I love kirkwood! Great grade/middle schools and you can walk anywhere and it's relatively safe. All kinds of families and a great "downtown" area with lots of shopping and music and food. It's relatively small and notoriously rich, so everything's expensive. A very white Catholic neighborhood so it probably needs to promote diversity more.
I have lived here my whole life so I am a little bit prejudiced but you will never regret moving to Kirkwood. It's "small town" friendly but with a population of about 26,000 (plus Glendale which is a part of Kirkwood and rated number one in the city of St. Louis as best place to live). It's charming and friendly with fabulous restaurants and shopping, stroll or bike to town or Kirkwood Park, top rated school district... But you better hurry because houses sell as soon as they go on the market!
Kirkwood is the best community to live in! The people are truly proud to live here and you know that by the support they show for its local businesses, the overwhelming support for the schools, and the way they come together for special occasions like the annual greentree festival, football games, and holidays. When you live in Kirkwood, you feel special because you truely feel apart of the Kirkwood family. The downtown is to die for with many local businesses and bars for night life. The plaza is a great gathering place with many restaurants lining the street and then the Thursday night concerts that have the downtown filled with people enjoying eachother. It’s just overall a great place to live.
