The City of Saint Charles

I can’t fit everything I love about Saint Charles in here so I give you a quick view. I have lots of family that lived here so I have been here through the old mentality into the new. Saint Charles is diverse place now. Yes at one point it was more country! That was until they started building the extensions. Saint Charles has everyone it’s awesome. The housing markets has exploded here. It’s picking up more and more revenue because people are starting to get the hint it’s a place worth investing in I will tell you why. Saint Charles is located right by everything.70 270 364 prolly 10 others I don’t know about. It’s got a lot of potential to appeal to everyone. It’s got the Katy for the bicyclist and it’s got Main Street. Oh my lovely Main Street. They hold events here all the time. They are a blast. It’s a VERY walkable place. Main Street is like escaping to somewhere else it’s got these awesome shops that have everything you could want. It’s got an awesome coffee shop picaaaaasooo. Love it! I mean endlessssssss things to do. The council is always trying to improve the area. It’s a BIG city it’s not always perfect in spots but hell I have gone every where and lived in 5 different areas around here. It’s pretty much perfection to me. Come to some of our events on Main Street I GUARANTEE you will be bringing your butt and others back to visit again and again. I love my city and have a lot of love and pride. Also not to mention all the parks and the pools. I been comming here 25 plus years and still find things I didn’t even know we’re there. Come try it out and you will see what I’m taking about. I think Saint Charles is very under rated until you move here then realize it and never leave.

I recommend coming here for the great small frontier-​town ambiance. There are a lot of silly tourist shops to avoid but the mid-​1800s architecture is not-​to-​be-​missed on a trip to St. Louis. They even have a replica of a Conestoga wagon greeting visitors to the town. (I couldn’t believe how small it was. A real one-​donkey sub-​compact wagon. And I thought the 12-​hour road trip in my parents’ Honda Pilot was uncomfortable).
They have a small but good museum in the old State Capitol building (Missouri’s first, before Jeff City was built). If you plan ahead, you can catch one of the walking tours that leave every two hours or so– I didn’t take one but I would recommend it because there are few signs and lots of interesting buildings and sites that I would have liked to know more about.
I spent an hour at the St. Charles Historical Society researching several generations of ancestors who settled in St. Charles and the surrounding farmland in the 1860s. They are very helpful there and have great free info about the town and books for sale on its history.
