Norwood, MO

Set among the rolling hills of the Missouri Ozarks, Norwood is a quiet Wright County community of about 600 residents. Life here moves at a relaxed pace, surrounded by working farms, open pastures, and wooded hollows. Because it sits right along U.S. Route 60, you get the peace and space of rural living while staying just a short drive from everyday shopping, dining, and healthcare in nearby Mountain Grove and Mansfield.
