St. Ann Apartment Guide
Five minutes from the airport, budget rents, and everything you need on one road — a compact, practical renter’s city.
Realistic rent ranges
St. Ann averages about $809 for a 1-bedroom and $1,103 for a 2-bedroom (overall $943, down about 1.4% on the year). One-bedrooms here are among the county’s cheapest; 2-bedrooms cost noticeably more, so couples and families should compare Ferguson, Overland, and Spanish Lake for multi-bedroom value. Stock is mostly modest garden apartments and postwar houses on compact streets.

Major employers within a short commute
St. Louis Lambert International Airport is essentially next door — five minutes to the terminals, which makes St. Ann the natural home base for airline, TSA, ground crew, hotel, and car-rental shift workers, especially on early-morning schedules that transit and long drives punish. The former Northwest Plaza site now houses St. Louis County government offices and business tenants; Boeing, the Hazelwood corridor, and Earth City logistics are all within 10–15 minutes.
Getting around
The city sits on St. Charles Rock Road between I-70 and Page Avenue, with I-170 minutes east: downtown in ~20 minutes, Clayton in ~15, St. Charles in ~10. MetroBus runs the Rock Road corridor, and the airport-line MetroLink stations are a short drive or bus ride away — better transit reach than most small north-county cities.
Schools
St. Ann is split between the Ritenour and Pattonville school districts, roughly 60/40 by homes. Confirm the district and school assignment for your exact address before signing.
Utilities and groceries
Ameren electric, Spire gas, Missouri American Water; renters typically pay electric and gas. Everyday life runs on St. Charles Rock Road: groceries, pharmacies, discount retail, and restaurants line it end to end, and most St. Ann apartments put that whole strip within a five-minute drive or a walk.
What applications expect
A mix of small professional managers and independent landlords: standard 3×-income screening, moderate application fees, and more human flexibility than the big corporate corridors. Airport shift workers should mention stable employer and tenure up front — it carries weight. Prep with the document checklist so verification calls don’t slow you down between shifts.
