University City is my favorite place I have ever lived!
Pros:
• Feels like a small town in some ways but all of the amenities of a big city
• Beautiful tree lined streets
• So many local businesses to support
• Lots of cute, local parks
• Very close to Forest Park, The Loop, downtown Clayton, Brentwood, etc.
• Still very cheap for being in an urban center
• Fall and spring are wonderful
• Close to rural towns and a lot of hiking trails
• Sense of community and the community is very diverse
• Not a lot of traffic and street parking is easy to find
• Homes are so charming and each has a different style
• Food is amazing and many different types of cuisines
• U City has its own distinct vibe from the rest of STL
• Residents are liberal
Cons:
• MO is a conservative state and so statewide if you are a minority, you are not protected very much
• Winters in MO can be brutal
• There is quite a bit of crime that happens in the surrounding areas
• Could see it becoming unaffordable soon

Very friendly neighborhood, family-friendly, a lot of greenery, very central location with little commute time to shopping, work, or the city.
University City is a very fun place to live. My neighborhood has so many things to do like the Delmar Loop where my friends and I do things like shop and eat which is very fulfilling. University City is also very rich with many different cultures and people, that you learn something new every day.
