Securing a rental in Crestwood makes perfect sense for renters who want easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. The main thoroughfare, Watson Road, provides access to national-brand stores such as Kohl's for home goods and Guitar Center for musically inclined residents. Appease a growling stomach with a plated dish of fried rice and crab rangoon at Sesame Chinese Restaurant, or tuck in for the unlimited salad, soup and more at Sweet Tomatoes buffet.

For evening and weekend fun, strap in at Pole Position Raceway for some go-kart racing, and deposit your loose change into its arcade games to relive your childhood. For entertaining little ones, Monkey Joe's provides a warehouse-size facility of bounce houses for burning excess energy, while adults can pop over next door for craft beers at Friar Tuck.

Crestwood is an ideal location, with most students attending AAA-rated Lindbergh schools. Plenty of community events keep residents busy, as well.

Affordable and family-friendly; several neighborhoods have high walkability to restaurants and coffee shops. Crestwood is in an excellent school district and has quick highway access for several areas. Crestwood is a flyover city for Kirkwood and Webster Groves; so there are a lot of great restaurants and activities within 10 minutes, but not necessarily anything too awesome in our little city.

Crestwood is quiet, friendly, and very convieniently placed in St. Louis. You can access every major highway within minutes, and can walk to a lot of businesses nearby with no issues. I also enjoy how close the community is and how they work together to make their neighborhoods great.

Crestwood has been my home since 2002. It is a great place for families to reside, and offers good public schools.
