Choose the Right Suburb for You in St. Louis, Missouri - ALL OF ST. LOUIS EXPLAINED

[@LivingStLouis]

Whew! This week's episode was long. Which area did you like most?

[@fredlawson8008]

I like the Metro-East. Swansea, Shilo, O’Fallon etc…

[@LivingStLouis]

Very nice! I don't know the east very well.

[@ryanchrisgomez]

Moving to STL in a couple weeks, ended up finding a great place in U City, right off Delmar in the Loop! Great area and within walking distance of WashU, couldn’t be happier! 😊

[@michoum115]

Really, wow! Congratulations

[@garycurtright1104]

Lived in St Louis metro for 60 years. This video is a very well done and accurate description of St Louis Metro.

[@LivingStLouis]

Thank you for your comment Gary! Love the feedback

[@williamhumphrey6518]

Spot on. 35 years in Richmond Heights and now 30 years in Kirkwood. Nice homework and dissertation on this great city.

[@LivingStLouis]

Hey William thanks for watching and for the positive feedback! Glad you found it well made

[@ryanchrisgomez]

Thanks so much for this longer, thorough video! I’m excited to move to STL in a couple weeks and videos like these definitely help me get a sense of things.

[@LivingStLouis]

You're welcome! Really glad that it's helpful

[@michaelhammond9459]

Definitely check out broadway oyster bar.

[@stloucat]

I hope you learned to ask "where did you go to high school" 😂. Seriously, hope you are enjoying STL and we made you feel welcome...

[@iamlabels]

Great video👍. I am interested in rental properties in St. Louis and St Charles areas. What areas will you suggest for rental?

hy im a graduate student that will come in next spring semester which is january, do you have any recommendation for me where is the best place to live near saint louis university?

[@kittypopgaming5196]

st charles has homes being built all over the place because everyone wants to get farther and farther away from the east side. most of crime from city area starts plaguing the county areas bordering it and people are sick of it. i live in maryland heights most of my life. i feel its getting worse with crime. not like how it once was. people are leaving areas like maryland heights because of it, regardless if it has a good school zone. they just started building new homes to attract more people but we have a lot of car break ins here. its reported daily on the amazon ring alerts.

[@marshaclark1398]

We couldn't afford a home in St Charles county# buying in St Louis County# North County I want to live west # No starter homes

[@burakaltintas9759]

Do you have any comments about Brentwood and Richmond Heights neighborhoods?

[@plissken94th57]

I’m from Ventura county in California and I’m looking to leave here for Missouri with me and my daughter. I plan to put her in private school so what’s a good place for us to live? Planning to rent but use the extra income we’d use here for rent, to save for a house to own.

[@collinneff5528]

St.louis is known for having a large number of private schools! All of them, from what I know, have great reviews. Where ever you find a place, im sure there is a great private school nearby!

[@chrisdean6700]

You can live in some places in south St. Louis like the Holly Hills area. Stay out of N. St. Louis at all costs!

[@carsonthorpe6696]

Moving into an apartment in Hazelwood and watched thos because Ive lived in St Charles and living in “North County” made me a little nervous but watching this it seems like a better part of North County

[@carsonthorpe6696]

@@DaleGribble-gz7dx I ended up leaving and moving to O Fallon, much happier in St Charles county

[@erikyang4260]

If I can go back in time I would buy up a lot of the houses on Application trail in Chesterfield and put it up as rentals.

[@LivingStLouis]

Not a bad idea at all

[@harry_playz5832]

Can you do a video on safest suburbs in St. Louis? Thanks!

[@LivingStLouis]

I could... I just need to be cautious of what I say when discussing safety to base it off public lists and information and am not allowed to share opinions on it.

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

@@LivingStLouis Even in the most nice areas one can have a bad altercation and that is anyplace .

[@michaelhammond9459]

In my opinion it would have to be kirkwood, ladue, huntleigh heights, St peters, o'fallon

[@JohnBdog]

Very well done young man.

[@LivingStLouis]

Thank you John I appreciate it

[@stloucat]

hey, you forgot Gus' Pretzels in Soulard 😉 also, you mentioned KATY trial very offhand, not sure if you have explained it in a prior video -- if not, I think it would be a good thing to feature in a video for people moving here from out of town/state...

[@deepakdknr]

Hi, could you please make a video on Fenton Missouri also.

[@LivingStLouis]

Hello! Yes the video on Fenton is right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmnIZpavetZsfZosi=1CTiy5klQYAS6j-u

I wish you covered Franklin County more. Eureka, Washington, Pacific, Labadie, Grey Summit, etc

[@LivingStLouis]

Certainly will expand on Franklin county specifically with a future video

[@anaiperez4329]

What about webster groves?

[@LivingStLouis]

Here's the link to a video on Webster Groves: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4a8hKeZnsaMn5Y

[@tiffanymosby1700]

I grew up in Webster Groves. I love it there but ended up buying a house in another town close by because buying a home there is so competitive.

[@tobylucido1512]

Like your videos, but you missed a large part of North county! Black Jack, Riverview, Normandy, Overland, St. Ann, Vinitia, Velda City, Berkely, etc>?

[@LivingStLouis]

Very true! The reason I mainly stuck with Florissant + Hazelwood is those are where most of our clients are in North Co and I'm not really familiar with the other parts

[@SuperPainman1]

I’m moving to the central west end from Kentucky later this month. Glad to hear it’s a relatively nice area

[@LivingStLouis]

It's a gorgeous area! I hope you love the neighborhood when you move here!!

[@allikhaur]

Do the apartments in the Euclid/central west end/forrest park areas, charge for parking?? I'm looking at several apartments that are a bit newer, and appear to have parking garages.

[@LivingStLouis]

Depends on the building. Some apartments have covered parking, some have a garage, and some are street parking

[@Kalbert7161]

I wonder why you don’t know the north part so well or why it’s more affordable 😂 very quick runs of that area you posted. On other areas you have more extensive runs.

[@simonbagel]

He explained it very well in the video. That said, there are some subjects a Realtor can not talk about without possible losing a license. Schools for instance.

[@chachadalakwatsera2732]

Hi. I have an offer to work in Normandy, St. Louis. Do you think it is safe to live there?

[@chrisdean6700]

St. Louis is the most dangerous city in the US per capita by FBI standards. Some parts of south St. Louis are still good. The Holly Hills, Webster Groves, areas are still nice.

[@longsocks7507]

Stay away from here bro, I'm still trying to make it out the hood.

[@dennissvitak148]

How could you not mention New Town?? In northern St. Charles.

[@LivingStLouis]

Separate video on new town coming out in the next few weeks

[@StudentNurseDean]

Not really a suburb, but don't forget about Jefferson County. Especially Arnold and Festus on the 55 corridor and Hillsboro, and DeSoto on the highway 21 corridor.

[@sammehlberg6664]

Dont move to north county. I've lived there most of my life and trust me, you don't move to north county because it's a good idea. You either stay there when you were born there or cant find anything else.

[@mvpcilo2268]

Yea just go to South county where all the dope fiends and child MOLESTERS LIVE

[@cdbttc8646]

For those looking to come to St. Louis, this is a great resource, but for obvious reasons only covers MO state. I grew up here in STL area and lived both in MO and Illinois. If you want freedom in your state's politics, MO is for you. If you don't care about freedom, Illinois has houses for 100+K less with lower taxes that are much closer to downtown that any suburb in STL. I now live in IL as it is more cost effective and I live a nice neighborhood that is closer and much cheaper than most any MO suburb in STL.

[@michoum115]

Which part of Illinois ? If you for mind me asking ?

[@michaelhammond9459]

That's until we get rid of our personal property taxes here in Missouri which is on the cusp of happening shortly

[@stloucat]

who can afford the property taxes in IL, am I right?

[@davidnavarette6289]

​@stloucat with the prices, its pretty affordable

[@jeffreyhill1011]

I'm looking into getting a house in the city near the CWE and potentially another in Webster. I have 27 homes around the county towards NoCo that are rentals. I live out west a ways now. Had a 5200 sqft 5 bed 4 bath ranch home built on 6k acres along with two 6k sqft outbuildings a woodshop and metal fabrication shop. Added an 8 acre lake along with when I had utilities ran for the main house I had them ran for a potential change to the land being used for a subdivision in the future since 6,000 acres is a decent sized subdivision.

[@Cubs1719]

wow look how many people care.

[@PaulHFleming]

Being born and raised here, i believe biggest challenge newcomers face will be economic and racial division. You can virtually see just crossing from North/South where economic wealth is situated. And racial lines too. If you time travel back 1940s-early 1960s It would been physically dangerous for certain people enter certain areas St Louis proper

[@PaulHFleming]

I have lived St Louis my entire life. Yet there are still areas I wouldn't want be walking through after dark. The Criminal element have sixth sense of whom might be new to St Louis. Don't walk in fear, but please stay awake of you're surroundings

[@blademaster7879]

Advice from a St Louis native that has lived in the area his whole life. Areas to avoid, anything north of Delmar in the city and some areas in the south like Bevo.(Theres a reason wh these aren't mentioned at all). In the county, any part north of 70 until you go west past 270 when it turns to St Charles. The areas I mentioned in the city are extremely dangerous. The county areas I mentioned are a mixed bag but can be more affordable. Just do your research as there are many bad pockets up that way.

@@LivingStLouis we appreciate the many conveniences, but not the traffic! 😉

[@LivingStLouis]

That's completely understandable! I'm the same way

[@UncleLance67]

You spent 8 minutes talking about St. Louis city and downtown, you spent 7 minutes talking about Central county and another 7 minutes on West county, and only 5 minutes on North county and 4 minutes on South county. Your reasoning is that you don't specialize in those areas or aren't familiar with rhose areas, but it does seem like you avoid those areas because the money ain't there. You don't even bother to reccomend a realtor that DOES specialize or is familiar with those areas, almost like those areas aren't worth the time to do research on. As much as I like your content, most of us aren't going to be able to afford McMansions or the very pricey areas you seem to stick with. I want to learn about condos and townhouses, most likely in South County because everyone says DO NOT move to North County.
