Housing is so much more than four walls and roof. These days, housing comes in a wide variety of options designed to meet different seasons of life, different lifestyles, different budgets, and different community visions.
St. Charles County has long been among the top counties in America with the highest rates of home ownership.
Although this area in metro St. Louis has been growing since the days of Lewis & Clark, it was a housing boom in the 1980s driven by young families that helped fashion the community as we know it today. The area has been further defined by additional housing waves in recent years that included the move-up and luxury markets, new urbanism developments, and senior housing options.
National and local trends, expectations, possibilities, and governmental requirements are all changing when it comes to housing. Changes such as higher standards of energy efficiency. Using more sustainable materials in construction. In-home technology advancements. Higher density. Expanded green space. Mixed use neighborhoods and walk-able communities.
How will we define the housing of tomorrow in St. Charles County? It’s up to all of us to find out together!
