My family lives in St Louis county and I moved from Chicago back home to St Louis county. It's a pretty average lower middle class neighborhood. There's not too much light nightlife, although I don't really go out anyway. Most of the job opportunities in this vicinity are either in restaurants or department stores. There's not much diversity, most of the people who I've seen living in this neighborhood are white. It was run down for quite a while, but recently lemay ferry road has started to improve its image.
South County Saint Louis has been a delight to move to from a small town community. St. Louis County is close enough to enjoy the city life and benefits of what a major city can offer to a person, but just far enough to still enjoy the small town atmosphere so many crave. Like any other city in the world, it has it's crime locations but overall has a great rating with large areas as crime free as one could get in these days.
Saint Louis can be a very quite neighborhood area in which I live in. People there are not the worse and treat you respectfully. Housing is not as bad. There can be open space for anyone to settle within.
In the Saint Louis county area I have had a relatively good experience. However, in various parts of the Saint Louis area people who are minorities like myself may experience microaggressions. I before have worked in landscaping to get money for the upcoming semester and when I work in more European American areas that are more wealthy, people here have been consistently and considerably more unkind in their demeanor. This takes form in eye rolling, avoidance, glares, ignoring, and even more blatant forms from asking for someone who looks like them more. And as a minority man with a minority woman of different race, depending on where we go, we will have people staring at us and trying to avoid us. My wish as a psychologist would be to change the image people have of minorities, and part of that would conducting research that has already been done but eliminating the biases previous conductors had and leading to different results that can help change the way people see us.
I like that everything is close and easily accessible. I don’t like that there is trash everywhere on the grounds.
The only thing i liked about the county is the first response. They need to improve the roads, fast food business, and trash pick up
I would say that St.Louis County has a lot of job opportunities and is slowly building up different attractions for people of all ages. From our parks,clubs,movie theaters, to the new Zoo being built for release next year. We are growing in order to provide our community with a place to call home.
My experience in St. louis County is good and bad, the good experience are lot of fun place to go like the Gateway Arch, Botanica Garden, City Museum, the Zoo etc. really nice bike trail since I love to ride bike. my only bad experience was someone brake in my cousin car and stole my wallet. the thing that I will like to see changes in St Louis is the crime rate.
St. Louis County is a great place to live! It is very friendly and great for families. It is also very affordable and easy to navigate. I highly recommend!
St. Louis County is not the safest place to live, but the access to free parks and great restaurants makes up for it in some instances. It is a good place to be a student because it is affordable without many distractions.
St. Louis County has a wide variety of store, food and service options which is always a bonus. The streets, however, are extremely rough and full of patches and potholes which will have you replacing your tires and car parts much more than usual.
St Louis county is okay. Its a suburban area where most of the fun things to do are in the city. Its pretty safe, but that heavily depends on where you are.
I love it here, this place is a community where everyone is so supportive and kind. You'll always have a friend.
Great area. So homey and everyone is just wonderful. The schools are great in the area and so are the resources around town.
There's a good amount of things to do and the people are very friendly. It is pretty safe in local areas, and the houses are around 500k mostly.
St. Louis earns a poor reputation because people outside of St. Louis commonly confuse us with East St. Louis. East St. Louis is the part of St. Louis that is heard about on the news. East St. Louis is a very sketchy area, and it is one of the deadliest cities in America. Although, I love St. Louis County for its diversity and readily available opportunities. Although St. Louis does have many problems as well. I'd want to fix many of our roads and highways. St. Louis also needs to have a professional team for more sports. St. Louis used to have the Rams NFL football team, but they left to go to LA. St. Louis is such a hub of communities that there is no reason to not have more professional teams. Although, St. Louis is a great place to be if one is a baseball fan.
Compared to what I hear about other cities, it is a relatively peaceful area with good roads and great gas prices. Tax is lower than many other states. Although there is a lot of traffic depending on the time and place, outside of those times, the area is very safe to drive around. There's plenty of good stores and a couple parks and driving to the city is easy. The one thing I would adjust is the diversity. To elaborate, my high school had an 89% white majority.
