Scott Air Force Base is a mission-focused community with everyday conveniences and a surprising amount of recreation right at hand. The installation’s global reach is front and center, and daily life is supported by on-base services, events, and programs from the 375th Force Support Squadron and the base itself at Scott Air Force Base. Commuting is straightforward thanks to the Shiloh-Scott MetroLink station operated by Metro Transit, while air travel is a breeze next door at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport. Off base, you’re minutes from the shops and dining of O'Fallon, the quiet neighborhoods of Shiloh, and historic Belleville in St. Clair County.
Families appreciate the strong school options serving base housing through Mascoutah Community Unit School District 19, including Scott Elementary on base, with advanced coursework and extracurriculars close by at O’Fallon Township High School. Higher education and workforce programs are accessible at Southwestern Illinois College. Weekend plans range from aircraft displays at the Heritage Air Park to seasonal festivals, nature trails, and regional favorites like the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows just down the road. Whether you’re PCSing in, transitioning to civilian life, or seeking a home that balances community and convenience, this area makes settling in simple.
