CenturyLink Internet starts at $45/mo in Winfield, Missouri

If you just moved to Winfield from a big city like St. Louis, Jefferson City, or Kansas City, you might be tempted to laugh at Winfield's description as "a city with compassion for people." After all, until this point, your experiences with cities have been less than ideal: endless traffic jams and honking horns, long lines at grocery stores and rec centers, high utility fees, and overcrowded apartments would turn anyone off city life for good.

But before you raise your eyebrows at Winfield's idealism, take a look around and see just how willingly the city welcomes you with open arms. Start by checking out Winfield's new residents guide, where you can find information on taxes, business permits, and setting up your online profile to easily access all the city's services. Walk down Main Street while the sun sets through the trees. Enjoy an early seafood dinner at Anchor Restaurant, or spend a lazy afternoon watching the eagles dive along the Mississippi River, and you'll see why it's so easy to feel compassionate and calm here.

Of course, downsizing from an urban center to a thousand-person town shouldn't require you to surrender the perks of modern life—which is why Winfield makes it easy to access phone, TV, and high-speed internet services through CenturyLink. With a little help from Winfield's sites and sounds, plus fast in-home entertainment, your bad memories of big-city life will soon be a thing of the past.
