Creve Coeur is a second-ring suburb of St. Louis, located in west St. Louis County. Its name - meaning broken heart in French - is derived from the nearby Creve Coeur Lake, which is shaped like a broken heart. Initially a farming community, Creve Coeur has developed into a thriving community  with beautiful homes, acres of parkland, hundreds of businesses and a number of high-tech office parks.

Home to two private colleges, four private high schools, five private primary schools, two public school districts and approximately fifteen houses of worship, Creve Coeur is a community where everything a resident needs is no more than ten minutes away.
