A collegiate town and military community
A collegiate atmosphere, opportunities for outdoor leisure, an active air force base and rich local history await in Warrensburg. Just a few blocks south, the University of Central Missouri campus sits alongside the heart of the city, with shops and homes nestled between lecture halls. More suburban environs fan out from there, while a broad state park and Whiteman Air Force Base neighbor the city. “It’s really got that Stars Hollow kind of atmosphere,” says Andrea Soer, a Realtor with Elite Realty who graduated from the university. "You get a lot of people coming in and out from the college and the Air Force, but you move here and you’re already part of the family. You may not have been here last week, but we’ll talk to you like you were."
The University of Central Missouri campus is located in the heart of Warrensburg.

Quaint houses and quiet streets in west Missouri
The city’s housing market reflects more than a century of continued development and three decades of population growth. “The nice thing about it is that there’s all these little communities, but they’re all together in one place,” Soer says. Older properties and multi-family homes are numerous near campus and downtown. Toward the outer reaches of town, newer single-family homes and larger custom properties are more common, along with open land listings for those ready to build from scratch.
Warrensburg’s median home value is $260,000, which is significantly lower than the nationwide median home value. “I like to call it a little slice of the American Dream,” says Logan Kirchhoff, a local Realtor with Re/Max United. “It’s a great investor market, and the costs are low here compared to Kansas City but you’re never too far away from anything.”

Christmas Carol reenactments and Burg Fest every year
One of the city’s most enduring bits of local lore dates back to the 19th century when a trial involving the shooting of a local dog named Old Drum led to the popularization of the phrase, “A dog is a man’s best friend.” In the summertime, the Old Drum Festival happens at the historic courthouse downtown. Residents are encouraged to bring their furry friends to enjoy the day out as vendors, performers and local organizations gather to celebrate the town’s famous pooch. In the fall, Burg Fest is a weekend street fair with carnival attractions, live performances, a car show and food trucks lining Main Street.
Outdoor oddities at Cave Hollow Park
Warrensburg has a temperate climate with warm summers and cold winters, generally with a few inches of snowfall annually. "A few weeks back, it was in the 60s, and now it’s about 9 degrees," Kirchhoff says. "We get it all." The city’s leading pick for outdoor leisure in town is Cave Hollow Park, which includes trails weaving through forested areas and amenities such as baseball fields and an inclusive playground designed with accessibility in mind. About 10 miles east of the city, Knob Noster State Park is popular for camping, kayaking and horseback riding.

A variety of dining options in downtown Warrensburg
Small businesses are a thriving source of local goods in Warrensburg, including the boutiques and specialty shops on Holden Street and its surrounding blocks. Supermarkets like Hy-Vee and Aldi are in town, while Walmart and Lowe’s are both around the north side of town. “Being so close to the university means that we get a lot of amenities that other towns our size might not always have,” Kirchhoff says. Major employers in the Warrensburg and Johnson County area include Whiteman Air Force Base, the University of Central Missouri, EnerSys and Western Missouri Medical Center.
Violent crime in Warrensburg has gradually decreased since 2018 but climbed nearly 50% year-over-year in 2023, according to FBI data. Property crime, which is more prevalent, declined by about 20% in 2023.
