Relocating for work
Moving to St. Louis for Mastercard
Mastercard’s St. Louis Tech Hub is in O’Fallon, Missouri. That makes St. Charles County the natural first search area, but Maryland Heights and Creve Coeur can be strong compromises for households that still want easier access to central St. Louis.
Work location
Start with the exact worksite.
Large employment center
Mastercard says more than 4,000 employees work at its O’Fallon tech hub.
Hybrid roles still need geography
Even with flexible or hybrid work, the days you commute to O’Fallon can make the Missouri River crossing a major housing decision.
Where to start
Compare the commute with the rest of your week.
If you want the easiest Mastercard commute
O’Fallon, Lake Saint Louis, Cottleville and St. Peters keep you inside St. Charles County and eliminate the daily Missouri River crossing.
If you want to stay closer to central St. Louis
St. Charles, Maryland Heights and Creve Coeur can trade a longer O’Fallon commute for easier access to Lambert, Clayton, West County and the rest of the central metro.
If your partner works east of the river crossing
Do not optimize solely for the Mastercard campus. A St. Peters, St. Charles or Maryland Heights location may solve two jobs better than a home farther west in O’Fallon or Lake Saint Louis.
Three options
The Mastercard move is really an O’Fallon commute decision plus a “how connected do I want to stay to central St. Louis?” decision.
I want the easiest campus commute
O’Fallon, Lake Saint Louis and Cottleville keep the commute compact and avoid the Missouri River crossing.
I want a middle-ground location
St. Peters and St. Charles keep Mastercard reasonably close while moving the household east toward Lambert and central St. Louis.
I want to stay in St. Louis County
Maryland Heights and Creve Coeur are the most logical starting points if crossing the river is acceptable and central-metro access matters more.
Hybrid work changes the math, but not the geography
If you only commute to Mastercard a few days a week, you may be more willing to live east of the Missouri River. Renting first can be useful if you are still deciding whether a less frequent but longer commute is worth a more central location.
If two people are commuting
Mastercard plus a Clayton/West County/city job creates a classic east-west compromise. St. Peters, St. Charles, Maryland Heights and Creve Coeur often deserve more attention than the closest-to-campus options.
Scouting trip
A one-day plan.
1
Drive to 2200 Mastercard Blvd during your actual arrival window.
2
Test the Missouri River crossing if you are considering St. Louis County.
3
Compare one O’Fallon/Lake Saint Louis home with one St. Peters/St. Charles and one Maryland Heights/Creve Coeur option.
4
Drive the non-work trip you expect to make most often toward central St. Louis.
Before you commit
Check these four things.
Confirm hybrid expectations and expected campus days.
Measure the actual river-crossing commute, not just mileage.
Check how frequently the rest of your week points east.
If another worker has a job elsewhere, solve both commutes before choosing how far west to live.

Choosing a farther-west home because the commute looks easy, then underestimating how often the rest of life points east.

FAQ
Mastercard relocation FAQ
Where is Mastercard’s St. Louis campus?
Mastercard lists its St. Louis Tech Hub at 2200 Mastercard Blvd in O’Fallon, Missouri.
Where should Mastercard employees live?
O’Fallon, Lake Saint Louis, Cottleville, St. Peters, St. Charles, Maryland Heights and Creve Coeur create a useful range from shortest commute to more central location.
Is Maryland Heights too far from Mastercard?
It is a longer commute than living in St. Charles County, but it can be a strong household compromise if Lambert, West County or central St. Louis matter regularly.
Does hybrid work make living east of the river more reasonable?
It can. Fewer commute days can make a longer river-crossing trip acceptable, but test the worst commute day before deciding.
