BACKGROUND: River Trace Townhomes is the first living community created by veteran-friendly development company AnthemUSA. Founded in 2012, AnthemUSA, LLC creates community-based planned rehabilitation communities designed to serve returning military families and retired veterans. The company has designed three models for enhanced veteran transitional living communities:

1.    “Trace” properties provide comprehensive living communities in a suburban setting.

2.    Through the urban “Oasis” model the team repurposes obsolete or neglected buildings and strengthens the surrounding neighborhood.

3.    The company also plans to build veteran-specific campuses from the ground-up located near military bases under the model “Veteran Villages of America”.

River Trace, the company’s first suburban model, is located in north St. Louis County near Chain of Rocks Bridge. The first of the “Trace” properties, this residence is open to both veterans and non-veterans alike. River Trace offers large, private townhomes, which border quiet, undeveloped, wooded St. Louis County conservation areas. Unit amenities include in-unit washer and dryer hook-ups, attached patios or decks, two parking spaces, in-unit storage, a facility playground, nearby metro bus stop, bar-b-que areas, and more.

River Trace Townhomes has developed strong relationships with the nearby schools, providing educational opportunities to residents through partnerships with local educational institutions. The community has strong working relationships with organizations such as the St. Louis Regional Alliance for the Troops and HEROES Care to provide additional veteran-specific transitional support. To facilitate job opportunities, River Trace has partnered with major local employers, including Christian Hospital Northeast, the Federal Records Center and Boeing.
