Local hangouts and top-notch schools make Murphy feel like home

Accessible Commuter Suburban Wooded Family-Friendly

Nestled in the spacious suburbs of Missouri about 22 miles southwest of Saint Louis, the city of Murphy offers a welcoming environment that feels like home. Winding roads, tree-lined streets, and friendly neighbors add to the small-town charm of this suburb. An array of small business, local restaurants, and specialty shops give Murphy’s residents unique, one-on-one service in town.

Enjoy local hangouts like the Grand Slam Sports Bar & Grill on Mae Court, or check out the outlet stores at Gravois Bluffs Plaza. Great public schools are available in this small town, including Murphy Elementary School off of Valley Drive. Highway 30 travels directly through Murphy, so getting in and out of town and to nearby cities is a breeze. Fenton, Parkdale, and High Ridge are just a few of the surrounding communities. Interstates 44 and 270 are nearby as well.
