Scenic Nature Living
Wildwood is saturated with lush greenery and wildlife. Hidden Valley Skiing, Missouri's largest winter recreation spot is located right down the road offering skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and adventure rides in the warmer months. Within Wildwood, there are many parks, one of the most popular being Babler State Park with acres of hiking trail, equestrian trails, and a great spot for camping or even a picnic. The Greenway Trail in Wildwood offers scenic, paved paths perfect for walking, running, and biking, connecting neighborhoods to parks and nature preserves throughout the area.
Ease & Convenience
Wildwood offers the best of both worlds—serene, nature-filled surroundings with all the modern conveniences nearby. Located just 30 minutes from downtown St. Louis, the city is easily accessible via historic Route 66 (Manchester Road), Interstate 44, and Highway 109, making commutes and day trips to the city simple and efficient.
The city features a well-developed Town Center, a charming, walkable hub with a growing mix of shops, restaurants, and everyday services. You’ll find Dierbergs, Schnucks, and Walgreens for all your grocery and pharmacy needs, along with locally owned boutiques and coffee shops. There are also several gas stations, including QuikTrip and Circle K, conveniently located along major roads for easy access when you're on the go.
Golf lovers will appreciate being near The Country Club of Wildwood—a private club offering a beautifully maintained 18-hole course, tennis courts, a pool, and clubhouse amenities. Nearby Peacock Golf Course and Ballwin Golf Course provide additional public options for recreational play just a short drive away.
Lifestyle & Local Favorites
You can start your Saturday morning off right with a cup of coffee at the local Wildwood Town Center café, Letty Lou’s, where you will be greeted with familiar faces and friendly conversations. Spend the day shopping at Wildwood’s local, small boutiques like Heels Boutique, Milk and Honey, and Sassafras Clothing Co. Like McKelvey Homes, they are rooted in St. Louis history and focused on: personalized service and customer experience. Round off the night with an outdoor concert at The Plaza paired with a drink and a bite from Wildwood Pub and Grill. (We recommend the Philly Cheese Steak with St. Louis Style Cheesy Garlic Bread.)
