Town and Country Missouri Real Estate

Located just west of Des Peres and Frontenac, the primarily residential community of Town and Country is nevertheless considered "West County."  Since its conception in 1950, strict zoning restrictions have preserved this community as a highly desirable address in metropolitan St. Louis.  The original country charm of larger lots with white fences and grazing horses set the stage for expansive properties and a feeling of openness.  Commercial development is limited and tends to cluster at the edge of town. The result is a tranquil and green haven of beautiful neighborhoods that provide a welcome contrast to the more intensely developed areas of St. Louis County.  New residents to the Town and Country community will be able to choose from a wide variety of housing styles. Older homes tend to be gracious colonial ranches, while new construction is usually designed with two stories to offer elegant and stately residences featuring the finest of amenities.  The community is ideally located near Queeny Park, one of St. Louis County's finest recreational areas.  The park's expansive 569 acres encompass hiking trails, stables, lakes, skating rinks, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and the summertime performances of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
