I agree. I worry about the affordability factor in neighborhoods like Kirkwood. Great neighborhoods should be assessable for all income brackets. I worry about the history and charm in some of those homes that are being torn down as well.
Johanna:My grandparents old mansion is in Kirkwood, 503 East monroe avenue it's a green tudor style mansion that once was built and owned by Judge Enos Clarke. it has been on the historic mansion tour every year except when the pandemic began. famous people who actually did tour it were on a very private tour Barbara Streisand,James Brolin, Liza Minelli and Ron Howard and Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward. I was told by a relative who asked not to be mentioned on here that the tour was in 2007
That was pretty good, but I would have liked to have seen some drone shots. 2 things: in my day Kirkwood was not a jock school but they always had people in the spelling bee. Second: Check the taxes b4 you buy. You should know that the TIH is easily abrogated in Missouri, ask your agent about doing another inspection.
I live in Columbus Ohio I just watched a new build being torn down in Kirkwood ,,,what a shame it sounded like a Variance was granted but someone messed up,,
Oh no!! That sounds like someone didn't do their homework. Do you know off hand what block it was on? I may give it a drive by to see what the story is.
@@jodueren it was on TH-cam didn't give address,,,it was being broadcasted out of St,Louis 6 days ago,,Johanna you can type in Kirkland, on TH-cam it should come up,, 👍👍
You couldn't pay me to live in Kirkwood. I was born and raised there. Radical changes have consumed the charm. The street I lived on has been and is being rebuilt so much it is unrecognizable. Historic homes demolished with gaudy mansions..too large for the lot.

My ❤ will always be in Kirkwood. Still has a home town feeling. Sadly too much tear down of small homes and rebuilding large homes.

Kirkwood would not exist if James Kirkwood did not run the tracks through this part of St. Louis. Look up the history of Kirkwood, good read.
Oh fun...I love reading the historic details on all of our municipalities. Thanks for the tip!
