Village North has kept the feel of a self-contained village, with three apartment choices, always changing entertainment, laundry services, beautician and barber services, a market and coffee shop, library, lounge and spacious newly remodeled restaurant-style dining. In fact, for two years in a row, readers of the North County Journal voted it number one retirement village in north St. Louis County.
