It operates under a "Mayor and Board of Aldermen / City Administrator" form of government, comprised of part-time elected officials. It is one of several exclusive areas, including neighboring Ladue, Frontenac and Chesterfield communities. Here's a little more info on the different neighborhoods in Town and Country.

Living in Town and Country

Over the past 60 years, the city has maintained its original pastoral charm with large lots, white fences, and grazing horses still present. Because of its ideal location, Town and Country offers easy access to Interstate Highways 270 and 64 (as well as I-70, only a few miles North), which means automobile travel to locations in the state and beyond begins at a familiar starting point.

Also only minutes away is Frontenac Plaza, an exclusive shopping center that features upscale stores such as Neiman-Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Tiffany and Company, as well as a multi-screen theater complex offering the latest national and independent movies.

For residents or tourists who appreciate classical music, Town and Country also boasts its own symphony orchestra. In 1998, the Town & Country Symphony Orchestra moved from its former locality in North St. Louis County to its current location. A year later, it helped St. Louis celebrate a 50th Anniversary and since then, performs occasionally throughout the year. Its most popular concerts are dedicated to Halloween and Christmas, and are Standing Room Only.

For sports fans, a quick drive downtown enables seeing the St. Louis Cardinals play major league baseball at the new Busch Stadium, and member-golfers may enjoy challenging rounds at Bellerive Country Club, which hosted the 1992 PGA Championship and 1965 U.S. Open.
