Creve Coeur Missouri Real Estate

The city's French name, translated as "broken heart," is of unknown origin.  Today, however, this dynamic community is home of several leading corporations and flourishing businesses.  Residents enjoy an exceptional level of city services including welcome baskets, free curbside recycling, leaf vacuuming, and trash pickup.  A strong biomedical research corridor runs through the city to encompass St. John's Mercy Medical Center and Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital as well as other large medical office buildings. With four major highway systems bordering the city, residents are ensured convenient access to metropolitan St. Louis.  Access to educational opportunities for Creve Coeur youth are equally abundant.  A number of private and parochial schools are located in this community as well as nationally recognized public school districts.  Local recreational opportunities are abundant, including an indoor ice skating rink, a municipal golf course, and several wooded parks scattered throughout the residential and commercial developments.  Shoppers enjoy the accessibility of five major shopping centers within a 15-minute drive from Creve Coeur.
