Things that make Maryland Heights unique
Been living here since 2019. Crime rate is something to consider -Maryland Heights sits at 207.7 per 100K. It's a a smaller city city with about 27,981 people. Poverty rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,217/month for a decent place. Median household income is $86,485, which feels pretty solid for the area. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Lots of new development
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Chain restaurants dominate
