I'm looking into buying a home in La Belle, MO. and I was wondering if anyone had any information about the area? You know, like what are the utility companies used there, major employers, grocery stores, banks, etc. I hope someone can give me a little info about the area. Thanks

I can't help you much but when I looked for La Bella, Mo chamber of commerce it gave me this. It says La Bella Afton,MO so I am thinking this is where you want info. Here look at this Affton Chamber of Commerce. I can't find the newspaper but it might mean they don't do online papers. Good LUCK

are no big employers.... and to get one of the few non-farming jobs, you better be related to someone there....

nice area though..... everyone does watch everyone's back.... literally no crime.... nearly 100% white area... high school football teams and the weather are the biggest things in the news there.... if you are used to city life, you can will meet every single person in the county in literally no time... you might be a bit freaked out how quiet and lonely it can be if you are used to the city life....

if i remember right, La Belle has absolutely Nothing in it's city limits.... no grocery.... not even a convenience/gas station if i remember correctly... Canton is the nicest town for small things- convenience stores, nice grocery stores, very small college..... and La Belle isn't too far from Quincy Ill- which has nearly everything a big city has- Best Buy, Applebees, a full shopping mall, home depot, ect..... the other close town is Edina.... incredible church there.... grocery store and convenience store...
