Overall, I believe that O’Fallon is an amazing community. It manages to provide access to a larger city such as St. Louis while simultaneously remaining insulated from the hustle and bustle of the city. For this reason specifically it is an amazing spot to raise children and start a family. While it may not be a booming metropolis, it certainly has a sense of charm to it and remains an excellent spot for those looking to settle down. The town is also incredibly welcoming for military families, as it is located quite closely to Scott Air Force Base and maintains a welcoming community of both current military members and retired ones who have chosen to settle down there. Overall, it is an amazing small town and can act as a nice, calming place for those looking to relax and settle down.
All of the people complaining about lack of activities are missing the whole point of living in this area and in the midwest in general. You're supposed to buy a big enough house and have enough activities in your own yard to keep you entertained. For people looking for a great place to raise a family, you can't find much better in the stl metro. If you are yiung, single and want things to do, it isn't the town that's to blame, just a personal preference and you can pick a different town to live in that fits them.
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.
