Missouri's Best County

If you are looking for a general area in the mid United States where you can relax, plan adventures in exploration, or just have some good old fashioned fun, St. Charles County, Missouri is the place to be. Wentzville, Lake St. Louis, O’Fallon, Dardenne Prairie, Cottleville, Chesterfield, St. Charles, St. Peters, and Weldon Springs are the prime areas in which to plan your next escapes from reality. All within reach of each other, you can find any type of vacation activity you would want to do. And, if you are considering relocation, any one of these places is primed and ready for the addition of your family.

Displaying its proud heritage, Wentzville will whisk you away into a world of pleasure and relaxation with its many parks, recreation areas, hillsides and valleys that will definitely grab your attention and keep it for as long as you want. Home of many of Missouri’s finest subdivisions, Wentzville should be on your list for visiting and considering relocation.

Lake St. Louis, though, is equally attractive. Bustling with business and beckoning for more, you will find every desire’s potential at your fingertips. Whether you wish to stay for a while or make a permanent move, Lake St. Louis has something for everyone.

O’Fallon, chosen as one of America’s best places to live by Money® magazine in 2006, is the eighth largest city in Missouri and promises a bright future for those considering a move in careers or just relocating from one of the nearby cities as a good place to live in. With recreation centers like The Renaud Spirit Center where you can swim, play sports or just work out to relieve the pressures of life or keep in shape, you will feel compelled to be a part of this community of friends.

Next we have the heart of the golden triangle in St. Charles County; Dardenne Prairie. Just breathe in the fresh air and take in the aroma of peace as you wander through one of the many gorgeous parks, or shop in the bustling business district. You can also scour the many neighborhoods created to make you feel right at home or help you choose your next home.

Cottleville is also among the adventures you can choose from. Here you will find a growing city with eleven family oriented neighborhoods and more on the rise. Cottleville offers you a chance to be a part of a quickly growing area of St. Charles and help develop it into another great place to live.

Chesterfield has an aquatic park that is second to none. With over $3 million spent on recent improvements, this is the place to relax on a 250 foot lazy river, while the kids play on the water slides, or perhaps you will pick one of the many places to get that tan you’ve always been wanting. Chesterfield has a great little newsletter to keep all informed on the cities highlights and events. The Chamber of Commerce has a mission statement that says a lot about the city by stating that the chamber along with its patrons, reach the goals set for the city by “networking, education and communication.” Could it be that you are a part of that network? Check out Chesterfield and see if you are.

A 154,000 square foot community center is a main attraction to the city of St. Charles. Owning a spot in history as the homeplace, or the beginning of the Lewis and Clark expedition, speaks to its charisma. Also boasting of some of the most prestigious homes in the St. Louis area, St. Charles could be the beginning of an expedition of your own. Come and experience the charisma that draws new families on a regular basis.

Another city among the saints is St. Peters. Far enough away from the busy big-city life yet close enough to partake of it when needed; this is a great prospect for anyone who is thinking relocation. It is also a great get away as the home of the swimming complex that held the Olympic swimming competition in 1994. There is a lot more to this city than one might think and it will prove itself to you upon your first visit.

However, before you finish the scouting of this area it would behoove you to check out Weldon Springs. Not only is it a great place for summer activities, but it has proved itself for ice fishing, and cross country skiing. Imagine living, or just vacationing, in a place where you can fulfill the dreams that make you who you are.
