Boonville is a charming riverfront town with a historic, walkable downtown, a relaxed low-cost lifestyle and easy access to outdoor recreation along the Katy Trail—ideal for multi-week travel assignments when you want downtime, local coffeeshop and pub scenes, and short-day adventures.
Larger hubs are nearby: Columbia’s dining, arts and university scene is roughly 25 miles away, and the state capital Jefferson City—useful for bigger-city amenities—is about 57 miles from Boonville.
