Background

Bellerive Acres is a northern suburban city in Normandy Township, St. Louis County, Missouri, United States. The population was 191 at the 2020 census. In April, 2015, the residents voted to change the village of Bellerive to a fourth class city named Bellerive Acres. It is the former site of Bellerive Country Club, which relocated southwest to Town and Country in 1959. Much of the former golf course is now occupied by the University of Missouri–St.
