The Grove is an excellent place to live. There are tons of great amenities close by and it's far enough away from school that you feel like you are getting away but still close enough to bike.

Lot of mediocre bars. The restaurants are good but on the far side of the street. The armory and foundry are amazing but far enough away that it’s a long walk and potentially shouldn’t be considered part of this neighborhood

Lots of bars and restaurants nearby, not overly dangerous but I wouldn't walk around alone at night. Very LGBTQ+ friendly area

One of my favorite places to visit since moving to the St. Louis area. Lots of restaurants and a great bar scene when we're not living through a pandemic.
