Our Take
Florissant is cheap and close to St. Louis, but it lacks public transit, has limited shopping and dining, and the local school system is basically nonexistent. If you’re a car‑dependent commuter looking for an affordable suburban home, it could work, but you’ll need to be prepared for a quiet, car‑only lifestyle.
