The downtown area is great and there is very little crime. It is a great community. Some of the bars and restaurants downtown are perfect for a night on the town. The schools are great with kids and provide a very solid education, especially the high school, but some of the elementary schools are really starting to show their age. The housing market in O'Fallon is better than ever with many commercial developments in the surrounding area, bringing up housing value. The community is mostly made up of white families, however, there is still a prevalent black community. The diversity could be better, though. There are not many career opportunities in O'Fallon, but there are many menial jobs that would make great jobs for students in high school. Most of the careers are located in St. Louis which is not ideal because the commute can take over an hour during rush hour around twenty minutes without traffic. Overall O'Fallon is a thriving community and a wocerful place to raise a family.
I have lived in a well diverse community in O'Fallon, Il for 11 years now urban. I came from an urban community that was full of crime and violence. I didn't want to raise my son in that type of environment. I'm glad I made that choice because everyone get along and or civil with each other regardless of their skin color. I'm thankful to live in a community full of amenities to keep us busy and not bored during the pandemic.
I've lived in O'fallon for 20 years and its a nice town overall. Property cost is high, but the schools are great, the park systems are fantastic and the downtown is being revitalized. While not the most night life oriented, or diverse in population, it is close enough to St Louis to offer opportunities for everyone. It is also near Scott Air Force Base, which brings in a unique, ever changing sect of people to the area.
