What it’s like
The place. Saint George is a small community in St. Louis County, home to a modest number of residents who know one another's streets well. Nearly all of its homes are lived in by their owners, a higher share than is typical across the county. Typical home values sit well below what many other parts of the metro area command, and fewer households live below the poverty line than across much of the country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, banks and insurance, and shops. Across St. Louis County, some of the largest workplaces are Washington University in St Louis, The Boeing Company and Mercy Hospital - St. Louis. The typical commute is a fairly ordinary drive for a metro-area worker, and jobs across the county dipped slightly last year.
Things to do. A short drive takes you to Forest Park, a large garden and park setting, and to the Saint Louis Zoo. The Missouri Botanical Garden and the Saint Louis Art Museum are also a short drive away, and the Gateway Arch National Park is nearby too. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are hot, so these outings are most comfortable in spring and autumn.
