President and Park Royal

My wife and I lived here for two years while she finished grad school and we constantly talk about how lucky we were to find this place. Bottom line: there were no other apartments we could find with this amount of space, in an outstanding location, for the price we were paying. Being able to walk to multiple groceries, restaurants, the park, and more was a massive upgrade in our lifestyle alone. We very much enjoyed the amount of space we had in our 2 bedroom, 2 bath. Even better was our balcony overlooking the neighborhood and courtyard. The courtyard itself offered a great place to socialize and have friends over to grill. Even with all of the benefits above, I can't stress how wonderful the staff was as well. I quickly became friends with them, and any issue or repair we would need was addressed promptly. The building is definitely old, but is constantly being updated, and it's age never became an issue for us. In the two years that we lived there I think the only thing we replaced was an old ceiling fan, and received a brand new one immediately. That's it! Definitely check this place out if you are apartment shopping. Price, location, and staff are all outstanding.

I moved to STL from out of state five months ago. I downsized from a beautiful 1920's home into a beautiful apartment about half the size from about the same era. I love pretty much everything about living here. The neighborhood is vibrant and diverse. I can get to the airport effortlessly on the Metro. There are restaurants and two small groceries in the neighborhood. My apartment is beautiful, solid, and well-maintained. The management in these buildings in excellent. The building is very quiet; almost too quiet for me. I rarely hear anyone else in the building. I simply couldn't be happier with my experience of living in The President the last five months. I highly recommend this place if urban living in comfort and style is your goal. My only complaint is that there isn't a drug store within walking distance.

This is the perfect building if you want a quick walk to the metro, great restaurants, and outdoor space. The common areas are well maintained and staff incredibly helpful. Unlike other apartments in this area, it has a large courtyard with grills, lounge chairs and dining tables. It’s like having a touch of country right in the middle of the city.

Having left a 4-bedroom 100-year-old house in Wisconsin, I thought the adjustment to apartment living would be tough. But when I walked into our beautiful 2-bedroom apartment at The President in STL, I knew I was home. The building was built in the boom times of the 1920s so everything is substantial and gorgeous. The views are amazing with windows ( in our apartment ) facing North, South and West. A generous foyer makes a library for us - the hallway from living area to bedroom creates a sense of privacy for sleeping. Noise carries poorly through the thick plaster walls, so we are not at all bothered by sounds of neighbors. And if anything requires attention, it is taken care of almost immediately. The worries of lawn maintenance are no longer ours - our utility bill is included in rent, so no unexpected highs or lows - great staff are competent and friendly. And, as in all housing, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. We are in the heart of the CWE and just 2 blocks from Forest Park. Without driving we have access to a wide variety of restaurants, bars, entertainment. Highly recommended habitat for living!

My apartment is 2B/2BA and about 1600 square feet with all utilities except electric included. The doormen and maintenance staff are friendly and helpful. The elevator has gone down and needed to be reset about once a week since I've moved in and I"m hoping that is a fluke. The a/c units are battling the worst part of summer surprisingly well. Overall, my rent is less than 1 dollar per square foot so despite the fact that the kitchen and bathrooms need updating, it's the best deal around and the neighborhood is my favorite in the entire STL region. The Park Royal is very dog friendly.
