shared copy link so you get views you’re so underrated

Love your videos. You know. I’m thinking. You and other relators should do event in the city. You all should do something where you get local apartment complexes and local real estate agency together. Do a big housing fair. Have games, dog area, and just let people see all the amazing places they can live in st.louis. Maybe even have shuttles that take people from the main event area to the apartment complexes or houses and do tours. That would be huge I promise.

You cant do anything in Saint Louis City without the risk of you car being broken into. Doesn't matter where., in broad day light. In front of police camera's. Its a gamble everytime and only getting worse

A failed investment / flip, nelly was finessed.

I don't recommend moving to anywhere near St. Louis, especially within the city limits or north county. Poorly ran, rotting, decaying. Huge lack of enforcement. Really sad.

New town is the chesterfield of st charles. Be prepared to spend a buttload of money. However, it’s beautiful and reminds me of New Orleans. Anywhere around Main Street st charles will be crowded with tourists; but if you live close and walk dogs, each business has a doggy bowl outside so your dog won’t get overheated. The ones of us who live near Main Street can say it’s a pain in the ass so if you’re trying to go to the store and an event is happening there will be a long stop and go trip (because they’ll have all the main streets shut off; better off hopping on 370 to earth city and taking it to 70. I grew up on the opposite side of st charles (st charles west school) and then went to north county and came back 14 yrs ago. I will never go back to north county but know that the st charles area by Main Street is by the soup kitchen (which means loads of homeless individuals and drugs; we’re basically the country ghetto). Just things I wished I’d kniwn

Remember when lacledes landing was the bomb?!?

I take Amtrak trips to Chicago from STL pretty regularly. Being able to experience Chicago without the prices of living in Chicago is pretty amazing. I just wish STL had competent leadership. Decades of population loss is just embarrassing.

What part of the city is Washington U of St. Louis?

If you have a car and want to keep it. Secured parking and cameras. 1 stolen car and 3 broken windows taught me that.

I wish all new neighborhoods would be required to have atleast 1/3 acre lot. They cram a ton of houses in so much and there is no yard. The area loses exclusivity with these newly built neighborhoods.

What is the name of the building at 4:10? It was a beautiful apartment!

You've made some good points. One thing that I'm not sure if you've mentioned is that the more and the better amenities included also tends to lead to higher monthly HOA fees. I've seen some at several hundred to over $1K a Month. That might price some people out of a condo. A couple buildings I like to check out occasionally to see their available condos are the Marquette Building and the Blu City Spaces buildings. They're in different parts of downtown, and they both have different aspects that might draw me to want to live there. The CWE and Debaliver neighborhoods also have attractive condo listings to me.

St. Louis native here. I was gone for 22 years and was amazed when I moved back that St. Louis Hills is still really nice. Another awesome neighborhood in the city is Holly Hills. Then I think the Bevo neighborhood is kind of dicey.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

Missouri should trade most of STL to the People’s Republic of Chicago in exchange for southern Illinois. Win win.

So excited to see this!

I’ve lived here for 32 years. Whatever this derek is saying is absolutely false. Yes, there is crime just like any city. Just learn where not to go. We travel a lot and am so proud of St. Louis. And…there is no crime in St. Charles. Every weekend my wife and I have to choose which band to see or event to go to. I’m 72 and have lived in 13 different cities. There is no doubt that this city is my favorite.

Just don't bring your politics!

No don't move here I need to get a place before any real estate rush 😔

We going half to start reminding people of are murder rate lol we don't want more people here trust me😂

You’re wrong about the liquor laws as far as time. No liquor sales after midnight on Sundays, or 1:30am the rest of the week.

A lot of talk about crime in the comments. I live in a gated mansion in Huntleigh and we have very little crime. I did think that my newspaper was stolen once, but it turned out that it was delivered to my neighbor Steve. Wouldn’t you know it, he just took it for himself. I’m watching you Steve!

Obnoxious, drunk tourists OR people who live in the County...😂😂😂 You NAILED IT!😂

Love your videos! STL is on our short list to consider relocating to in a few years. Your videos keep us up to date. 👍

I live in St. Louis City (not county) and I love it! My rule was to stay east of 270 when it came to picking a house. 😅

Jacob, I think it would have been a good idea to mention the streets that bound downtown: Tucker Blvd. to the West, Wash Ave. to the North, Third Street to the East and Clark Ave. to the South. Also I did a quick Google check and there don't appear to be any schools located in the immediate downtown area. There is one listed on South Kingshighway and another on McPherson but those are not downtown. To me downtown is the business district and where City Hall is located. Hope this info helps.

Don’t.

Im coming in late October to go to the Chess Hall of fame. Im excited!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I am hearing rumors about the current paid for parking in front of ballpark Village being converted into a second or third cardinal way. Additionally, the rumor is a grocery store being put in the bottom of one of them

STL BUILDERS, stop neglecting a yard. All these new builds have crappy yard sizes.

the equipment at 6:32 is the home theater equipment and it looks like some smart home servers as well as some private servers.

I ain’t never heard of anyone want to retire in St. Louis but I do plan to visit it.

I’ve lived in the suburbs of St. Louis for 31 years. I have lived in 13 different towns. St. Louis is my absolute favorite. I’m proud of this city, however, understand that St Louis is about 300 thousand. Towns surrounding St Louis total over 2.8 million. You would have to be crazy to live downtown. Period. Every city has its bad areas. St. Louis has very bad areas. Just know and don’t go.

I suspect that St Charles will become the next North County.

dont go down the wrong streets here. dont stop at stop signs in certain places around here, for some reason that will get a gun pulled on you. some places are fine but most of the nothern and outer downtown places is pretty damn bad

I wish there was a know before you buy in Warren county, specifically Wright City. I wanted St Charles area, but husband wanted outside of St Charles county, but we bought in Wright City Feb 2024, and we have had antisemitic acts from week one. Now we are stuck as neighbours threaten, we are trying to get house ready to rent or sell if we can sell… but… warning …. Wright city is very xtianly. So I wonder, where are the xtians that say they stand with Israel… or is it the land they stand with and not us Jews. So yeah… would have loved to have had a heads up on the area before purchasing, in Wright city, and all the New Town residents we have met seemed respectful towards us, where here, we can not even go to the gas station, wentzville or Schnucks in Warrenton with out one of our neighbours telling us we need to accept Jc or we will burn….. maybe it’s the difference between rural people to suburban?

The main issue/difference is crime and politics. Saint Charles is more conservative with crime and spending. Saint Louis is more progressive with being soft on crime and focuses more on welfare services. When it comes to economy, Saint Charles focuses on infrastructure (paid by taxes). When it comes to Saint Louis, its spending focuses on welfare. Avoid Saint Louis if you’re looking to retire, raise a family, have peace of mind, etc. I’m not saying Saint Charles doesn’t have issues, but much better than STL. I’m from NYC, Saint Louis is worse than NYC. As for the zoo, it’s not free. It’s paid by tax payers aka welfare.

Bellefontaine is always pronounced "bell-fowntin."

Funny to stumble upon this video. I grew up in OFallon

I live in New Town, and I couldn't agree more. Beautiful, and homes there are RAPIDLY gaining in value.

Limited boundaries of our St.Louis, created a commercial restrictions, it has hurt the city of St.Louis

I live in St.Louis, I love St.Louis, it's dangerous, but I've loved good , I get all I need to live, ,all is between me and God

River point is no longer happening. The sign is down and the project is no longer listed on the developer’s website. Tore down an entire forest and ruined the island trails for nothing.

Should talk about crime. Thats the biggest determination for most people. And the difference is stark.

this dude is so genuine and also informative and transparent. you're cool man

At one time I loved St Charles and County but they definitely went downhill. Both governments suck all the way down. You're better off somewhere else. I was born here and try to escape whenever possible.
