Mid St. Louis County

You won’t hear anyone in St. Louis say the term “Mid County” in conversation like they do with West, North, and South County. To describe the group of inner-ring suburbs in St. Louis County, we refer to them as Mid County or Central County. This part of the county contains well-known towns that are very unique from one another. So rather than say “I live in Mid County,” anyone you talk to will say the name of the town they live in. For example, Ladue, Frontenac, Clayton, etc.

Mid County neighborhoods stack up well if you want great amenities, short commutes, and neighborhoods with personality. Towns like Ladue, Frontenac, Clayton, and Huntleigh are the most expensive (and beautiful) parts of the county. They are home to some of the wealthiest families in the St. Louis area. Gems like Kirkwood and Webster Groves are known for their charming small-town feel with tree-lined streets and gorgeous homes. Everything in Mid County feels rich in character, from the historic homes to the newly built ones.

It’s also centrally located for the stuff you’ll actually use: major hospitals and employers, the museums and zoo in Forest Park, and shopping & dining that doesn’t require a 30-minute drive. When you hear locals say “we’re 15 minutes from everything,” this is the part of town they’re talking about.
