Moving to St Louis - 10 Reasons You Should

[@tylermcgill2741]

I appreciate you making this video. There are so many that just tell about all of the bad parts of St. Louis, but there are finally people showing all of the good too!

[@meow_kats5563]

I moved away and came back. Growing up in St. Louis i thought the city was lame. Now that I am older I can appreciate the quality of life here.

[@midwestcountry314stl2]

Cheap apartments in Florissant & Spanish Lake area & close to family

[@JohnVoirolGroup]

I did the exact same thing. I lived in Chicago in my early 20's b/c I thought STL didn't much to offer. Living that overpriced city life taught me what to appreciate about St. Louis, no doubt. Glad you're back!

[@perrinjackson2528]

I love St.louis it's just something about it.. when you leave and come back,then the arch pop out of horizon I get goose bumps... It's not as bad as folks think, if u ain't with the s#!t$ u have nothing to worry about.

[@traveljibaro9325]

I moved to STL from the DC area thinking it was going to be a boring city! Oh lord I was wrong! From Buffaloes waking freely to the largest free zoo in the country all free. To include The Art Museum, Missouri History Museum, Science Center, Some Muny Events or certain seats, to the largest urban park in the country Forrest Park. To put it into perspective Forrest Park is 500 acres larger than Central Park in NYC. The neighborhoods most historical are unique and beautiful. We have a light rail system that needs some security but during the day is pretty safe. Now we have an old school light rail trolley at Delmar Loop and a small China Town Square near I-170 and Olive. There’s a lot of construction downtown and Ballpark Village Phase II is almost half way done! Must love this city I know I fell in love with it. One more thing we have a professional hockey and baseball teams Blues and Cardinals, and pretty soon an MLS professional soccer team. Also we have Union Station, Aquarium coming soon and a Ferris Wheel 🎡 right next the the Union Station. If I try to write all the good stuff its going to take me a long long time! Come visit and if you like it make the move! PS, We only want professional to move in lol... or hard working families!

[@mrepic2962]

Is it hard living there

[@traveljibaro9325]

Jesus dragon ball super channel Not even! Its affordable and there’s great neighborhoods. Just be careful like in any other major city. If you decide to move come with a degree if in finance or IT you should be fine.

STL is my hometown. Growing up I wanted nothing more than to get out of there. Having lived in another state for 20 years I miss the area so much! This video reminded me why my hometown is an amazing city! Thank you for creating this video!

[@JenkinsStevenD]

I grew up in STL and it is nothing like it was. If you want to burn away the nostalgia...sure. Take a visit 'home.'

[@AW-pl3ou]

I lived in St. Louis between late 2011 and mid 2013, went to Webster University. Something about this city I keep wanting to move back. Crime is high, but the west side is pretty much safe. Low cost of living, hardly any traffic jams, great night life. Beautiful and affordable loft apartments in downtown. Oh, and Imos pizza is something!

[@JohnVoirolGroup]

St. Louis has that effect. I know many people who have moved away and eventually returned. It’s an easy place to live and they quality of life is really good (e.g. little traffic, great restaurants, many cultural institutions, amazing parks, low cost of living). If you combine city and county crime stats, as other metro areas do, crime is not disproportionately higher than in similarly sized places. I live on the South side and am quite happy to be there. Come on back!

[@tlt935]

I grew up an hour south of St. Louis but visited QUITE often growing up. When I moved out of my parents house, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. I've lived in St. Louis for several years now and I can't imagine living anywhere else!

[@hard_work314]

Compared to other cities..st louis literally one of the best places to live..since there is good and bad everywhere I appreciate that as a city and surrounding areas it has so much to offer and everything is affordable. And you literally can travel to anywhere from here in a short amount of time since it's in the middle of the country with a major airport and train system,not to mention gettin around on the metro transit systems is invaluable.

[@WalksandSuch]

I lived there for two years in law school, 2016-2018...I would say it's an AMAZING place to settle down. It's VERY affordable compared to 75% of the rest of the country. It's beautiful, with TONS of free stuff and history to explore. The only thing I think it's bad for is for young people who don't have kids. There's not many clubs or concerts...a lot of the better stuff goes to Chicago or Kansas City. It's great for bar food and for drinking...but if you like to go out to clubs and dance, it's pretty bad. The nightlife in that regard can be kind of sketchy/sleazy. But if you're family-oriented, and you don't plan on 'going out clubbing," than it's perfect.

[@WalksandSuch]

@Top 10 in the World as long as you live in a decent area (i don't recommend anywhere in the North of the city) and you use common sense, you'll be 100% fine. What school are you going to?

[@iluvcakes19]

@@WalksandSuch this is true. Singles, young adults, and empty nesters will struggle to stay occupied, if excitement and/or entertainment is desired. There just isn't a lot to do if you like variety. Living in STL means you'll frequent the same spots until you outgrow them. But as everyone knows, having friends is the best panacea. Also, if your'e ambitious STL isn't the place for you. In this case I say follow the opportunities knowing that you can always come back. What STL IS good for is the family oriented person, the person that wants to settle down, and the person that wants to live comfortably without needing a boatload of money.

[@JERios-wv8lx]

WOW, AT LAST A POSITIVE REVIEW ABOUT SAINT LOUS!! Believe it or not, i've always heard negative things about Sain't Louis. (Mostly gang violence, and shootings and crime.) I've never been to the city, but allways been curious about its iconic and beautiful arch. Your video has convinced me it really is an interesting city. Ireally enjoyed the video, thank you so much!!!

[@badcrockett57]

Moving to St. Louis so soon as I find and buy a house there. Used to live in Chicago and Hibbing when I was a kid. This weekend will make my 3rd trip up there and hopefully I will be a home owner. There is something about this city that is totally captivating The people there are friendly, the weather is nice...it's a gun friendly state, and unlike the cockroach state, aka Florida, it has nowhere near the corruption--especially in health care and government. Living in a state that doesn't have 500 money grubbing lawyers per square inch and endless pharma and personal injury ads pasted and posted EVERYWHERE is a much welcomed reprieve as well. Just the thought of moving there has given me a huge second wind. Me going there to retire....??? Don't know the meaning of it. I will start a business and also crank out a few CDs. I can't wait!!

Every weekend you could pop into the many great, diverse neighborhoods and have a good time. There is so much culture here that it's unreal. I was spoiled with things to do.

Two of my friends have gotten their cars jacked in broad daylight while I was with them (one at the galleria and one in tower grove) and other people I know have gotten their places robbed at gun point (tower grove). The only really safer places to live are creve coeur, Webster groves, and Frontenac. There are more safer places to live in Stl, but those are the main ones that come to mind.

@@anthonyemerson7058 If you like city living in a dense neighborhood with lots of shops and historic homes, look into the Central West End. Easy access to highway 40 takes you right into IL. If you prefer a larger yard and a community that puts on small parades and gatherings for little ones look to Glendale, Kirkwood, and Webster Groves. With over 70 different municipalities in St. Louis County, choosing a neighborhood can be a challenge.

Hi Anthony! As a city resident with 2 daughters, I recommend the Benton Park neighborhood.

This was useful although I came to many of the same conclusions as you make here after taking a long, hard look at a number of places. We will be in St Louis next week for an in-person look around. I've been there before but my partner hasn't & is a bit skeptical. We were in Phoenix in March & he liked it very much but I think it has grown too fast. The summer heat, heavy traffic & lack of cosmopolitan attractions are worrisome. St Louis has so many of the pluses found in bigger cities but at lower costs & with smaller crowds. St Louis also has some of the nicest neighborhoods & beautiful old houses in the country as I recall. I look forward to getting reacquainted.

Yes, depending on the neighborhood you choose. If you want to live in the city, you can get a decent apartment for around $600/mo. If you want something nice in the suburbs, it's closer to $2k/mo.

[@violetk.5191]

Can someone talk to me about the public transporation system? Do you need a car to live and work there?

[@BentleyAlexW]

Violet K. You don’t necessarily need a car to work here. There are a lot of public buses that commute to and from majority of St. Louis. Now there are some areas out where buses and trains won’t go but it won’t prevent you from obtaining work, getting to and from work or home. You can purchase a weekly pass for about $30 Monthly passes are closer to $100/120 . This is good for the buses and trains. You basically just swipe or scan the pass. Most buses run like every 30 -45 minutes with the exception of a couple bus lines running closer to hourly. On sundays usually buses stop running sooner. 9-10pm being around the time the last bus runs for the night before picking up again at around 5:30/6am. There are exceptions. The bus that serves the street Grand Ave runs quite late and a lot more frequent than any other bus I know of. Sometimes there’s a bus coming just 10 mins after missing one and running as late as 1am. If a car is the only thing preventing you from moving here I’d say make that move .

The murder rate can be misleading for two reasons: 1- stl "city" is fairly small with plenty of bad neighborhoods. Most of the nice areas are outside of the city itself. 2- the metro area is comprised of many small municipalities. If you want the downtown feel, look at Clayton, Clayton is insanely safe and feels just like a downtown. Look at the crime statistics for the specific neighborhood, and you'll be surprised. It's just that stl has a higher ratio of bad areas to good ones, and the bad areas are really bad. You can find plenty of safe neighborhoods 15minutes from downtown with apts under 1k/mo.

@@birney163 Thanks for that, I was looking at Minneapolis, too. That was my first choice, so it's funny that you brought that up. St. Louis is cheaper. :)

5:45 no, it wasn't. The city just celebrated its 250th in 2014, so it was founded in 1764.

Is is true about high crime rates?

[@iluvcakes19]

Yes. But if you're going to move to STL just do whatever everyone else does (mainly whites), move out into the western suburbs. You'll isolate yourself from what imo makes STL so great, but hey, you'll be safe.

[@JenkinsStevenD]

Left STL after 25 years. No thanks. If anyone is thinking about moving to that vicinity...stay out outside of Saint Louis County. You have a 1 in 7 chance of being a victim of a crime and a 1 in 10 chance of being a victim of a violent crime YEARLY just by living in Saint Louis County. I couldn't, in good conscience, give someone advice to move TO STL.

[@brewmule6799]

JenkinsStevenD yea that’s what happens when you have a city controlled by Democrats

[@YSLRD]

I left there 30 yrs ago and never missed it once. Seriously, google the crime statistics.

Really? STL city is considered to be worse than the county. In the county you have to worry about police harassment. In the city you have to worry about either your belongings or your life. 😄😄

In STL the "cost of living" might become the "cost of dying." I'm strapped, locked and loaded if I end up on I-70 or really anywhere in the city. Don't even think about riding the metrolink if you are white.
