Shaw
Tell us the story of how you chose your house. What makes your house your "home"?
We had been looking her for over 8 months. We heard about the "Fall for Shaw" event where all homes for sale were open in one day. We came down and had decided if we didn't find anything, we were looking in the county. The first house we walked into is the one we live in today.
What does your neighborhood mean to you? Why do you stay?
My neighborhood means so much to us. It allows are daughter to grow up in an area with diverse cultures and people. Our neighborhood has so many opportunities to be involved in making it better and you really get to know your neighbors. It showed us that City Living could be so gratifying. Also, you are close to so many St. Louis treasures.. Forest Park, MO Botanical Garden, and the City Museum.
How do you describe the neighborhood to your family? your friends? Are the two descriptions different?
Both are the same. We love living here because we have the best neighbors who look out for us. Our home is 100+ years old and it is so different than the "cookie cutter" subdivisions of the surrounding county.
Tell us about your ideal snapshot of the neighborhood in 5 years. In 10 years.
I would like to see Crime at its lowest level ever. Not just because the efforts of law enforcement but also due in part to neighbors looking out for each other. I love the current mix of socio economic backgrounds and I hope that in 5 or 10 years we grow even stronger in that area.
