Questions

Common questions.

Where does Poplar Bluff get its name?

The city is named for the tulip poplars that grew on a natural bluff overlooking the Black River.

Are sinkholes and flood zones a concern for Missouri homebuyers?

Missouri DNR reports more than 16,000 known sinkholes, and says sinkholes can damage home foundations and are hard to predict. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood, and FEMA reports almost one-third of flood insurance claims come from outside high-risk zones. Buyers in the Ozarks should check both the sinkhole history and the property's FEMA flood zone.
