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! 😊
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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!
Here’s the video on Richmond heights: What to know if you're moving to Richmond Heights, Missouri th-cam.com/video/LyVW0_CWsJg/w-d-xo.html The others you are correct about me not having videos on yet
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.
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.
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...
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
Hello, currently living in mid missouri but very interested in an investment rehab project in the St. Louis area including suburbs. What do you think would be the best area to invest under 200,000. Thank you. Liked and subscribed👍
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.
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.
Lots of old brick buildings brick buildings there's a lot of brick building so brick buildings have many have been restored but the brick buildings all the brick buildings and there's many brick buildings that are abandoned they have a lot of brick building so brick buildings of this and they have a lot of brick buildings in the downtown area in the brook building's in the west side area in the brick buildings in the brick buildings are all made a brick building's the brick buildings
Hello guys. Im from India nd got an offer letter to study in st louis university and after watching this video nd others, im at a confusion as to what areas around Unis are safe and what do u guys suggest me. Please reply as non local its not easy to understand for me to come to a conclusion
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.
If this guy doesn’t know much about an area, what that means is that that’s where all the crime is believe it or not you can live 3 miles from my 70 on the west side and be rich and live 3 miles on the east side of I 70 and live next to six clasping Buildings
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.
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.
Where to live in St Louis if you're rich and you still want to live in the county of St Louis you move to ladue out by plaza Frontenac if you're poor and you're white you live in North county florissant Hazelwood area but if you're white your kids can't go to public school they'll have to go to a private or parochial School if your middle class you move out to St Charles county where the schools are decent if you're rich you live in O'Fallon or wentzville or even lake St Louis
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.
I don't know how these people do it they talk in circles and then they circle back and they do a negative circle and a backwards circle and they circle around and they circle the back and they keep repeating their self and they circle back and then they have to start over again and
Whew! This week's episode was long. Which area did you like most?
I like the Metro-East. Swansea, Shilo, O’Fallon etc…
Very nice! I don't know the east very well.
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! 😊
Really, wow! Congratulations
Lived in St Louis metro for 60 years. This video is a very well done and accurate description of St Louis Metro.
Thank you for your comment Gary! Love the feedback
Spot on. 35 years in Richmond Heights and now 30 years in Kirkwood. Nice homework and dissertation on this great city.
Hey William thanks for watching and for the positive feedback! Glad you found it well made
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.
You're welcome! Really glad that it's helpful
Definitely check out broadway oyster bar.
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...
Great video👍. I am interested in rental properties in St. Louis and St Charles areas. What areas will you suggest for rental?
just bought a condo in st louis hills, couldnt be happier with this area! highly recommended
Gorgeous neighborhood

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

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?
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.
Not a bad idea at all
Thank you! Awesome Vids
Thank you for watching Gedeon!!
Do you have any comments about Brentwood and Richmond Heights neighborhoods?
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.
Yea just go to South county where all the dope fiends and child MOLESTERS LIVE
I appreciate you and your videos
Thank you for watching!
Lived in Florissant stay out of Robin with subdivision it has turned bad

You can live in some places in south St. Louis like the Holly Hills area. Stay out of N. St. Louis at all costs!
Very well done young man.
Thank you John I appreciate it

The others you are correct about me not having videos on yet
I live in vinita park on flora Ave it’s a pretty good place I like it.
It's a quaint little part of STL that flies under the radar a lot!
@@LivingStLouis yea but it’s home to me. I guess you don’t need anything big when your by your self.
I’m moving to the central west end from Kentucky later this month. Glad to hear it’s a relatively nice area
It's a gorgeous area! I hope you love the neighborhood when you move here!!
Where to live in st Louis? - Nashville
Love this video idea, great job, are you getting leads from this?
Yessir
@@LivingStLouis Wow! Congratulations!!
@@TH-camRealtor Thanks!
You left out so many counties Brentwood, Richmond Heights, Eureka

Which part of Illinois ? If you for mind me asking ?
That's until we get rid of our personal property taxes here in Missouri which is on the cusp of happening shortly
who can afford the property taxes in IL, am I right?
Can you do a video on safest suburbs in St. Louis? Thanks!
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.
@@LivingStLouis Even in the most nice areas one can have a bad altercation and that is anyplace .
In my opinion it would have to be kirkwood, ladue, huntleigh heights, St peters, o'fallon
Metro link is not safe to take
I wish you covered Franklin County more. Eureka, Washington, Pacific, Labadie, Grey Summit, etc
Certainly will expand on Franklin county specifically with a future video
What about webster groves?
Here's the link to a video on Webster Groves: th-cam.com/video/9UYStciaYi4/w-d-xo.html
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.
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...
I Love the Ellendale neighborhood area . :) QC
Like your videos, but you missed a large part of North county! Black Jack, Riverview, Normandy, Overland, St. Ann, Vinitia, Velda City, Berkely, etc>?
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

Depends on the building. Some apartments have covered parking, some have a garage, and some are street parking
What about Coeur Creve....there are several apartments there. I'm moving to StL area in June

Would be interesting to know more about north county like dellwood.
DON'T move to Dellwood unless you wear a flak vest & are well armed.
Hi. I have an offer to work in Normandy, St. Louis. Do you think it is safe to live there?
How is Bridgetown
Stl sucks thank god I got out of that apocalyptic hell hole the only good thing there is food that’s about it and that is Chinese and pizza
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.

Stay away from here bro, I'm still trying to make it out the hood.
How could you not mention New Town?? In northern St. Charles.
Separate video on new town coming out in the next few weeks
We’ve lived in O’Fallon MO for 30 years. We moved here shortly before the population began to explode....
Oh wow! Do you like all the new development or prefer the way it was before it became a popular area?
@@LivingStLouis we appreciate the many conveniences, but not the traffic! 😉
That's completely understandable! I'm the same way
