Crestwood Saint Louis, MO

Securing a rental in Crestwood makes perfect sense for renters who want easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. The main thoroughfare, Watson Road, provides access to national-brand stores such as Kohl's for home goods and Guitar Center for musically inclined residents. Appease a growling stomach with a plated dish of fried rice and crab rangoon at Sesame Chinese Restaurant, or tuck in for the unlimited salad, soup and more at Sweet Tomatoes buffet. For evening and weekend fun, strap in at Pole Position Raceway for some go-kart racing, and deposit your loose change into its arcade games to relive your childhood. For entertaining little ones, Monkey Joe's provides a warehouse-size facility of bounce houses for burning excess energy, while adults can pop over next door for craft beers at Friar Tuck.

Crestwood is a great community to raise a family in. The nights are very quite with not a lot of noise being made. People are able to get to places very easily with local shops all around. Downtown Saint Louis is only 20 minutes away as well as the St. Louis international airport. Crestwood is a great central location with great benefits.

Its nice enough I suppose the people seem nice enough or at least the ones i have met anyways. It would be a great community to raise a family in because it is a family community most of the population is small families raising kids

If you're in the education business, then Crestwood and/or the Lindbergh School District is a great place to live. We have one of the best Districts in the state and they are well known for their teaching staff. Other jobs such as retail might a harder time finding a "high" paying job but that is fairly normal because we don't live in an extremely wealthy area.
