Buying a place - Not opposed to the burbs but ideally would be close enough to uber to concert venues somewhat regularly. Would like a yard. I've looked at some of those downtown condos but really would like outdoor space. Also, I hate the idea of an HOA in the hundreds of dollars a month.
see my prior post. fairly reasonably price. good walkability. close proximity to plaza. downtown isn't terribly far.
schools are crap on the mo side but young studs like us don't really have to worry about that.
a lot (all) of it will depend on your budget and what you're looking for of course, but as someone in their early 30s who is expecting to move again sometime in the next 8-10 years, i think the area makes a lot of sense.
