A small town with burgeoning appeal
Foristell is a small Missouri city whose rural setting is a canvas for development. The community of less than 600 is growing. About 47 miles – a 45 minute drive – northwest of St. Louis, the available land has attracted new construction, and newcomers can benefit from well-regarded area schools. “It’s all about location and opportunity,” says Realtor Angie Harness of Angie Harness Consulting by Keller Williams, who has 10 years of industry experience. And though there’s not an abundance of businesses here, the city is only 5 miles from the amenities in neighboring Wentzville.
The City of Foristell is centered just off interstate 70.

Homes come in multiple settings
Foristell’s population has grown a tad more than 66% since 2000, based on the most recent census data. As the city continues to blossom, homebuyers can still find rustic properties on multiple acres, some dating back to the mid-20th century. “There are a lot more rural areas in Foristell,” Harness says. “So if you’re looking for more land, I think there’s more opportunity there.” The availability of land has also made Foristell a site for new development, like the Manors at Liberty subdivision. The houses in the Manors at Liberty neighborhood have smaller lots but were built over the last couple of years. Older options in the city go for $225,000 to $750,000, while new construction sells for $260,000 to $650,000. Houses across the city sell for an average of $506,737, about 8% less than the national average.

General Motors powers thousands of nearby jobs

The facility has almost 4,600 employees and received a recent $1.5 billion investment to manufacture mid-size trucks. There’s also an Amazon facility just under 25 miles east in St. Peters, which employs 5,000 people.

School districts vary, based on the county
The eastern half of Foristell falls within St. Charles County and the western half is part of Warren County. That means students to the east attend schools in the Wentzville School District, which has an A grade on Niche, and those on the west enter the C-plus-rated Wright City R-II School District. The districts, with their varying boundaries, often play a part in home seekers’ search, Harness says. The Wentzville district has roughly 17,700 students and 20 traditional schools covering kindergarten to 12th grade, while the Wright City system has 1,800 students with four schools across kindergarten to 12th grade.

Oglesby Park is loaded with history
Foristell is home to the nearly 200-acre Oglesby Park, which opened in 2022. The space is named after Benjamin Oglesby, who escaped slavery in 1864 before joining the Union Army. Oglesby later bought 146 acres of land that now makes up the park, which he farmed for 30 years. Oglesby Park features an expansive playground area, trails and a lake that’s open to fishing.
Closeby Rotary Park in Wentzville stretches 72 acres, with a playground, a mile-long trail, an amphitheater, three pavilions and an exhibit hall. Rotary Park hosts multiple events, including the St. Charles County Fair in July and the St. Louis Renaissance Festival. The Renaissance Festival runs for multiple weeks from mid-September to late October. It attracts almost a million visitors for various food vendors, games, music, an Oktoberfest celebration and more. “It draws people from all over the world,” Harness says. “It’s huge.” Outdoor activities like these are feasible for much of the year thanks to the area’s moderate weather, including warm summers and chilly winters.
