An expanding exurb that’s still lighter on the wallet
Troy is a city that continues to grow as residential interest fans out to the St. Louis metro area’s northern and western outskirts. This Missouri community of about 14,600 is more suburban than urban, a place where yard space and quiet blocks are standard. Yet it’s also a community with an array of both local businesses and well-known chains. The housing options here range from homes built in the late 19th century to those built in recent years. The quality they share is that they tend to sell at prices that are cheaper on average than some other suburbs in the region. That is one of the biggest draws to the area. “You can get a bit more for your money in Troy,” says Realtor Angie Harness of Angie Harness Consulting by Keller Williams, who has 10 years of industry experience.

Housing market comes with opportunity
Troy’s pricing accessibility doesn’t preclude variety. Homebuyers can find everything from classic 19th century Victorians to midcentury ranch-style houses to modern new traditional options around this city, which is the seat of Lincoln County. The area’s older homes sell for $135,000 to $300,000, while newer houses typically cost $230,000 to $400,000. “I just sold a home that’s on 10 acres,” Harness says. “So then there’s the opportunity, if you want land, to be able to find land that is maybe more affordable than in St. Charles County.” Properties around Troy sell for $317,337 on average, about 42% less than the national average.

Toyota plant takes the lead in local industry
Manufacturing is a key part of the area’s economy, thanks largely to the city’s 550,000-square-foot Toyota Motor Manufacturing facility.

Exchange, a refrigerated foods logistics company, is another major company in Troy, employing over 300 people. There’s also a General Motors plant with nearly 4,600 employees in the city of Wentzville, 17 miles south.

Cuivre River State Park is comfortably close
Downtown Troy is just 4 miles from the Cuivre River State Park, which stretches roughly 6,400-acres. “There’s lots of beautiful hiking trails,” Harness says, and the 12 trails stretch more than 40 miles. The 55-acre Lake Lincoln is part of the park and includes a boat launch and a beach open to swimming. Anglers can catch bass and catfish in the lake. The 28-acre Kiwanis Park, which opened in 2021 thanks to a $500,000 grant, is closer to Troy’s downtown and features a playground, splash pad and a trail.
Troy is also home to the Lincoln County Fairgrounds, the site of the Lincoln County Fair. Each July the fair features food vendors, rides, horse shows, tractor pulls, live music and more. Other annual events in town include Night of 1,000 Stars, a holiday celebration complete with carolers, a tree lighting and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. Locals can expect seasonal weather at events like these in a region that swings from warm summers to cold winters.
