A suburban St. Louis alternative
Whether work or play, there’s a way for someone to find their niche in Saint Peters. This sprawling city of 57,700 is perched just across the Missouri River from St. Louis. The population jumped 10% from 2010 to 2020, and buyers are attracted to the well-rated public schools, says Darci McAfee, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties who has lived in the city almost 20 years. St. Peters also has multiple major employers, a mix of indoor and outdoor recreation options, and the largest mall in St. Charles County, all with housing prices a bit cheaper than those seen across the county. “Since St. Peters stretches between the main thoroughfares of Interstate 70 all the way to I-64, and also the Page Extension, I think it is mostly people who want a more suburban feel, who have easy access to St. Louis,” McAfee says.
St. Peters is home to a hardworking group of city employees who take pride in their community.

New homes in Cottages at Wedgewood
Most homes around St. Peters were constructed in the mid-20th century and later. Buyers can find midcentury ranch-styles in subdivisions like Steeplechase and Hi Point Acres, with price tags from $200,000 to $350,000. The newest homes can be found in the Cottages at Wedgewood and Village Point subdivision, going between $300,000 and $500,000. St. Peters has a fair share of condos and connected villa-style homes for $130,000 to $350,000. “There’s something for everyone, really. There are some great first-time homebuyer opportunities,” says Realtor Angie Harness of Keller Williams Chesterfield, who has roughly a dozen years of industry experience.
St. Peters’ median list price of $310,000 is less than the median of close to $400,000 across St. Charles County and the rest of the country, according to data compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. “St. Peters, because it does not have the same percentage of brand-new construction, trends a little bit lower,” McAfee says.

Three school districts cover St. Peters based on address
St. Peters’ reputation for good schools comes from three different districts: the Francis Howell and Fort Zumwalt school districts, which both have A ratings on Niche, and the B-plus-rated City of St. Charles School District. Fort Zumwalt covers northern and western portions of the city, St. Charles serves a northeastern portion, and Francis Howell covers the rest. All three have average student-teacher ratios of 15-to-1 or less.

370 Lakeside Park is the largest facility of its kind in the county
Spanning across 500 acres, 370 Lakeside Park, in Kampville , is the largest in the county, featuring a lake that allows fishing and boating, a dog park and archery range. The park is a community hub, hosting the Sunset Concert Series on select Fridays and Saturdays from May to September. St. Peters’ 236,000-square-foot Rec-Plex offers access to multiple indoor pools, gymnasiums, cardio and weight rooms, and an ice rink for a fee. “We have a ton of parks,” McAfee says. “And most school-aged children have access to soccer- and baseball-type programs.”
The region sees all four seasons and can be prone to tornadoes — Missouri has averaged 55 of them a year since 2010, according to data from the Springfield News-Leader. One of those hit St. Peters in June of 2015.
