Lake Saint Louis is a distinctive planned community located in St. Charles County, Missouri. Established in the late 1960s, the city is built around two private lakes—Lake Saint Louis and Lake Sainte Louise—which provide a scenic backdrop for the residential neighborhoods. While lake access is primarily reserved for members of the Community Association, the city features several public parks, such as Boulevard Park, and the popular open-air shopping center, The Meadows. Its location at the intersection of I-70 and I-64 makes it a convenient hub for those traveling through the St. Louis metropolitan area.
