Anyone else love living in Mehlville?

Random thought, Rent is about $1,029/month for a decent place. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Is this normal for Mehlville? Thanks for reading.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Minneapolis about 3 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a fresh start.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Four distinct seasons
- Good airport with direct flights

Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Property taxes are high

Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are stable, gas is surprisingly good.

Socially, the quality of life is solid. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Bought a house here in 2021 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
