Property management in Maryland Heights
Maryland Heights is about fifteen to twenty minutes from our office at 920 First Capitol Drive in St. Charles, across the Page Bridge on Highway 364. The housing is mostly 1960s through 1980s ranches and two-stories in established subdivisions, with large apartment complexes making up about a third of the units. Zillow's home value index sat near $270,000 in mid 2026 and was climbing faster than most of the region.
The tenant base is unusual for a city this size. Spectrum, World Wide Technology, Edward Jones, Magellan Health, Hollywood Casino, UnitedHealth, and Graybar all have major operations here, Westport Plaza sits in the middle of it, and Ranken Jordan hospital is nearby. Three-bedroom houses listed in 2026 at roughly $2,000 to $2,200 and two-bedroom apartments at $1,100 to $1,300, and relocating professionals are a steady source of twelve-month and furnished mid-term tenants.

Owning a rental in Maryland Heights
- Occupancy permit on every change of tenant
- The city requires an occupancy permit on any change of ownership or tenancy. The inspection fee is $75 and covers up to two re-inspections, the permit is then issued at no charge and is good for ninety days, and someone has to be present for the inspection. We meet the inspector.
- Parkway and Pattonville schools
- The city is split between the Parkway and Pattonville districts, and which side of the line a house sits on changes who applies for it. Every listing says which district it is in.
- Corporate relocations
- With this many headquarters and regional offices, Maryland Heights gets a steady flow of professionals who need a place for six to eighteen months. A furnished rental near Westport fills from that demand.
- Short-term rentals by permit since 2024
- Maryland Heights allows short-term rentals of whole single-family homes and townhouses under a 2023 ordinance: an occupancy permit, initial and annual inspections, a manager who can respond within an hour, a tourism tax, and guest records. Stays of thirty days and longer are ordinary rentals, and we confirm the current requirements before anything is listed.

Questions Maryland Heights owners ask
You get a written quote for your specific property before anything is signed. Our leasing fee is half of the first month's rent rather than the full month most companies charge, and the monthly management fee is quoted as a flat percentage with no setup fee, no markup on maintenance, and no fee for an inspection that is already part of the job. The First-Month Test page shows how that difference adds up over a lease.
Most well-priced homes in Maryland Heights lease within two to four weeks of listing once the occupancy permit is in hand. The usual delays are price, condition, and permit timing, and we address all three before the listing goes live so the property is not sitting vacant while a problem gets sorted out.
In most of the St. Louis area, yes. Many municipalities require an occupancy permit or inspection before a new tenant moves in, and the rules differ from one city to the next. We handle the application, schedule the inspection, and clear any items on the list, so the permit is ready when the tenant is.
Brad Touchette, the owner and a Certified Property Manager. Touchstone keeps its portfolio small on purpose, so the person who quoted your Maryland Heights property is the same person who screens the tenant, handles the maintenance call, and sends your statement. There is no call center between you and your property.
Yes. We review the existing lease, introduce ourselves to the tenant, set up rent collection and maintenance reporting, and document the property's condition so there is a clear record from the day we take over. Nothing changes for a good tenant except who they call.
