Cahokia Heights blends the historic communities of Cahokia, Centreville, and Alorton into one city with deep roots and forward momentum in St. Clair County. Just across the river from St. Louis and neighboring East St. Louis, it offers quick access to major employers, pro sports, and cultural institutions while retaining a close-knit, residential feel.
History here isn’t a backdrop—it’s a highlight. Residents are minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage–recognized Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, where trails, exhibits, and expansive views tell the story of one of North America’s most remarkable ancient cities. Outdoor time continues at nearby lakes and greenspaces, including Frank Holten State Recreation Area, while aviation enthusiasts appreciate the convenience of St. Louis Downtown Airport for business and leisure travel.
Families value the community’s schools, with Cahokia Unit School District 187 offering neighborhood elementary options, extracurriculars, and college-and-career readiness programs. Shopping, dining, and regional events in Belleville add to everyday convenience, and the restaurants and festivals of Collinsville are an easy hop—especially when you’re visiting the mounds or catching a community celebration.
Whether you’re drawn by affordability, proximity to job centers, or the area’s unparalleled Indigenous heritage, Cahokia Heights delivers a practical location with a strong sense of place.
