Webb City's housing renaissance began in the late 1980's with the creation of several new
developments.  There are numerous new housing developments in various stages of construction in
Webb City and surrounding areas.  In addition, Webb City boasts both new multi-family housing and fine renovated downtown apartments.  Older neighborhoods are experiencing a boom in new in-fill construction.  The fine reputation of the school district, the attraction of small town life, safe neighborhoods, and a low cost of living drive the demand for Webb City housing.
