A relaxed retreat not far from the Gateway City

Commuter • Wooded • Convenient • Quiet •

Classic ranch and raised-ranch houses populate almost every street of this quiet suburban community, where locals enjoy a restful spot removed from city life. Lush parks like Castlewood State Park are near the neighborhood and are great for hiking and mountain biking. Washington University Tyson Research Center is near Murphy so it's a great choice for renters who want to be close to campus. Both work and recreation frequently require a brief commute, but residents consider it a fair price for settling in this tree-lined retreat. Finding a home for rent in this primarily residential stretch of Jefferson County allows convenient access to the energetic commerce, nightlife, and entertainment of Saint Louis, which lies about 22 miles northeast.

Tell you the truth it really isn't too bad living in St. Louis/Fenton. I say this because St. Louis has some of the best landmarks around like the arch, the sculpture park and the beautiful museums. Other places just don't seem like there's a lot to do. In the future I wish to see less crime in St. Louis and more love and compassion.
