Why Move to Perryville, Missouri? Small-Town Living with Big Advantages
People always ask us why there seem to be so many stories on people and places in Perryville, even though it only has a population of 9,000. The reason is simple—they work hard, they are creative, they are open to new ideas outside of their orbit, and they are fair—most importantly, 573 gets pulled where people want us. We have worked with the Perryville City Administrator, Brent Buerck, and the Perry County Tourism Director, Trish Erzfeld, for nearly 20 years, and we have covered many aspects of Perryville and its people—they all love simple family life and peace. Perryville combines rural beauty, modern growth, and genuine hospitality, making it ideal for those seeking an affordable, safe, and community-focused lifestyle. Like most places in the 573, it’s a short drive to St. Louis, and from all the things a big city offers, it’s a million miles from all the crud a big city offers. Yup, that pretty much sums it up right there.
