Multiple generations enjoying a taste of St. Louis County’s past
The origins of St. John date back to the 1800s, and the historic village charm of the area can still be felt today — even after its incorporation as a city. St. John provides the signature, quiet feel that makes northwestern St. Louis County’s municipalities so well-loved while offering lower prices than areas such as St. Ann or Olivette. “People tend to stay close to where they started, other than sometimes to go to St. Charles,” says Karen Poole of Coldwell Banker, an agent with several sales throughout northwestern St. Louis County. “You get to know the people in the area and want to stay.”

A mix of home styles north of St. Charles Rock Road
Houses are concentrated north of St. Charles Rock Road and west of Interstate 170. Architectural styles range from mid-century ranch-style homes to 1930s bungalows, but a few recent builds are sprinkled in where there were once vacant lots. Maple and willow trees line the streets, so narrow sidewalks are covered with a blanket of vibrant leaves in autumn. “St. John has great housing value. That’s really the main reason people are interested in the whole north county area,” Poole says. “It has a business road, St. Charles Rock Road, but besides that main road, it’s all residential. They have some parks, but they don’t have a pool like Woodson Terrace.” On average, two-bedroom homes range from $75,000 to $120,000, while three-bedroom properties can range from about $155,000 to $225,000.

Access to the Ritenour district and nearby private schools
Students can attend the Ritenour district, starting with Marvin Elementary, a school receiving a C-minus grade from Niche and offering an Elementary Honors Orchestra program. From here, they can transition to C-minus-graded Ritenour Middle and C-plus-graded Ritenour High, which has a 76% graduation rate. For private schools, options like Christian Academy of Greater St. Louis and Incarnate Word Academy are within a 5-mile radius.

Ramps to Interstate 170 and Natural Bridge Road
For local travel, St. Charles Rock Road is the main route through St. Louis County, just as it has been since the 1770s. Downtown St. Louis is a 15-mile ride down Interstate 170 and Interstate 70, and ramps to the highways are right in the neighborhood, close to the Costco Business Center and other industrial properties in St. John’s eastern corner. For public transit, bus lines head to the North Hanley MetroLink station. When traveling outside Missouri, the entrance is just a few miles down Natural Bridge Road — a thoroughfare bordering the northernmost part of St. John.

Unity Park and other community green spaces
St. John Park, in the heart of the community, is one of the most frequented green spaces. The park’s pavilion is often used for birthday parties and family reunions, while the playground and walking trail are popular destinations in the evening and on Saturday mornings. Unity Park, one of the smallest green spaces around, is the newest recreational space in St. John, at the corner of Hume Avenue and Walton Road, just a blocks from the larger and more activity-focused Home Heights Park. Meant as a place of reflection, not recreation, Unity Park is a carefully landscaped and inconspicuous pocket park with birdhouses and benches along a gravel path.

Grabbing a bite at the drive-in or picking up basics at Schnucks
Businesses are concentrated along St. Charles Rock Road. Schnucks, Rainbow Shops and GameStop are a few shopping options in St. John Crossing, but there are more options about 5 miles away in St. Ann. For dining out, Chuck-A-Burger offers the old-school drive-in experience at its original 1950s restaurant, and Mi Hungry BBQ serves Jamaican favorites in a casual eatery with a smoker right on its patio.
