Creve Coeur is located within the heart of the St. Louis Metropolitan region. Our established community offers quality housing, beautiful neighborhoods, ample park land, superior community services and premier education institutions. Our unsurpassed quality of life makes Creve Coeur an ideal place to live, work, play and learn. Initially a farming community, Creve Coeur has developed into a thriving city in central St. Louis County with beautiful homes, acres of parkland, hundreds of businesses and a number of high-tech office parks. When Creve Coeur was incorporated in December 1949, less than one square mile housed a population of 1,900 citizens. Today, the population of Creve Coeur is over 18,000, with the daytime population growing to over 50,000, with its substantial commercial office, health care, agtech and technology industries. Home to two private colleges, five private high schools, five private primary schools, two public school districts and approximately fifteen houses of worship, Creve Coeur is a place where everything a resident needs is no more than ten minutes away.
