Overland Apartment Guide
The most central budget rents in St. Louis County — 20 minutes from almost everything, at northeast-county prices.
Realistic rent ranges
Overland averages about $835 for a 1-bedroom and $945 for a 2-bedroom (overall $911, July 2026, up ~3% on the year). That’s northeast-county pricing in a central-county location — the quiet arbitrage of the St. Louis rental map. Stock is mostly older garden apartments, four-families, and small buildings along and off the Page Avenue corridor; nothing fancy, but solid space for the money.
Location is the product
Overland sits nearly dead-center in St. Louis County: Page Avenue runs straight through it, I-170 borders the east side, and Lindbergh crosses the west. Practical result — Clayton’s offices in ~15 minutes, Westport and Maryland Heights in 10, the airport in 10, downtown in 20, Creve Coeur’s medical corridor in 15. If your household has two jobs in two different directions, Overland is often the compromise point that makes both commutes short.
Major employers within a short commute
Rather than one anchor, Overland touches several job clusters: the Westport Plaza office and hospitality district, the Page/Rock Road retail corridors, airport-area logistics, and Clayton’s government and professional offices. Healthcare workers reach DePaul, Barnes-Jewish West County, and central-corridor hospitals within 15–20 minutes.
Schools
Overland addresses are served by the Ritenour School District. Confirm the specific school for your address with the district office.
Utilities and groceries
Ameren electric, Spire gas, Missouri American Water; renters usually pay electric and gas, with water/trash varying by building — in Overland’s many small buildings, ask the landlord exactly how utilities split. Groceries and everyday needs line Page Avenue and Woodson Road, with larger retail minutes away on Lindbergh and St. Charles Rock Road.
What applications expect
Small-building and independent landlords dominate, so screening is human-scale: references, steady income proof, and honesty go further than a score. Application fees tend lower here ($25–$50). As in any independent-landlord market, verify who actually owns the building before paying anything — the scam guide shows the 60-second county lookup.
