After living there for about 10 years I can say the neighborhood is overall nice but kind of pricy. I like how Tower Grove has Tower Grove Park, many restaurants, events and a local library. There are some areas that are very rough and a lot of abandoned buildings. The crime is not bad but it happens a fair amount of times.

I love this area so much! The proximity to Tower Grove Park is what has kept me sane while we go through this pandemic. Not to mention, there are so many different places to go and eat.

Private and somewhat quiet. I like that it is very close to Grand Boulevard, so I could walk to tons of restaurants close by.

It's easier to find a job in the county or in an area away from the city if you're looking for a restaurant or retail job. Most jobs here are grocery store jobs. It might be harder to find work as a teenager because most workers are older. There are not top companies in the area.
