Bel-Ridge, MO

united states

Bel-Ridge is a tiny incorporated city in north St. Louis County, completely surrounded by other municipalities. Take I-270 to the Natural Bridge Avenue exit and head east to reach this 2-square-mile community. Natural Bridge Avenue is the main drag, while I-170 runs along the eastern border connecting to downtown St. Louis 12 miles away. Lambert Airport is 8 miles northwest. Despite having just 2,400 residents, Bel-Ridge maintains its own city government in the famously fragmented St. Louis County.
