Affton, MO Homes for Sale

Affton is an unincorporated community in south St. Louis County, just southwest of the City of St. Louis. Because it isn’t a city, St. Louis County provides local government services here. Most Affton addresses use the 63123 ZIP code, and Gravois Road (Route 30) runs through the middle of the community as its main commercial corridor.
