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 $836 for a 1-bedroom, $1,202 for a 2-bedroom, and $1,603 for a 3-bedroom (July 2026, nearly flat year-over-year). One-bedrooms here are among the county’s cheapest; the jump to 2-bedrooms is steeper than in northeast-county markets, 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 addresses are served by the Ritenour School District. Confirm the exact school assignment for your address with the district.
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.
