My family moved here when I was a kid. Crime rate is something to consider -Wentzville sits at 205.2 per 100K. Household incomes average around $111,409 in Wentzville. It's a a smaller city city with about 45,734 people. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Looking forward to hearing from you all. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value safety, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely improving and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (Riverside) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Rising rent and home prices.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, the quality of life is solid. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The housing market is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..
