In the next few months we may be moving to the St. Louis area and buying a house. Neither of us has lived there for years and we're overwhelmed by the options. Please suggest some areas we should look in based on what we want:
We currently live in Cleveland Heights, OH and love that we have a walkable neighborhood, are close enough to neighbors that we get to know them, and have just a half-miler walk to a grocery store, restaurants, shops, and a playground (of those, grocery store and playground are probably the most important). Dense, walkable neighborhoods with mostly single-family homes is our preferred style, and having a big yard isn't important (in fact, in some ways we prefer small yards). We've got kids and would like a good school district, though how good is "good enough" is hard to pin down. We're trying to stay close to both Forest Park to be near work and Town and Country and Maryland Heights to be near family.
So far people have recommended looking in Clayton ($$ but not completely out of the question), Webster Groves, and Kirkwood. We'd like to know if those are good recommendations and if there are other areas we should look in. |
