Hey guys!

I'm a St. Louis Native but for the past 2 years, I lived in Montana. I love the rural feeling of small towns, I love the smell of horse/cow/farm animal **** and I love being around farms.

I recently started a construction job with the labor union in St. Charles and right now, I have an hour and a half commute each way to and from work. I'm not willing to do that, because it just means my already rigorous 40 hour a week job is now a 55 hour a week job. What I plan on doing is moving to a rural/smaller town within 40 minutes of the suburbs (Chesterfield, Creve Couer, ETC.).

But I need your help to find a town that fits that sort of criteria...

I would like it to be surrounded by farmlands.
I would like it to be a smaller town, under 10,000 people, the smaller the better though.
There must be rentals there because without rentals, I sure as hell can't live there.

My income is around $50,000 a year, and my rental history is clean.

Thank you so much for your help guys!

I'm not sure what the rental market is like, but within 40 minutes of Creve Coeur, places that may fit the bill are:

Barnhart
Pevely
High Ridge
Byrnes Mill
House Springs
Labadie
Grey Summit
Cedar Hill
Defiance
New Melle
St. Paul
Old Monroe
Winfield

Of course, traffic conditions may affect the commute time, but if you start looking in those directions, hopefully you'll find something suitable

Good luck!

I definitely looked into Gray Summit (Need to do more research on rentals there), Defiance (Wayyy too expensive), New Melle (This is the ideal place, along with Portage Des Sioux but neither have any rentals that I could find...if anyone knows if either of those places have a newsletter/classifieds, please let me know!

I'll start looking into the other places!
