Peaceful, rural living south of St. Louis
The Village of East Carondelet was platted in 1872, and businesses began popping up soon after. Today, however, the neighborhood is mostly residential, other than a few town services like the neighborhood community center. But there’s plenty in neighboring areas, and downtown St. Louis is only 10 to 15 miles away. House hunters will also notice right off the bat the Village of Dupo cuts right through the middle of East Carondelet, giving it a unique geography, but providing easy access to Dupo’s amenities.

Getting around St. Clair County
There is limited public transportation in East Carondelet. Residents who live on the western half can catch the #3 bus on Water Street. Residents who live on the western half along State Street should consider that leaving this section of the neighborhood entails crossing a railroad yard that sometimes results in people getting “stuck” while waiting on multiple trains to pass, according to Frierdich. The regional St. Louis Downtown Airport is within 10 miles and St. Louis Lambert International Airport is within 25 miles.
There are various bridges that can be used to travel over the Mississippi River to St. Louis.
