Omaha
Rising out of the prairies and cornfields of the heartland, Omaha serves as a cultural wellspring and economic powerhouse for the region. Downtown has seen a lot of development in recent years, and now serves up a huge selection of trendy shopping, dining, and entertainment, particularly around the Old Market; the Blackstone neighborhood has also emerged as a new hotspot for adventurous restauranteurs and hip nightlife. The robust live music scene in Omaha is one of the city’s worst-kept secrets, with national publications singing the praises of popular venues like the Waiting Room and the annual Maha Music Festival at Stinson Park. Omaha is serious about college sports – the University of Nebraska’s Cornhuskers are hometown heroes, and the city is the longtime home to the College World Series every summer. For more relaxing downtime, soak in views of the Missouri River (and wave to Council Bluffs, Iowa) from Heartland of America Park, or pack up your picnic basket and head over to Standing Bear reservoir.
Town And Country
Town and Country, like its name implies, has a beautiful mixture of suburban and rural landscapes. This Saint Louis suburb is one of the city’s most upscale communities with mansions on acres of land, large single-family homes, and lavish modern apartments. The suburb is nestled beside Edgar M. Queen County Park, a massive former estate turned public space offering a dog park, trails, tennis courts, playgrounds, fishing ponds, and more. Only 20 minutes west of Town and Country is home to Maryville University, Missouri Baptist Medical Center, and excellent schools which attracts students, families, professionals, and commuters. By living in Town and Country, you’ll have quick access to shopping and dining just minutes from your apartment, house, or townhome. Town and Country Crossing and Lamp & Lantern Crossing inside the community offer grocery stores, major department stores, furniture shops, and restaurants. Be sure to check out the Myseum at Lamp & Lantern Crossing, an interactive science experience featuring activities such as archaeological digging and creating music from random objects. Town and Country may be small, but this renowned community could be the place for your next home.
Saint Louis
Stretched along the Mississippi River, Saint Louis is the second most populous city in Missouri. Regarded as the Gateway to the West, Saint Louis was the starting point of Lewis and Clark’s infamous expedition. Saint Louis’ most iconic landmark, the Gateway Arch, is a memorial celebrating the nation’s westward expansion. In addition to its rich history, Saint Louis offers residents access to exceptional amenities and culture. An apartment in Saint Louis affords you the opportunity to climb sculptures composed of reclaimed building materials at the one-of-a-kind City Museum, or watch the Cardinals play ball at Busch Stadium. Hit the town and catch a performance at the Fabulous Fox, or indulge in some retail therapy at the massive Saint Louis Outlet Mall. There’s incredible architecture to admire in the Washington Avenue Historic District, or you could experience the flora and fauna on display at the Saint Louis Zoo and Missouri Botanical Garden. Convenient Interstates make exploring the Saint Louis area and the national forests to the south a breeze.
