About the Area

A stable, well-established community.

Affton is an unincorporated community in the heart of south St. Louis County with a population of roughly 20,000. It is primarily residential: tree-lined streets, well-maintained homes, and a strong sense of community. Gravois Road is the main commercial corridor, with grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday services all a few minutes' drive away.

The broader south St. Louis area takes in both city neighborhoods and county communities, and the Gravois corridor connects them. Downtown St. Louis is a quick drive, which makes south county a practical home base for commuters who want more space, a yard, and a quieter street.

Housing

The home styles you will find.

The housing stock leans heavily toward sturdy mid-century homes, many built before 1970. Mature landscaping and generous lots are hallmarks, and in recent years many of these homes have been carefully renovated while keeping their original character. 9607 Reavis Rd is one of those renovations: a completely rehabbed home with a new kitchen and a finished walkout lower level.
