NothingComparestoExpertise Here,ThereandEverywhere.
Any community that can pioneer genetic engineering while also boasting one of the world's greatest Symphony orchestras and earning to the title of "Best Sports City" in America must have something special going for it.What makes St.Louis so attractive?
St.Louis has a sanity about it that's increasingly difficult to find.A balance and degree of comfort that are absolutely exceptional among cities that also offer the kind of world-class assets this community features
It's not just that St.Louis boasts the kind of cultural treasures you'd expect to see only in the very biggest American cities It's not just that it boasts terrific recreational opportunities,from major league sports teams to spectacular parks and gold courses to beautiful hiking and canoeing nearby It's that you can do these things in St.Louis.It's that nothing is out of reach ? in price,in location,in the size of the crowd trying to get in.
Visiting the city's nationally acclaimed Zoo costs ? nothing (thanks to the taxpayers and philanthropists) The Art Museum,the History Museum,the Science Center cost ? nothing The charges for the Symphony and the Missouri Botanical Garden are all highly reasonable.
Not only is the price right ? you can get there St Louis is a "20-minute city" where most of the attractions are within a reasonable distance from most of the people Across most of the region, average communities to work are below the national average of 24 7 minutes

DielmannSotheby's ExclusiveSelections
An Exclusive Selection listing is a property that a Dielmann Sotheby?s International Realty Global Real Estate Advisor can share directly with their colleagues and buyers ? but that isn? t visible on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) Property details aren? t shared widely and won? t appear on public home-search websites
Listing your home as an Exclusive Selection lets you control what information is released regarding your home and remain discreet throughout the sale and marketing process We encourage our sellers to allow us to market their properties via the MLS,to ensure maximum exposure to agents and buyers (an approach that can result in the highest price in the shortest amount of time) Still,we fully understand that privacy may be paramount.
As always,consult your Dielmann Sotheby?s International Realty Global Real Estate Advisor for advice on how an Exclusive Selection could work for you
