Historic living in Old Town Saint Charles
First founded in 1769 and named Les Petites Côtes, translated to The Little Hills, by French fur traders, history is very much alive in Old Town St. Charles. Steps from the Missouri River, restaurants, taverns and small stores can all be found in repurposed buildings lining Main Street. Known for its nightlife, the clop of hoofs can often be heard bouncing off bumpy brick streets as horse-drawn carriages pass foot traffic headed to local dinner spots and ice cream parlors by the glow of gas streetlights. Thanks to the infusion of modern shopping, dining and entertainment options into the community’s storied streets continue to see an influx of new residents. "St. Charles is really booming these days," says Steve Roth, a local resident and Realtor with MO Realty. "People love the nightlife and beautiful scenery with the river right there, I think it'll only continue to grow."
Old Town Saint Charles is a vibrant community bursting with history.

Walk to local shops on Main Street
One anchor for the community is Tony’s on Main. Tin ceiling tiles and exposed brick hint at the building’s vintage character, but it houses a casual, modern bar and grill where locals and visitors alike can sit at high-top tables and chow on pizza or pasta. Lewis & Clark's Restaurant offers an American menu of burgers, steak and seafood, coupled with an outdoor view of Main Street from the third-floor patio. Shoppers can look through boutique clothing stores like Abigail's Apparel and Jake's on Main, or stop for a snack from cafes like Picasso's Coffee and Grandma's Cookies, a local bakery selling seasonal creations and freshly-made goods. West of Main Street, St. Charles is also full of supermarkets and big-box stores, from Schnucks Fresh Food to Walmart, keeping errands close and convenient. Hollywood Casino is located just across the river from Old Town St. Charles with a hotel, restaurants and frequent concerts hosted in its 20,000-seat amphitheater, according to eXp Realty agent and St. Charles resident Brenda Souter.

A mix of historic and suburban housing
Homes in Old Town St. Charles follow the area’s long history, ranging from white-columned Greek Revival properties built near Main Street more than 150 years ago to traditional, vinyl-sided houses constructed in recent decades. Near Old Town, properties tend to be more historic, dating through the midcentury and often sitting on narrow lots. Closer to the west side of the community, tree-lined residential streets and comfortable quarter-acre backyards become the norm. Smaller cottage homes from the early 1900s can be found from about $100,000 to $200,000, though most properties sell from about $250,000 to $500,000. It's a tight market, with homes rarely coming up for sale and selling quickly when they do," Souter says. "Though this makes Old Town St. Charles a competitive housing market, homes tend to maintain their value.

Heading outdoors along the Missouri River
Just a block east of Main Street, Frontier Park offers a peaceful respite from busy city life. Green lawns and shady trees invite locals to relax outside, with the Missouri River providing fishing opportunities and scenic views. Those who want to get out on the river can use the park's public access boat ramp. A statue of Lewis and Clark also commemorates this location as the last stop in the famous duo's journey before setting out to explore the Louisiana Purchase territory in 1804. Running right along Riverside Drive, the 240-mile-long Katy Trail is a gravel path that follows the river through several of the region's parks, creating a scenic backdrop for running, biking or birdwatching. Kids may prefer Jaycee Park, which has a playground designed for children of all abilities to dash across its bridges, slip down its slides and bang on its musical instruments. On snow days, the hills in the park's west end becomes a popular sledding spot.
Use the boat ramp in Old Town Saint Charles to access the Missouri River and fish the banks.
