Bottom Line

St. Louis is definitely holding its own as one of the 30 largest housing markets. Compared to other cities, we may not be the trendiest or most glamorous, but we offer affordability, great schools, and a strong job market. Plus, who needs all that flash when you can have a city with a rich history, amazing food, and passionate sports fans? In my opinion, St. Louis is a hidden gem in the housing market that more people should consider.
