What BestPlaces Users Say about Florissant
Florissant, Missouri is a suburb located just outside of St. Louis. It has a population of around 52,000 and is known for its family-friendly atmosphere and affordable housing options. While some may consider it a quiet and safe place to live, others have had different experiences. Based on multiple user reviews, it seems that Florissant has its pros and cons when it comes to living there.
According to John from BestPlaces.net, Florissant has a "strong sense of community" and "plenty of parks and recreational activities for families." However, he also mentions that the job market is limited and there is not much to do for young adults. Similarly, Michelle states that it is a "nice place to raise a family" but also notes that "there isn't much diversity" in the area. On the other hand, Rebecca shares that there is "a lot of local pride" in Florissant and the "cost of living is very reasonable." However, she also mentions that there are "areas with higher crime rates." Finally, Emily mentions that the schools in Florissant are "above average" but also notes that there is a "lack of diversity and cultural events." Despite these mixed reviews, it seems that Florissant offers a close-knit community and affordability, but may not be the most diverse or exciting place to live.

Florissant the beautiful city - 5/7/2006
Its not filled with Mullets and trans ams as the person above indicates. But yes it is blue collar, not low income, but blue collar hard working middle class. If you are a hard working and family oriented you'll fit right in. It is one of the safest cities in America for its size. One of the oldest cities in Missouri, and boasts a lovely Old Town district. Since 2001 the city has seen a boom in developement that has not been experieced since the 1960's or earlier. The city is growing and thriving. Come check it
