They are making this because it’s too dangerous in the city so nobody goes out there. I went to downtown STL on a Friday night and it was like a ghost town at 11pm. Only major city I’ve ever been to that I’ve seen that

Adding on to the culture point, we have a great energy. There have been multiple bands like Breaking Benjamin and Korn that say St.Louis is there favorite city to play in due to how lovely we can be. Which compared to concerts I went to in Chicago and Colorado I say is a fair assessment. As someone who is a nerd there are also a lot of cheap game stores and fun movie bars which helps you meet other people in the community. (Shout out to Bodachs, Tater Tots, and Arkadin!)

Lots to develop in the Lou, all that’s green will be sub-greenery. Only debate is car dependency, iRobot automation of transport, walkability , public transport in general.

I've lived in St. Louis my entire life. I've had a guy randomly attack me outside a Steak N Shake and almost kill my friend. I've had situations where homeless people wont leave you alone unless you give them money in areas where you're supposed to be able to go out like Cherokee St, The Grove, or Washington Ave. I've had homeless people run, yes run, from 2-3 blocks away to try and panhandle me for money while out. You have to take you and your woman and hurry inside somewhere to escape. I've had my car blocked into a parking lot in Soulard (again supposed to be a nicer area) by a group of random people while a moronic worker at a bar got attacked by one of them. Had to convince a friend to leave. I've also had to get rid of friends for random acts of violence towards people. If you're from out of town and you're thinking of St. Louis, ABSOLUTELY do NOT live in downtown St. Louis. There is not a St. Louisan you will meet with a decent paying job that would influence you to do that. You need to live around 15 minutes, or more, outside. All these "St Louis is great" videos are from people not from here.

I never lived in St. Louis but I’m on the Illinois side but St. Louis is so big and connects everyone im in granite city there are multiple ways to end up in places like Collinsville, Edwardsville, and of course East and main side of St. Louis depending on where like Maryland Heights I’m 22 mintues depending on traffic out but I take short cuts

From Clayton. It’s pretty cool there

It was all good until covidpocalypse and tishauras rainbow colored racial militant neo con scab borg people came.never seen black fascist nazis until here and I used to live in L.A.The new people are something else! I will gladly take their money n jobs though...ya Scab borg militant parasite test tube babies.GTFO and go back to Scott AFB and do your experiments somewhere else.TRASH.😂❤

Sounds like a terrible idea, they already have housing projects being developed near there, to add more house is going to make congestion horrendous for them, Their streets aren't meant to handle such things, definitely a dumb move by the city to allow so much unwanted housing to go up.

Really well done house tour 👍

Oh good. The worst traffic in St. Louis is about to get even worse. The road infrastructure is a decade behind where it needs to be in this area and they’re building homes as fast as they can.

Very nice, comprehensive coverage of the are. I am bound for Chesterfield in late January. I plan to rent for a few months, then will be purchasing. How does the price seem to be hovering, per acre in the Chesterfield area? Will make contact soon, I'd love to have an experienced buyers agent through this process. Great content! 🤝🏼 Disclaimer: Coming from Oklahoma... not California. 🤣

Hundreds of murders every year, shootings on highways, my former classmates father was robbed shot and permanently paralyzed in stl, 80+ straight years of democrat mayors have destroyed st louis.

I have land and already a spot ready to build, do you think it would be possible to build for $250-300k? I am located in Wentzville

and when I want to go out west to St Charles/ St Peters/ Ofallon Mo, I use the Page Extension (364) coming from North County.

I’ve never in my life heard of “mid county”. North county, west county, south county, the city. Those are the 4 sections

never calling it chesty...been here for 30 years will never call it that

You didn't mention the swingers association!

things to know? don't. stl is a shithole.

this is just gonna be a bougie pseudo downtown for richer, older, whiter people who don't like the city. ultimately not going to contribute anything of actual substance to people's wellbeing.

Moving to at Louis you better get street smart fast and don’t ever drive through north metro at night.

Great unit but i mean i also like to live and be alive.

My parents moved to St. Peters in 1962. Mexico Road was gravel, and we had to go to St. Charles or O'Fallon for groceries. There was a very small grocery in old town St. Peters with limited selection but nothing else. Growth began when I was in my teens.

st louis is a great place to live

Misery urban sprawl moment

St Louis is trash and is a 2005 lifestyle where they are way behind times. The People are rude as hell and sadly they don’t even know what that is. I’m from California and lived there for a year. Trash. Glad I was able to save a lot of money and take those money. So thank you for that 😂

Olivette for the win. More house for your money. More commercial development. Families everywhere. Plus socio-economic and racial diversity.

Are you still supporting Boston too?

Chesterfield building it’s own city is all fine and good! Urban development is fine in my book. But let’s have places to go that have vibrancy - this city is so spread out so that the masses have no place to congregate that isn’t either a long drive or crime ridden. As a young transplant that has been here for 5 years, do we hang in Soulard, Midtown, Clayton, St. Charles, Chesterfield?… PICK ONE I love the St. Louis vibe. What has happened to this city after the 60’s sucks. But Spread out “urban” centers isn’t going to fix the problem. I guess initiative is better than being unmotivated 🙂

But it’s so much fun to go to the boom boom room. :)

Such a great idea! I wish all the communities were like this in STL.

Born and raised St Charles county Stay the F out! We getting way too many ppl especially Indian immigrants

St charles being lumped in with stl....blehhh

People aren't going to want to hear this, but this is nothing more than a massive housing development. I understand why developers are marketing this as a positive, but I truly can't understand why any resident wants to turn Chesterfield into your typical highly populated suburban nightmare. What has made this place so great is all the conveniences and entertainment of a big city, with the population of a small town. This is going to bring traffic, destroy greenspace, amplify noise pollution, and crowd stores. In 20 years from now it will be unrecognizable.

Hometown!! I loved growing up there, but…it’s gotten so grown up. When it started taking 15-20 min to get out of our subdivision at rush hour, kinda hard to love it. I do love all the parks, the library, Old Main Street (I got married in what used to be The Conservatory and had my reception at Magpie’s!), and enjoy being close to but not in StL.

You need the suit from the TV show/video game Fallout to live in downtown St Louis. People who are from out of town live downtown St Louis. People from St Louis think they're insane. Lol

South city is the best place to live in my opinion. Downton sucks. You will hate game days. The only way you would like it is if you work there, since parking is awful. Not many people live there. Its pretty dead on none game days and too much during game days. However, there is a lot lot lot of crime and it is sad. The whole city had a sadness (even south city) and i would reccomend having a solid support system if you live there. It has a weird small town exclusive feel that can be isolating. Everyone grew up around the area and the girls are mean as hell. Even if they seem nice at first....be very careful. As for crime, i lived there 5 years and my two(separate) neighbors were shot and my roomate was mugged. So take that information as you will. With a good group of friends, its fun but you will have a better experience if you have close family in the area.

Everything is 20 minutes from everything else. Always. Sorry I'm late, road work on 270. Sorry I'm late, traffic on 44.

How could you not mention hw30/gravois rd? I'm from Fenton, and hw30 and 141 are by far the most important roads in my everyday life.

Anything better than Lafayette, Louisiana 😂😂😂. Thinking about moving there in the next decade.

There supposed to build a third pool. Also they just finished the brand new highschool. And in the near future it’s supposed to be a brand new 100 acre park next to the highschool

Amazon and fed ex and ups deliver to the door ! The usps packages deliver to mail room

Thanks for the video on New Town. I find the neighborhood both interesting and beautiful. My wife is more skeptical, but I'm keeping it on my list of possible relocation locations in a few years.....maybe she'll reconsider!

At first I thought the neighborhood was so weird, like something from a movie set . But then people was so friendly not use to that , bought a house in newtown! Best decision ever ! Great family vibes and best neighborhood to network! So many good opportunities came from meeting people In newtown.

North County is steadily declining and has been for years. True, it is mostly do to age of the majority of the housing and after WWII when subdivisions were a new thing this area wasn't where the high dollar housing was built such as Ladue, etc. I've spent my lifetime in N. County, 65 years, my first 3 were in Ferguson and the rest in Florissant. Most (if not all.) people don't know that many, many decades ago Florissant was once named the 2nd safest city in the U.S. when compared to other cities of the same population in reported crime. Is Florissant the worse it gets when it comes to crime? No, not at all, but I do believe in 30 to 40 years this will become a challenge. All of North County will be considered a low income area such as East St. Louis, IL. today. With even older housing in 30 to 40 years (add that to some are nearing and more than 70 years old.) than it already is today and very little to no new redevelopments you'll began to see subdivisions where vacant houses demolished and others boarded-up. This already exists in parts of N. County. This is just part of the life cycle of a many areas around the U.S. and around the world. Watch "Meet Me in St. Louis" and you'll see what the housing and life once was inside 'some' of the city limits.

It's not a safe city (except a few areas that very few can afford.) Saint Louis WAS a decent place to make money when the cost of living was low. Now with inflation it isn't worth it anymore dealing with high crime rate and safety issues. Prepare to have your car broken into even in previously known as "safe" areas. And that's not even bringing race tensions into the mix that makes STL the most segregated city in the midwest.

Number 6 is funny to me. I grew up in robertsville. People in the city look at me like its narnia.

I lived on the outskirts of Florissant near the old abandoned Jamestown mall for 1.5 years, and also in Bevo Mill for about 1.5 years. 2019-2021 inclusive between the two. I had 6 different jobs in that time ranging from machinist, woodworker, engineer, and pharmacy tech barely getting bills paid and living with others to help offset costs. Florissant/Jamestown was fairly pleasant and quiet. Bevo Mill - far from it, but it became the "best" place I could afford. I now understand you cannot afford to be broke. My catalytic converter was half-sawn off a truck I was borrowing at the time. I had street beggers pounding on my car windows in traffic. I called emergency services for a gunshot victim in an alley. We had homeless people squat in the house next to ours and convert it into a baby mama drama drug den. I had my hose cut up and fashioned into a noose that was hung in my yard. From the very moment I was pulling in the moving truck, having not stepped out the vehicle, and the day we were loading it in, we had neighbors screaming, "GET. THE. FUCK. OUT."

I live in Webster groves 🩷🩷🩷

I remember when this was brand new. I lived just across the river in Maryland Heights, and I would sometimes weekly go over there, walk around, and would frequently tour the model homes and dream about getting one or moving into one of the apartments. So fun. It's definitely a lot larger now.

Everyone in st Charles think it’s a cult😂 for real though it’s nice.
