Good place to rent if you are working class. With or without a car there is access to lots of places to shop eat and work. good thrift stores. Biking distance from Tower Grove Park. Named for its own little park with nice trees. A little scary at night but no worse than most low rent neighborhoods. Crime differs block to block.

Neighbors are helpul, kind and respectful. Crime rate is low and police keep the neighborhood safe. The neighborhood is visually appealing.
