Unincorporated community less than 15 miles south of St. Louis
Affton is an area that blends rustic and urban. This is an unincorporated community with the footprint of a city — where homes come with sizable lawns shaded by an assortment of mature trees, but also where residents can quickly hop on the highway and reach the center of St. Louis in about 20 minutes. Home to about 20,400 people, Affton still has relatively accessible home prices, and there’s a variety of recreation opportunities in the area. “I think what I like about Affton is that it’s an established community,” says Hayley Tomazic, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty St. Louis and a St. Louis native. “It’s been very stable for a long time, and has some neat draws to it, including Tower Tee, which is a landmark golf driving range and par-3 course, with batting cages; 9 Mile Garden, which is a food truck park; and Grant’s Farm.

Grant’s Farm is practically next door
Less than 3 miles away, Grant’s Farm is a notable St. Louis attraction. Owned by the Busch family since the early 1900s it offers tours of the property’s mansion, more than 900 animals, a petting zoo and is the home of the Budweiser Clydesdales. “It’s a very unique, iconic St. Louis landmark,” Tomazic says. Mathilda-Welmering Park and Ohlendorf Park offer playgrounds and athletic fields. The Affton Community Center provides indoor recreation with a gymnasium, fitness center and walking track. The community center is available for fee, but it offers free memberships for eligible seniors and free walking from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday. Tower Tee Golf & Recreation is on the edge of Affton by the Village of Marlborough. The sports facility has a par 3 golf course, driving range and bocce ball courts.
The weather in the region can vary quite a bit. "We get all four season and get them at all the extremes," Tomazik says. Missouri has averaged 55 tornadoes a year since 2010, according to stats compiled by the Springfield News-Leader. St. Louis County, which Affton is part of, tests its tornado siren on the first Monday of every month.
