Bloomfield is a friendly, small county‑seat community of about 2,600 with a preserved Main Street, local parks, historical sites and regular community events—ideal for travel therapists who want quiet, walkable weeks with easy routine amenities and a tight‑knit vibe.
Bigger centers within easy drives include Ottumwa (~20 miles) for larger retail and entertainment, Fairfield (~43 miles) with an eclectic arts/food scene, and Kirksville, MO (~45 miles) for a regional hospital and university‑town amenities, so you’ll have weekend options and services without being stuck in a place that has nothing going on.
