1629 S Rodgers Ave in Alton, IL is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offering 1,093 square feet of living space in the St. Louis Metro market — and one of the more affordable ways to get into it. Alton sits just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, giving residents access to a major metro area while enjoying the lower cost of living that comes with an Illinois River town. It's a practical choice for families, first-time buyers, and anyone who's been priced out of the Missouri side.

This home is available through owner financing — no bank, no credit gatekeeping, no lengthy approval process. Get in for $2,000 down with monthly payments of $895 on a $89,000 home. For buyers who've been told no by traditional lenders, owner financing is a legitimate and legal path to homeownership that thousands of families use every year.

Three bedrooms gives you the flexibility to grow into the space, host family, or set up a home office. At this price point and payment, it's hard to find a better entry into homeownership in the St. Louis Metro area.
