Lake St. Louis, MO

Lake St. Louis is a St. Charles County city built around a planned lake community west of St. Louis. The original vision was a weekend resort with a lake large enough for recreation and a location close enough to the city for easy access. That plan still shapes the city's identity: water, subdivisions, clubs, and suburban growth all sit at the center of local life. Today Lake St. Louis is part of the expanding western St. Louis metro, with shopping, jobs, and recreation layered around its lake-focused beginnings.
