Life in St. Louis
In 1996, Fortune Magazine named St. Louis one of the nation's best places to live
and work. And for good reason. The Greater St. Louis region has big city amenities,
small city charm and the second-lowest cost of living of any of America's 20 largest
metropolitan areas. Excellent schools, short commutes and a wide array of entertainment
and recreation choices add up to a quality of life that's hard to beat.
Additionally, The Associate: The
Magazine for Young Lawyers just ranked St.
Louis as the ninth-best city for young attorneys to practice law. St. Louis
earned this distinction, in part, for offering competitive salaries and a below
national average cost of living.
With diverse neighborhoods catering to a variety of tastes, selecting where
to live can be a difficult task. Luckily, there are few places in our greater
metropolitan area that cannot be easily reached in 30 minutes or less.
St. Louis and its surrounding suburbs offer a remarkable amount of green space,
a myriad of historical sites, art venues and more. A prime example is Forest
Park. Located four miles west of downtown, Forest Park is greater in size than
New York's Central Park and is home to The St. Louis Zoo, The St. Louis Science
Center, The Muny and The St. Louis Art Museum. It also is a refuge for nature
lovers, golfers, students, picnickers, and exercise enthusiasts.
Quality healthcare institutions, excellent schools, short commutes and advanced
educational opportunities make St. Louis an attractive choice. Whatever you
like to do, there are sports, entertainment, educational, and recreational venues
to indulge your interests. Savvis Center, Busch Stadium, and the Edward Jones
Dome reign as sports lovers' meccas. Patrons of the arts frequent the Fabulous
Fox Theatre, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and St. Louis' many wonderful museums.
Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the Missouri Botanical Gardens, Six Flags theme park,
popular casinos and riverboat excursions, and numerous regional parks.
