What Surprised Me the Most

It's a good size city, but it's not as crowded as I had imagined. I feel I've been spoiled with light traffic, tons of parking, quiet shopping, and no waits at restaurants!

The Walkability

Forest Park and The Loop are both within walking or biking distance from our house. We love to take our dog with us to dine outdoors with her at our side.

Small Town-Outdoorsy Feel

St. Louis is unique in many ways to other cities I've lived in. I enjoy more outdoor activities because of the longer warm months that spring through fall bring. I also think a small town feel in a big city is hard to find; everyone knows everyone!

Great Food

We live near Clayton, which has a variety of indoor/outdoor cafés, and also near the Delmar Loop, which has the popular and historic Blueberry Hill and Fitz's, as well as several great ethnic restaurants. There are great restaurants within walking distance of our house in University City, MO. "The Hill" is an Italian neighborhood with dozens of restaurants featuring authentic Italian cuisine.
