Foley sits along the Mississippi River corridor in Lincoln County, offering wide-open skies, relaxed streets, and quick access to the region’s best outdoor escapes. Locals head a few minutes north and south on Highway 79 to explore the wetlands and waterfowl at the B. K. Leach Memorial Conservation Area, a favorite for birders and photographers managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation, and to hike bluffs, paddle creeks, and camp beneath the stars at Cuivre River State Park. Weekends often include small-town ballgames, river views, and easy drives to neighboring communities like Winfield, Elsberry, and the county seat, Troy, for shopping, services, and local dining.
Families appreciate the close-knit school options nearby, including the Winfield R-IV School District and the Elsberry R-II School District, each known for student-centered programs, athletics, and FFA traditions. The Lincoln County Library supports year-round learning with branches and programs that make studying and story time feel close to home, while healthcare needs are covered with full-service care at Mercy Hospital Lincoln in Troy. When big-city arts, pro sports, or flights call, St. Louis is a straightforward commute.
Whether you’re seeking a starter home with room to grow or acreage near the river, Foley delivers value and a slower pace without losing connection to essentials. If you’re ready to buy or sell here, Agent Pronto can pair you with a top local real estate agent who knows the market and the community.
