About Clinton

Located in west-central Missouri about an hour and a half southeast of Kansas City, Clinton is a welcoming town of around 9,000 residents. The heart of the community is its expansive downtown square, one of the largest historic courthouse squares in the state. Lined with century-old brick buildings, local shops, and cafes around the 1893 limestone courthouse, the district gives the town a classic small-town feel that immediately makes you feel at home.

Outdoor recreation is a major draw for newcomers, as Clinton serves as the western starting point for the scenic Katy Trail and sits just minutes from Truman Lake. Whether you spend weekends cycling, boating, or exploring the surrounding countryside, there is plenty of room to unwind. With its own local school system, convenient medical care, and easy highway connections up to Warrensburg and the Kansas City metro, Clinton offers an easygoing lifestyle with practical everyday convenience.
