Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a great medium of transportation in Pine Lawn. It is straightforward to park, and the majority of real estate listings are a short drive from the nearest highway, such as I-70. However, the public transit system in this part of the St. Louis metropolitan area is not very accessible. Thankfully, house owners benefit from a few bus lines, and bus stops are usually around the corner. This part of the St. Louis metropolitan area is not very cycling-friendly since there are few bike lanes, and bicycling is made difficult by the often steep topography. Pine Lawn is also not particularly well-suited for pedestrians because running common errands is at times difficult without the use of a car.
