10 Missouri Towns That Scream ‘Snob Appeal’

There are certain parts of Missouri that have a reputation for being, Oh I don't know, somewhat superior acting. It's almost like they are a magnet for snobs or those who feel that the regular life is too normal for them and 10 Missouri towns made a new list.

Instead of relying on one lone online writer's opinion, I decided it would be a dandy idea to ask a robot to rank the 10 snobbiest places in Missouri and explain why. The results are hilarious and sound pretty spot on based on my experience being nearly a life-long Missourian. I've driven through every single one of these Missouri towns/neighborhoods and they seemed very elite.

10 - Gated communities in Lake of the Ozarks

All of the Lake of the Ozarks aren't considered snobby. It's just the gated communities that you might pass by when you're on your way to Lodge of the Four Seasons or destinations like that. Horseshoe Bend and Porto Cima were mentioned specifically by AI as "snobby".

9 - Kansas City’s Brookside and Country Club Plaza

This part of Kansas City was described as progressive in a “we drink local craft beer and do yoga” kind of way. Oh, and they drink craft beer and do yoga better than you, too. Hilarious and accurate.

8 - Select areas of Columbia

There are parts of Columbia hailed for their "academic elitism and progressive snobbery" especially The District and Old Southwest. Have you ever walked by the dorms at Stephens College? Then you understand.

7 - Kirkwood

If the country club in the movie "Caddyshack" were a Missouri community, it would maybe be Kirkwood. AI says it screams "we're cultured". The truth is that everyone who lives in Kirkwood is smarter than me, but I admit that's not saying much.

6 - Wildwood

Described as "prestige through isolation", Wildwood also happens to be the part of the St. Louis area where Nelly used to own a mansion.

5 - Frontenac

Luxury shopping? Check. Elite private schools? Yep. Wealthier than you? Absolutely. A small community that will sick the dogs on you if you dare to knock on their door to try and sell your Girl Scout cookies.

4 - Chesterfield

The robots say that Chesterfield is filled with "new money" and that it gushes with "suburban prestige mixed with materialism". I have friends in the Chesterfield area that aren't that way at all, but all of them know someone who is.

3 - Town & Country

Full of country clubs, large estates and people that look like Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island.

2 - Clayton

Clayton does have a lot of high-end restaurants, art galleries, and luxury condos. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but don't expect to host your redneck BBQ there. That would be frowned upon greatly.

1 - Ladue

Artificial intelligence told me that Ladue is very "status-aware" and that it was the home of "old money". I dare you to try and play a round of golf in blue jeans there. I DARE YOU.
