, or about an hour's commute away.
