Subprime sagas. Plummeting prices. Converted condos. Who’s to make sense of real estate in St. Louis with the ever-changing landscape? Relax, weary reader. What follows is a blueprint of the bright spots and potential pitfalls for house hunters and owners. We’ve laid out 9 living options, from ranch houses to rehab projects, condos to countryside bungalows, with firsthand accounts from locals who’ve been there, done that. We’ve also collected (free) advice from industry experts —realtors, contractors, and brokers—on everything you should know when it’s time to buy or sell. And we’ve compiled a guide to 42 neighborhoods that spans home prices, crime stats, and more. Plus: Discover the 10 priciest pads around, as well as the room that NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice built.
