An eclectic Illinois community 15 miles from St. Louis
Collinsville is a community known in large part for a couple of condiments — the area holds the distinction of being both the horseradish capital of the world and the site of the world’s largest catsup bottle. But, those novelties aside, locals looking to buy a house in the area are attracted by the bang for their buck they can get here. “You tend to get more square footage for a lower price and lower property tax than some other areas,” says Realtor and longtime St. Louis-area resident Jake Kline of Dream Homes with Jake, brokered by EXP Realty. And as close as this southwestern Illinois city of a little more than 24,000 is to St. Louis, just 15 miles away, Collinsville boasts a collection of its own restaurants, retail stores, outdoor attractions and job opportunities, making it more than a bedroom community.

Midcentury homes are predominant, but variety abounds
The majority of houses in Collinsville date back to the mid-20th century, including mostly bungalows, ranch-style houses and colonials. However, it has everything from 19th century homes to those built in recent years. And the houses here come at a wide range of prices, based on factors like condition and age. “There are homes for $20 to $30,000, while others go from $200 to 300,000 dollars or more,” Kline says. “It’s buyer-specific.” Homes in town come with lots of about one-fifth of an acre or more in a lot of cases, enough for a good bit of front and back yard space. Collinsville homes are selling for $192,683 on average, up 6% year over year but 36% less than average prices across the Missouri River in St. Louis and 65% less than the national average. In turn, first-time home buyers are among the clients drawn to Collinsville, Kline says.

Collinsville carries its own commercial footprint
While the commute isn’t intensive, living in Collinsville and working in St. Louis isn’t a given for residents. Collinsville has its own major employers — Woods Basement Systems and Walmart are among them, Kline says. Woods Basement Systems is one of the largest basement and foundation contractor companies across Illinois and Missouri. There are two Walmart locations in town. Collinsville’s reputation as the horseradish capital of the world comes from the fact that the area grows 65% to 85% of the world’s horseradish crop, across several local farms. The region’s sandy soil is conducive to growing the plant.

Highways lead to Collinsville’s commercial hub
The most packed collection of restaurants and other businesses in town comes at the confluence of Interstate 55 and Illinois Route 157, two of the area’s major roads. The corridor has an assortment of fast-food favorites and big-box chains, and multiple hotels. Collinsville recently received almost $650,000 in funding through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program to add electric vehicle charging stations at one of those hotels, the La Quinta Inn & Suites. More big-box retailers are available to the north in the Lakeside Plaza shopping center off Beltline Road.
Uptown Collinsville, which has Main Street at its core, is a hub of local businesses. “More quaint, homestyle type of stuff. A lot of local bars,” Kline says. “I get my hair cut there.” Another of the city’s food-related attractions is the world’s largest catsup bottle, which is actually a 170-foot-tall water tower along Illinois Route 159 decorated as a bottle of Brooks catsup. Brooks was once bottled at a now defunct plant here, and the brand’s product is now available on only a limited basis. But the water tower is on the National Register of Historic Places “A lot of people come and take pictures of it,” Kline says.
