About Troy
What It's Like to
Live Here
When my clients first consider Troy, the conversation almost always starts with the map. Situated perfectly with immediate access to I-55 and I-70, it’s a community that inherently respects your time. You're closely connected to the greater metro area, making the morning commute remarkably straightforward rather than a daily hurdle.
But a convenient drive only matters if you love what you're driving home to. Troy’s housing mix offers a rare balance. I regularly show beautifully established neighborhoods with mature trees, sitting beautifully alongside newer, carefully planned developments that offer modern architectural touches. There is a sense of thoughtful growth here that preserves the town's original character.
Troy offers the space and comfortable community feel many buyers want while keeping St. Louis and the surrounding Metro East within easy reach. As an experienced Realtor in Troy, IL, I help buyers understand the local market, compare neighborhoods, and find a home that fits their lifestyle, priorities, and long-term goals.

Questions
Finding the right home means understanding more than what's currently listed. Whether you're comparing nearby communities, exploring homes for sale in Troy, IL, or considering commute times, neighborhoods, and everyday conveniences, you deserve straightforward local insight. Here are the questions buyers ask me most before making a move to Troy.
How bad is the commute to St. Louis?
It's one of Troy's best features. We are situated right on the junction of I-55, I-70, and I-270. I regularly make it to downtown St. Louis in about 25-30 minutes outside of peak rush hour. It's an easy, straightforward drive that my clients really appreciate.
How does Troy compare to Edwardsville or Glen Carbon?
Edwardsville and Glen Carbon are fantastic, but they tend to be busier and carry a slightly higher price point. Troy offers a quieter, more relaxed pace with excellent highway access, while still being just 10 minutes away from Edwardsville's shopping and dining.
What kind of homes are available here?
My clients love the variety here. We have beautiful established neighborhoods with mature trees, as well as several newer subdivisions offering modern floor plans. Whether you want a cozy ranch or a spacious two-story, I can help you find exactly what you're looking for.
Is Troy a good location if we're stationed at Scott AFB?
Absolutely. I work with many military families who choose Troy. The drive to Scott AFB is typically around 25 minutes via I-55 to Route 4 or I-64. It is a very popular and welcoming military-friendly community.
What should I know about the local schools?
Troy is part of the Triad Community Unit School District #2, which is highly regarded in the Metro East area. Many of my clients specifically look to move here because of the district's strong academic and extracurricular reputation.
