  1. so lees summit is on the list huh? never thought it’d be a spot to live, but what makes it better than, say, kirkwood? anyone got deets?

    1. I think it’s about the community vibes and schools, Kirkwood’s great too but more pricy I heard.

    2. Because Lee’s Summit has that amazing… something? Honestly couldn’t tell ya, buddy.

  2. Hey Jon Dykstra, nice rundown on the burbs. Curious tho, how does Brentwood grab the top spot? Like what’s so special bout it compared to say, Chesterfield or Clayton?

    1. Brentwood offers a unique blend of lifestyle amenities and convenience to city centers, not to mention the schools are great! Definitely worth the top spot in my book.

  3. list looks rigged, everyone knows the best places are always kept secret. why would chesterfield be #2, somethings off here.

  4. I’ve been thinking of setting roots in Wildwood for the quiet, seems like it’s ranked pretty good here for a balance of peace and connections to the city. Thanks for the info!

  5. So happy to see Webster Groves there! It’s been my dream place to settle. Love the small-town feel. Great article, Jon Dykstra!

  6. Interesting, but how exactly are these rankings decided? Like, what metrics are we looking at? Crime rates, schools, what else?

  7. Interesting list! I’m surprised Overland didn’t make it; thought it had some nice areas too. Maybe just me though.

  8. can someone explain why ballwin is so high up? just curious cuz i’m looking to buy n wanna know if it’s worth it

  9. Uh, no way is Cottleville the worst on this list. Have ya seen the parks there? Plus, the community vibes are strong. This list needs a do-over, Jon. What were the criteria even based on?

  10. Ladue number 8, huh? Heard they got good food spots, might check it out for inspiration

  11. bro, nice to see ballwin getting some love. great gyms and the people are chill. best place for someone like me who lifts but hates city traffic lol.

  12. So excited to see Clayton at #3! Definitely considering it for my next move. The vibe there just feels right.

  13. How is Clayton only #3? That’s where everyone wants to be. This list is off. Should’ve been my top pick. Do better, Jon.

  14. All these suburbs sound the same. nothing beats the city vibe, suburbs are just boring and too quiet for my taste.

  15. Not much talk of the tech scene in these suburbs. Would love to know where the startups are clustering around.

  16. This list gives a good starting point for anyone considering a move to Missouri. It’s always interesting to see how different suburbs compare.

    1. anyone knows how the traffic is in these areas? looking for something not too hectic

  17. So happy to see places like Webster Groves on here, they’ve got that community garden that’s just goals. Shows you can have a suburb that cares about green spaces and still ranks high. Love it!

  18. Wonder if any of these places got legends or ghosts, like real spooky stuff. Haunted Missouri suburbs, anyone?

  19. Would any of these suburbs be good settings for a horror movie? Imagine a creepy story set in idyllic Brentwood.

  20. Brentwood at #1 is a surprise! Must be something special about it. Always thought of it more as a shopping destination.
