Property records identify a well for water service and a septic tank for wastewater. Electricity is identified in the property details, while area-level utility information for Rolla is provided separately below.

Buyer Area Research

The property is located in the Rolla area of Phelps County, Missouri. Because the home is identified with a County Road address and private well and septic systems, city-level services and amenities should be considered as area resources rather than as confirmation of services at the property itself.

Area Overview

Rolla is the county seat of Phelps County and had an estimated population of 20,588 as of July 1, 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The 2020 Census recorded 19,943 residents.

The corresponding reported rates were 373.9 violent offenses and 2,539.9 property offenses per 100,000 residents. These figures describe the city as a whole and should not be interpreted as measurements of conditions at this individual property.

For historical context, the same source reports Rolla’s violent-crime rate at 589.6 per 100,000 in 2020, 492.2 in 2021, 565.9 in 2022, 341.0 in 2023, and 373.9 in 2024. Property-crime rates for those years were 4,331.9, 3,343.2, 3,390.6, 3,166.7, and 2,539.9 respectively.

Because no verified property-to-facility travel distance is established here, healthcare facilities are presented as area resources rather than with unsupported drive-time estimates.

Housing Market History

For a consistent historical market measure, the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s annual All-Transactions House Price Index for Phelps County provides a county-level index using 2000 as the base year. The series is a measure of house-price movement rather than a direct estimate of this property’s value.

The index increased from 171.44 in 2021 to 238.09 in 2025, a cumulative increase of approximately 38.9% over that period. The FHFA notes that annual county indexes are developmental and may be revised as additional data and technical adjustments become available.

For current Rolla-area context, Zillow reported a typical Rolla home value of $243,244 as of August 31, 2026, with a 4.5% one-year change. Zillow also reported a July 2026 median sale price of $267,167. These current figures cover the surrounding Rolla market and are not estimates of the subject property’s value.

The city also operates recreation programs and facilities including the Ber Juan Sportsplex, SplashZone, community facilities, athletic areas, playgrounds, and other outdoor resources.

Utilities & Connectivity

The property itself is identified with well water and a septic tank. Those property-specific systems should be distinguished from municipal utility availability elsewhere in the Rolla area.

Within the City of Rolla, Rolla Municipal Utilities provides electric and water service, while the city also provides information concerning trash and sewer services. The city notes that natural-gas service is provided through Ameren UE. These municipal services do not establish that they serve this rural property.

For internet and cellular service, availability can vary by exact address and provider infrastructure. Buyers should verify current broadband and cellular options directly with individual providers before making a service decision.

Development & Planning

Rolla has active municipal infrastructure and planning activity. The city’s 2026 construction schedule includes Little Oaks Road improvements, Rolla Street storm-sewer improvements, asphalt maintenance, sanitary-sewer maintenance, and MoDOT bridge rehabilitation projects.

City planning documents also show ongoing consideration of residential development. An April 2026 Planning & Zoning Commission packet included a final-plat application for Audubon Ridge, a proposed multi-family development creating 43 lots. The city’s planning process requires subdivision and rezoning requests to proceed through the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council as applicable.

These projects and planning matters concern the broader Rolla area and are not presented as changes to this property’s land use, zoning, access, or future value.
