About Creve Coeur, Missouri
Creve Coeur covers 10.275 square miles, all land, in the western portion of St. Louis County, and had a population of 18,643 in the latest Census estimates. The city says it was incorporated in December 1949, when less than one square mile held about 1,900 people, and that it grew as one of many communities along Olive Street Road, now called Olive Boulevard, with the building of Highways 270 and 40 pushing the westward move further. The city ZIP code is 63141.
The housing stock is noticeably newer than in the inner-ring suburbs. The median home was built in 1980, only about 1% of units were built before 1940, and about 28% before 1970. The 1970s were the biggest single decade at about 23% of units, and roughly 11% of units went up in each of the 2000s and 2010s. About 61% of occupied homes are owner-occupied and about 51% of units are single-family detached, so condos, villas and apartments are a meaningful part of the market.

One thing buyers often get wrong: Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park, at 2348 Creve Coeur Mill Rd., is a St. Louis County park, not one of the city parks listed above. The county says it became the first county park in 1945 and is now its most heavily visited.
