Why St. Louis City?

Often times, people moving to St. Louis are directed away from the City. The St. Louis area is definitely known for its suburban sprawl, and especially with the GREAT DIVORCE OF 1876, the urban area has less balance than other metropolitan areas, driving up crime statistics (per capita) and diminishing perceived safety.

St. Louis, Missouri, is a city known for its diverse neighborhoods and affordable real estate options. The St. Louis real estate market offers a range of choices, from historic homes in established neighborhoods to modern developments in up-and-coming areas.

Some popular neighborhoods in St. Louis include:

1. Central West End: This vibrant neighborhood features beautiful historic homes, upscale condominiums, and a bustling commercial district with trendy restaurants, cafes, and shops.
