Suburban living with plenty to explore
Ballwin offers a suburban atmosphere that shuns the mundane. Instead, this community just over 20 miles west of St. Louis is surrounded by attractions, whether someone wants to go hiking in the area’s Castlewood State Park, golfing at the municipal course, thrill seeking at Six Flags or exploring at the interactive Magic House children's museum. All-ages recreation is readily available, whether outdoors or indoors. “There’s so much to do, and so much going on,” Realtor and St. Louis-area native Maggie Bradford of Keller Williams Realty West. “People are always trying to find more things to do.” This city of about 31,000 provides residents with their own selection of close-by spots for shopping and dining and is just south of Interstate 64, a quick connection to the amenities of St. Louis. Homeownership here is high, and there’s a wide mix of options to choose from, too.

Green space is ingrained in this area
Castlewood State Park spans more than 1,800 acres just 4 miles south of Ballwin’s core. “It’s a great park,” Bradford says. “Lots of greenery.” The park features multiple trails, open to not just hiking and biking but also horseback riding. The Castlewood Loop Trail is one of the longest at the park at more than 5 miles and is known in part for being a good stretch for bird watching. Part of the 229-mile Meramec River runs by Castlewood, too, providing opportunities for anglers to catch bass, bluegill, catfish and more. Residents who want to stay a bit closer to home have the 31-acre Vlasis Park in the middle of town. Vlasis has two fish-filled ponds of its own, tennis courts, a ball field, a sand volleyball court and a playground that’s in the process of being replaced by one with features that make it inclusive for kids with a range of abilities. The city also has the Ballwin Golf Course, a 9-hole municipal course that hosts a bevy of tournaments annually. Locals can enjoy outdoor attractions as weather allows — the area is known to experience each of the four seasons, from warm summers to snowy winters. The average high temperature in June is 80 degrees, and the city averages about 19 inches of snow annually. Also, like much of the Midwest, the area is at risk of tornadoes, particularly during the spring. The Magic House is an indoor option that kids love, Bradford says, just 10 miles east in St. Louis. It's where they can climb a Jack and the Beanstalk sculpture or create a gadget from recycled materials in the STEAM Center.

Quiet neighborhoods full of diverse choices
Ballwin’s homes date back to the mid-20th century, but many have been well-kept, regardless of age. And those who want modern options have plenty to choose from as well — there are a lot of houses in town built from the 1990s and on, most situated on the city’s south side. Ranch-style houses and New Traditional options are the most prevalent architectural styles. Properties tend to come with yard space. Homes in Ballwin are selling for just over $400,000 on average, which is about $100,000 more than the average for St. Louis and is up 7% year over year. But homes sell after just 23 days on the market on average, more than 20 days quicker than the national average. The homeownership rate in Ballwin is 83.9%, compared to the statewide ownership rate of 68.8%. Also, Ballwin is considered relatively safe with a population-adjusted violent crime rate of 38.1 per 100,000 people, according to the FBI's Crime Data Explorer. That is significantly less than the city of St. Louis’ rate of 227.1 and the state of Missouri’s rate of 121.8 during the same period.

Health care has a major footprint
Ballwin is largely suburban, but the wider St. Louis area is known to have numerous jobs in industries such as health care and manufacturing. In fact, according to the 2024 Missouri Economic Report, health care and social assistance accounted for more than 190,000 jobs in the region in 2023 and manufacturing accounted for almost 100,000. Ballwin is close to three major hospitals — the 460-bed St. Luke’s Hospital, the 422-bed Missouri Baptist Medical Center and the 859-bed Mercy Hospital St. Louis — all within 9 miles. Services at St. Luke’s and Missouri Baptist range from cancer care to neurology. Mercy Hospital has four intensive care units. Also, with half a dozen major railroad services running through it, St. Louis is considered one of the country’s largest railroad hubs. This contributes to the area's manufacturing and distribution center jobs.

Roller coasters and craft beer
Six Flags St. Louis is less than 15 miles southwest of Ballwin. “Six Flags is super fun, and they have seasonal events,” Bradford says. Fright Fest is one of Six Flags’ major annual events, offering haunted houses, an oddball funhouse, after-dark rides and more from mid-September to early November. Ballwin Days Festival has been held yearly since 1978. The festival unites the community for a weekend of community fun over the summer. It’s traditionally held in Vlasis Park and features amusement rides, food and music. Vlasis Park is also home to the Ballwin Craft Beer Festival, a local favorite that includes live music and unlimited tasting.

Getting around Ballwin
While Ballwin isn’t filled with noisy interstates, getting around isn’t too tough. Route 100 is the city’s busiest road. It’s where residents can find MetroBus stops, which provide routes into St. Louis and around the city. Interstate 64 is 5 miles north of Route 100 and can take drivers straight into St. Louis, a 22-mile trip. St. Louis Lambert International Airport is about 20 miles away northeast of Ballwin and offers domestic and international flights, with direct flights to more than 70 destinations. Spirit of St. Louis Airport is closer to the city, less than 9 miles away, but is a general aviation facility that doesn’t offer commercial flights.
