Lake Saint Louis is a pleasant, planned lakeside suburb with marinas, parks, walking/biking trails, golf and a friendly neighborhood feel—great for therapists on multiweek contracts who want evenings filled with outdoor recreation, casual dining and low-key community events.
When you want bigger-city options, downtown St. Louis (about a 30‑minute drive) offers museums, music and the airport, and nearby historic St. Charles provides charming Main Street shops and weekend festivals within a short drive.
