Florissant Missouri Homes for Sale

While other cities throughout metropolitan St. Louis were focusing on becoming industrial powers in the mid-19th century, Florissant remained an agricultural village.  Although some businesses have since settled into the area, many remnants of yesterday's pastoral environment remain.  Distinguished as the oldest municipality in St. Louis, Florissant is proud of its Old Town historic district, a charming blend of refurbished homes, small businesses, and public buildings.  Other city highlights include the 600-seat Florissant Civic Theater, a new aquatic park, and the Old Fleurissant Golf Club.  Throughout Florissant's expanding residential neighborhoods, newcomers will discover an abundance of new ranch homes and two-story subdivision communities.  Courtly subdivisions harmonize contemporary, Tudor, colonial, and traditional architectural styles as well as meticulous landscaping. A city brimming with recreation activities, Florissant encourages active residents and families to enjoy two recreational complexes and hundreds of acres of parkland.  Facilities include indoor and outdoor pools, covered outdoor ice-skating rink, gymnasiums, meeting facilities, lighted tennis courts and sports fields, and playgrounds.
