I loved growing up in Parkville. It's like a page out of the Saturday Evening Post! Friendly people, unique shops & pubs, small business owners you have known and trusted forever, and annual festivals and parades. Numerous friends from my graduating class of approximately 500 from Park Hill High still live in this community 25 years later. This community gracefully blends the spectrum of affluence better than any community I have seen. You will, most assuredly, feel welcome in Parkville, Missouri.
