Current Resident: We have been in Dardeene Prairie for 2 years now. We came West about 15 minutes. What drew us to Dardeene is the smaller town feel. The walking trails, well kept homes, and overall sense of community are what appealed to us. The location to the high way was ideal, but did not feel like we were on top of the high way. The location to work, school, and church were all ideal. Our neighbors were all very welcoming. We are pleased with our decision to move here.... Read 39 reviews

Current Resident: Cottleville is a quaint little town right by St. Peters, MO. Historic Cottleville is so cute and has been expanding with many cute little shops being added in. Around 50% of the residents in Cottleville have invested in golf carts in order to go to parks or ice cream shops around the area. St. Charles Community College is right down the block from all of the fun, so students looking for a cheaper college option should look into SCC because there are so many attractions around the campus....

Current Resident: I absolutely love living in Lake Saint Louis! I’ve lived here for about 12 years, and lived in multiple houses in the city. With every house came outstanding neighbors, and beautiful views. The environment here is friendly and welcoming. I’ve also lived in many other cities, and no city is as good as Lake Saint Louis. Truly, if you are thinking about moving here, it’s a great decision. Additionally, the schools are wonderful.... Read 31 reviews

Parent: i have two kids at TCS, now 7th and 8th grade, and both have been there since pre K. TCS offers a rigorous curriculum integrated into a unique, one of a kind in the area outdoor, adventure, and experiential education program. Experienced and dedicated teachers. Great facilities and equipment including outdoor gear and a second campus at the LaBarque conservation area. The adventure education experiences give students an unmatched sense of accomplishment in overcoming challenges of the outdoor, "real world" classroom. This prepared my kids to be leaders and face future challenges, both in education and in life, in a way that is just not possible with only teaching in the classroom. The outdoor classroom concept does amazing things. We love TCS!... Read 13 reviews

Current Resident: As someone stated below, I am truly blessed to be a resident of Ofallon MO. My kids are in one of the decent school districts - Ft Zumwalt - which is not over rated like many others in STL but produces amazing alumni every year. I live near the Hwy K-N area which has everything you name - be it dance school, banquet halls, entertainments, auto body shops, eateries, hospitals, groceries, software industries such as Mastercard, affordable yet great housing communities. I was lucky to strike a house deal in the hot center of Hwy K/N during COVID whose price is now beyond equity. The neighbors are extremely loving and immigrant friendly. I am blessed again!...

Current Resident: I really like how the city has a lot of community opportunities for classes ranging from fine arts to STEM to tax filing education. The resources around the town are abundant for the city residents and the city is well maintained by the public works. The public school system is also very good in terms of providing quality education to the youth given the times that we are in. However, the teachers providing the education could be better supported in their job. They should not have to pay out of pocket for their classrooms given the affluence of the city and yet, they still do. The local government is still run by those who remember the town when it had one stoplight and are outstaying their welcome in their position. Overall, I have had a decent experience growing up here.... Read 145 reviews

Current Resident: The town is great for finding restaurants and family-friendly activities, however, homes are expensive and life tends to be more rural. Education is quite good and the town is safe and clean. The biggest issue is finding something to do as nightlife is nonexistent. There are very few restaurants that stay open late or activities that can be done after 10 pm. Personally, I find it a good place to settle down with a family. This is not the town for someone who wants to live a life full of excitement.... Read 9 reviews

Niche User: We actually just had a great example take place. Early this year (March-May), we did have a couple houses in the area that were broken in too. The local police were very prompt in dealing with the issues. They started regular patrols (at different times) and offered to drive by houses that weren't regularly occupied - we had them do this when we went on a vacation. Since the thieves have been caught (or at least I am assuming they've been caught as there have been no issues since and there hasn't been any talk of it either) the police have continued a semi-regular patrol and our area has been quite safe I feel....

Current Resident: It is a nice place to live. We are about 30 minutes from down town so Cardinals games are just a short drive away. We live close enough to the country where it does not seem like we only have concrete and over crowded buildings all around us. We live in walking distance to three different parks which is a huge bonus because we have children. We actually moved to Ofallon due to their amazing school district. We have a child with special needs and it is nice to have the piece of mind knowing that all the social and educational needs are met. I would recommend 10/10 for new and upcoming families to move here. Our street is quiet and our neighbors are friendly. Most everyone has small kids so its nice because it feels like we are all on the same schedules. LOL All in all I love where we live, my in laws live 5 minutes from us as does my sister and brother in law so we all are able to get together quickly and for all kinds of events and family outings, don't look any further....

Parent: Parent of two students - one current, one just graduated. More than a school: a "community" we've been a part of since Kindergarten. Gotten better each year, and reassuring to see our kids go and leave school happy and enthusiastic every day! Very attentive, creative and engaged faculty and administration. Positive and supportive faith and values based environment. Hard to do everything as a smaller school, but what they do, they do exceptionally well. Small classes lead to a great learning environment, but naturally challenge extracurriculars and athletics. Excellent art and STEM. Interesting diversity from international students. Buildings and grounds are in great shape and constantly being improved. Our graduate will be attending one of the most competitive private HS in the region, and totally ready to go! Looking forward to launching #2. We are happy every day that we made the right decision 10 years ago. WES lives up to "Kind. Confident. Prepared." in every way.... Read 27 reviews
