A St. Louis County municipality along the Meramec River
Bordered by the Meramec River and Highway 141, Valley Park combines the natural beauty of rural Missouri with the commuter-friendly convenience of suburban life. Though the residential parts of the neighborhood are divided by train tracks and industrial buildings, most homes and apartment complexes are surrounded by mature trees and even undeveloped, grassy lots, making it easy to forget that national retailers are less than 5 miles away. “Valley Park is close to 141, but it’s also really close to Ballwin, so you can get that luxury of Ballwin area for a little less cost,” says Danni Hauer Lowenstein of Red Key Realty West, an agent with a decade of experience with the St. Louis market.
The Meramec River is on the southern boundry of Valley Park.
The historic Valley Park Elevator sits at the heart of this community.

Space to spread out 20 miles from downtown St. Louis
Valley Park includes condos, villas and single-family homes. Some homes date back to the 1930s, but many homes popped up in the 1990s and early 2000s when the population rose from about 4,000 to over 6,500. Properties of varied architecture and size sit closest to the river, along uniformly designed streets, while master-planned subdivisions sit to the west of the train tracks. “It’s a good area for moderately sized and priced single-family homes, and it is pretty: you get a yard, you get space. It’s definitely a family-oriented area,” Hauer Lowenstein says. Turnkey two-bedroom houses with less than 1,000 square feet cost between $120,000 and $200,000, and three-bedroom homes with closer to 1,500 square feet range from $220,000 to $300,000. For over 2,000 square feet, prices can reach up to $450,000. Condo units and villas typically cost less than $350,000, with two-bed units in communities like Country Stone Manor starting around $160,000.

Valley Park School District and Apprende Private School
Valley Park has its own district, and all its schools are housed on the same campus off Highway 141. Students can start at Valley Park Elementary, which receives a B-minus from Niche, and transition to Valley Park Middle, a B-plus school. From here, they can graduate from Valley Park High School, an A-minus school with a 92% graduation rate offering career training courses like business law and finance. Apprende Private School is also located in Valley Park, but its campus serves less than 20 students across all grade levels each year.
Taking Highway 141 and Interstate 44 throughout the county
Interstate 44 connects Valley Park to downtown St. Louis in about 20 miles, and ramps to the interstate are just across the river in Peerless Park. While there’s no public transit for getting around town, Highway 141 connects the neighborhood to shopping hubs in Manchester and medical care at SSM Health St. Clare Hospital. For trips out of Missouri, the St. Louis Lambert International Airport is 20 miles north, most easily reached via Interstate 270.
Big store chains such as Costco and Walmart can be found north of Valley Park.
Restaurants north of Big Bend Road and stores in nearby Ballwin
The nearest restaurants and entertainment spots are concentrated north of Big Bend Road. “The Corner Pub is a really popular restaurant in that area, and there’s Bowelero where people go for work parties,” Hauer Lowenstein says. A trip to Ballwin or Manchester is a must for most shopping needs. About 5 miles away, Ballwin features a Target and Schnucks, and Manchester includes a Costco Wholesale and Walmart Supercenter.
The Corner Pub is a bustling dinner spot in Valley Park.
Valley Park residents head west on Manchester to find a Target and other shopping in Ballwin.

Exploring the lake and green space at Simpson Park
Valley Park’s outdoor recreation is concentrated in the southeast corner of the neighborhood, right along the river. Simpson Park is the largest green space in the community and includes a fishing lake alongside its playground and trails. Also at the park are trailheads to the Meramec Greenway, a recently extended path that branches out to Kirkwood and other nearby cities. Golf lovers of all ages visit Family Golf and Learning Center, a driving range with a PGA Junior League just east of Simpson Park.

A church with a noteworthy appearance along Forest Avenue
Sacred Heart Catholic Church is one of the most eye-catching buildings in Valley Park, as its Romanesque architecture sits at the corner of Forest Avenue and Highway 141. Built in the early 1900s, the church has remained a community hub for over a century, and the parish now hosts sustainability fairs, young adult ministries and Knights of Columbus meetings.
