The City of St. Anthony  is considered to be a fully developed community, with almost 100% of its approximately 1,600 acres utilized and unavailable for development. The residents of St. Anthony value their quality of life and actively pursue projects that maintain the feeling of being a "village". The City is committed to rehabilitating any area that becomes outdated or blighted. Land use and development in the Community are governed by the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance as interpreted by the Planning Commission and City Council.

Despite its central location in the metro area, "the Village" has been able to retain many of the advantages of a smaller community.
