Oak Grove's motto is "Come Grow With Us"
Just 28 miles from downtown Kansas City and on the edge of rural Missouri, Oak Grove is a town of just 8,000. It's a place where neighbors know each other and spend leisure time outdoors.

On weekends, locals can be found at the town's aquatic center, fishing at the lake, cheering on local little leagues or attending small-town annual events. With well-regarded schools, community parks and sports fields covering much of the town, Oak Grove blends rural and city living.
