10 Metro East Homes for Sale So You Can Escape Backwards Missouri

A new Republican governor. A returning Republican senator. A new Republican attorney general. Despite plenty of Democratic votes among the St. Louis population, Missouri went full-on red after the November 8 election -- and it doesn’t look like that will be changing any time soon. The horror! But lucky for us, St. Louis is conveniently positioned near state lines, and our neighbors to the east are a bit more flexible with their governmental color scheme. If you’re ready to say peace out to backwards Missourah but can’t bear to part with St. Louis, here are 10 great homes for sale in different towns throughout the Metro East. Adding more blue to your life while still living right outside St. Louis? After this last election, the combo can't be beat. Photos and information courtesy of Estately.
