IMO, it's a mixed bag. You could find from old money boring mansions, to boring McMansions, to boring neighborhoods, to boring trailer parks, depending the school district rep.
Question to Americans!

What’s a McMansion?

St. Louis Fag here. I have lived in the City and the County. My parents were South City working class whites that moved to St. Louis County in the 1980's.
I own rental property in some rougher areas. Here is the truth. The northern part of the city is as lawless as Afghanistan. Police Bros I know don't go to certain areas unless it is force. Most of the murders take place in and around there. There is bleed off from that area where there is violence in North St. Louis County and in South St. Louis. South St. Louis is nice and has beautiful parks. But, the Police are overwhelmed and do not investigate certain crimes that well, and even worse now. I had one of my rental properties broken into this past week. The police just made a phone report.
There are certain places I would not go after 5 pm. I have gone to places I shouldn't have and wished I had not. As long as you keep your head down and mind your own business people do not mess with you generally. But, I am armed wherever I go in the city. I do not mess around with my safety. Lots of random robberies in the city.
East St. Louis is like Mars. It is so fucked up and poor its crazy. If and when I have to travel through there I do not stop. I just run red lights and stop signs. I only go through East St. Louis to get to court or if my friends from out of town want to go to the strip club.
The reason why we have a bad reputation is the city is constantly mismanaged. The prosecutor can't actually prosecute and doesn't try cases. The police hate her, and lots of mid major crimes just go unpunished. Lots of financial mismanagement, and there is very little accountability. In St. Louis County the smaller municipalities are pretty solid. Lots of accountability and very little mismanagement.

Yes it is.
And the metro link brings the subhuman filth to many areas of the city and county.

Poorly designed large house that has an emphasis on large gaudy fixtures that has very little design aesthetic. I was once told my an architect that you can download the plans for them online.

Southwest is the white part of St. Louis. And if you live southwest of town in one of the smaller towns it is even whiter
