Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Frontenac, MO

Frontenac is a wealthy inner-ring suburb of St. Louis in St. Louis County, Missouri.

Frontenac's name honors Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac, a governor of New France; developers Benjamin and Lora Wood, who had made frequent trips to Quebec, laid out the community's core as Frontenac Estates, a set of 26 two-acre estates.

Frontenac was incorporated as 217 acres in 1947 and annexed another 967 acres in 1948.

Frontenac still consists mostly of houses on lots of about one acre, and French architecture is encouraged in local home design.

Frontenac had 3,612 residents at the 2020 census, little changed from 3,482 in 2010.

The 2010 census counted 1,267 households in Frontenac, of which 1,036 were families.

Frontenac's signature landmark is Plaza Frontenac, a high-end shopping mall anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus and featuring retailers such as Tiffany & Co.

Frontenac is one of Missouri's richest communities: its median household income was $119,508 at the 2000 census, and recent Census Bureau survey estimates put it above $200,000, with a typical home value above $1 million.

The headquarters of the St. Louis County Library is located in Frontenac.

Frontenac covers 2.88 square miles, all land, and contains only about 1,300 homes, most of them custom-built single-family houses.
