Relocating for work
Moving to St. Louis for Ameren
Ameren’s headquarters is at One Ameren Plaza on Chouteau Avenue. That puts the job near Downtown and the central city, where city neighborhoods, MetroLink-adjacent areas and close-in suburbs can all compete.
Work location
Start with the exact worksite.
Central-city location
The headquarters sits just west of Downtown with direct access to several central-city and highway corridors.
Regional employer
Ameren says it has roughly 9,000 employees across its broader utility footprint.
Where to start
Compare the commute with the rest of your week.
If you want the shortest practical city commute
Lafayette Square, Downtown West, Soulard, Benton Park, Midtown and Shaw deserve attention depending on the housing style and city routine you want.
If you want a close-in suburb
Maplewood, Richmond Heights, Brentwood, Webster Groves and Kirkwood can keep the headquarters commute practical while giving you detached housing and a suburban environment.
If transit matters
Downtown and central-city MetroLink stations can make rail more useful for Ameren than for many other St. Louis employers, but test the exact walk and transfer pattern from home to office.
Three options
Ameren is a central-city commute with more housing options than “live Downtown” suggests.
I want a short city commute
Lafayette Square, Downtown West, Soulard, Benton Park and Midtown deserve attention.
I want a close-in suburb
Maplewood, Richmond Heights, Brentwood, Webster Groves and Kirkwood can keep Chouteau practical.
I want transit to matter
MetroLink can be relevant for selected routes into the central city, but test the complete trip including the walk to the office.
Central geography makes buying easier
If One Ameren Plaza is your stable worksite, you can compare several city and close-in suburban options without creating an extreme commute. Renting first is more useful if you are unsure whether you want a city routine or a suburban one.
If two people are commuting
Ameren plus a Clayton, Cortex or central-corridor job is relatively easy to solve from a close-in location. A second job far west makes a central suburb more valuable than living beside the office.
Scouting trip

Before you commit
