A suburban community just south of St. Louis
Just across the Meramec River from St. Louis County, Arnold, which is also its own city, is a thriving suburban community. With a convenient location about 18 miles southwest of downtown St. Louis, this city is popular for both its "small-town atmosphere" and abundant parks. Pockets of protected nature where residents can spend time outdoors range "from rolling hills and green trees to beautiful waterways like the Meramec and Mississippi Rivers," says Arnold Mayor Ron Counts. First incorporated in 1972, the city is situated right along Interstate 55, so "it feels close to everything in the greater St. Louis area," Counts says. Despite being known as "the economic hub of Jefferson County," Arnold still maintains a family-friendly feel. Arnold has its own schools, stores and government, all located nearby, as well as a recreation center that offers programs in fitness and athletics for the community. "It's the kind of place where neighborhood barbecues and school carnivals still fill the weekends and evenings," Counts says. With parks and rivers nearby, great shopping centers around the corner and highly-rated schools, Arnold is a welcoming community conveniently located near the city.
Affordable homes and lots in Jefferson County
With an average sales price of about $256,000, homes in Arnold and Jefferson County cost significantly less than the rest of the greater St. Louis area and about $200,000 less than the national average. Homebuyers will find tidy subdivisions of single-family homes and custom-built properties spread throughout the rolling hills of Arnold to the west of Interstate 55. Townhouses that are around 1,000 square feet sell for just over $100,000, while ranch-style and split-level homes that are anywhere from 1,500 square feet sell for $150,000 to nearly $300,000. Homes with more space are also available. Newly constructed traditional-style homes around 1,500 to 3,000 square feet range from $300,000 to just about $500,000. If homebuyers want to build a dream home of their own, 1/3-acre plots are available from $25,000 to $50,000.
Schools in the Fox C-6 School District
Students in Arnold are fortunate to have plenty of options for attending school, with six elementary schools and two middle schools in the city. One school younger students can attend is Fox Elementary, which receives a B-minus rating from the educational review site Niche. Students can then attend Fox Middle, which boasts a student-teacher ratio of 13-to-1 and also receives a B-minus rating. Older students can attend Fox Senior High School, which receives a C-plus rating and offers an abundance of after-school activities for students to pursue their hobbies, like an astronomy club, a gardening club and a Dungeons & Dragons club.

Easy access to downtown St. Louis through I-55
Although Arnold is outside St. Louis County, the commute into downtown St. Louis is only about 18 miles. With Interstate 55 so close, driving into the city takes less than 20 minutes. Luckily for those in Arnold, Interstate 55 doesn't get quite as congested as Interstate 64, St. Louis' major east-west artery, so commuting to Arnold doesn't take a lot of time or create too many big headaches. Residents also benefit from having convenient access to several major highways, including State Routes 141 and 231 and Highways 61 and 55, in case they need to get to any surrounding areas. For the closest hospital, residents can head about ten miles away to Missouri Baptist Healthcare, and, for the closest airport, St. Louis Downtown Airport is about twenty miles away along Interstate 255.
Shopping and dining along Jeffco Boulevard
Shopping is kept convenient for Arnold residents with a collection of major stores and shopping centers along Jeffco Boulevard toward the center of the community. Koel Branson, a Realtor with Elevate Realty, explains that there’s “lots to eat and shop in the rolling hills of Arnold.” Here, residents can find just about anything they might need, including a Walmart, Lowe’s, Petco and Diergbergs, a popular local chain of family-owned grocery stores, all nearby. Residents can also find a movie theater, the Marcus Arnold Cinema, here. For something to eat, residents can stop by Bellacino's Pizza and Grinders, a local, kid-friendly chain known for its pizzas and oversized sandwiches. Stained glass lamps and a modest interior give this local spot a family-friendly, retro feel.

Getting outdoors near the Meramec and Mississippi Rivers
With both the Meramec and Mississippi Rivers close by, as well as the rambling Ozark countryside, there are a plethora of options for getting outdoors in Arnold, from hiking and biking to fishing and paddling.

With a playground, horseshoe pits and multipurpose fields, Arnold City Park has something for everyone. Ferd B. Lang Park also offers a playground, grass fields and hiking trails, as well as facilities for playing horseshoes, volleyball and basketball.
