Education is a key in Fenton
Situated just about 20 miles southwest of St. Louis’ core, Fenton is a community whose schools are a magnet. This small city of roughly 4,000 people is dotted with opportunities for outdoor recreation, shopping and dining, and home to a sizable industrial park. It’s also known for its two strong school systems — Lindbergh Schools and the Rockwood School District. Both are considered among the best systems in the state by Niche. “It has a tight community feel yet it is only a 10 to 15-minute drive to St. Louis,” says Realtor Stacey Fish of The Fish Group with Keller Williams Realty - STL, a lifelong resident of the region.

Established homes, still full of life
Most of Fenton’s homes were built from the 1960s through the 1990s, and they are a collection of mostly Craftsman, colonial and new traditional-style options. Many have been maintained well over time. Some houses top 4,000 and 5,000 square feet, but here stretch just under 2,000 square feet on average. “There are actually luxury homes. The most popular, though, are the good, middle-of-the-road homes,” Fish says. “Fenton is filled with established neighborhoods.” San Simeon Estates, for example, has well-kept homes built largely in the late 1980s, while Wintergreen Estates offers spacious new traditional houses built in the late 1990s. Most of the city’s housing is north of Missouri State Route 30, and many properties include relatively sizable yards, part of lots that are often about a fifth of an acre or more. Houses in Fenton sell for an average of about $357,000, an increase of 7% year over year, but 35% less than the national average. Listings sell after an average of 28 days, which is also significantly quicker than the average nationwide. It’s common for homes to get multiple offers.

Fenton Logistics Park is responsible for myriad jobs
While Fenton residents can quickly commute to St. Louis for work, the city has its own industrial footprint. The Fenton Logistics Park has blossomed in recent years at the site of a Chrysler plant that closed in 2009. This 2 million-square-foot facility is home to several companies, from Amazon to Grey Eagle Distributors, a major beer distributor for the St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch. Fenton Logistics Park employs over 3,000 people, equivalent to 75% of the town’s population.

Meramec River is a magnet for recreation
Fenton sprawls out from a section of the 229-mile Meramec River, which provides opportunities outdoor recreation. The almost 100-acre Fenton City Park is by the river and has more than 15 athletic fields, a pair of basketball courts and multiple pavilions available for rent. The park is adjacent to the 18-hole Riverside Golf Club, a public course. People can also walk along either the 5-mile Meramec Greenway Trail or the Fenton Meramec Boardwalk. Winter Park, 3 miles south, provides direct river access, with a shoreline open to swimming, fishing and kayaking. Anglers can cast a line at the city’s 125-acre Fabick Nature Preserve, too, where there’s a pair of lakes a mile west of the river. Indoor recreation is available at the 71,000-square-foot RiverChase YMCA. which features an indoor water park, basketball courts, pickleball courts, cardio and strength equipment, and more.
The city has moderate weather, including warm summers and winters with an annual average of about 16 inches of snow. The area averages about 43 inches of total precipitation each year, and Fenton’s location by the Meramec River sometimes puts parts of the city at risk for flooding.
Many ball fields are enjoyed by teams in Fenton City Park.

Interstates 270, 55 and 44 provide links to St. Louis
Missouri State Route 30 is a connection to Interstate 270, which commuters can take to I-55 for drives up to St. Louis. “It’s an easy commute,” Fish says. I-44 is another option for reaching St. Louis, Missouri’s second-largest city. Those traveling farther out of town have the St. Louis Lambert International Airport about 20 miles north, via I-270, a facility that operates non-stop flights to more than 70 destinations. The 180-bed SSM Health St. Clare Hospital - Fenton is the closest major medical center, located on the town’s western outskirts just off State Route 141. The hospital includes a stroke center.

This is a stretch with big-box stores from Old Navy to Walmart and chain restaurants from McDonald’s to Olive Garden. More local options for food are available about 3 miles north, including Poor Richard’s, which Fish says is a staple.
