Moving to Shiloh
Growing Metro East suburban village · housing, schools, commute, costs and everyday life
About this CityHub guideA growing Metro East village shaped by Scott Air Force Base access, newer subdivisions and regional highways.
Shiloh spans established village areas and newer residential growth near O’Fallon and Scott Air Force Base. Its advantages are regional access and housing choice; the practical complications are school boundaries, ongoing development and car-oriented daily life.
Shiloh had an estimated 14,604 residents in 2025, up 3.5% from the 2020 estimate base, across 11.03 square miles. The village includes older crossroads, newer subdivisions, healthcare and commercial growth, and direct access to MetroLink near its eastern side.
Location inside Shiloh strongly affects whether daily routines point toward O’Fallon, Belleville, Scott Air Force Base or I‑64. Buyers and renters should verify school assignments and planned development for the exact address.

How it scores
CityHub estimates, not official scores. Some ratings are generated from community characteristics.
Is Shiloh a good fit?
Shiloh may fit households oriented to Scott Air Force Base or the eastern Metro East who want suburban housing choices. Compare candidate homes by their route to work, shopping and the Shiloh-Scott MetroLink terminus.
The published mean travel time to work is 24.6 minutes. That describes residents’ trips, not the trip from a home you are considering. Test your destination during your usual travel hours.
SourceDoes this fit your actual move?
Compare Shiloh against your budget, commute, and priorities—or ask about a specific address.
What does housing cost here?
Published Census estimates provide broad context where a reliable community-level figure is available. Check current homes or rentals for actual prices.
The share of occupied homes lived in by their owners.
Useful renter context—not a substitute for current available rentals.
Price is only part of the monthly payment
For a specific home, also account for the interest rate, property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA fees, utilities, and condition. That’s why two homes with the same price tag can still cost very different amounts every month.
Commute & getting around
Match the route to the job
The Census mean commute was 24.6 minutes. Trips toward Scott, downtown St. Louis and Belleville follow very different paths.
Which schools serve this address?
The address—not the city name—determines the schools
Shiloh’s municipal education guide identifies Central 104, Mascoutah 19, Shiloh Village 85 and Whiteside 115 as elementary/middle-school districts serving village addresses. District 85 operates Shiloh Elementary and Shiloh Middle; Whiteside 115 operates Whiteside Elementary and Middle. Public high-school territory can lead to O’Fallon Township High School or Belleville East. This is a true two-layer boundary decision: identify the PK–8 district first, then the high-school district serving the same parcel.
