As far as the pictures of housing in St. Louis, very nice! Denver has the EXACT same thing in several locations! Try looking at the houses around the Zoo and Museum Of Science off Colorado. Exact same thing!

I'm sure there are, but the rolling hills in St. Louis really add a lot. My friends said some of the suburbs reminded them of a ski resort town. Lots of trees & hills, along with nice little shops, and it was snowing when we went.
Here are just a few cookie cutter homes in central Denver where the rednecks can blow a million dollars + alone for the lot to build on, FYI.. Highlands Ranch is not in Denver..
I don't think there's even a comparison. Why would anyone want to move to St. Louis? Seriously? There's a ton of cities similar to St Louis that offer a much greater quality of life. Denver's a gem. There's a post today about murder rates and St Louis is near the top. No thanks.

Why would anyone want to live in St. Louis over Denver? I'll take a stab at it....
St. Louis also has one of the top 3 zoos in the country (with free admission) as well as other fantastic cultural amenities. That's just part of it, but there are plenty of reasons to want to live in St. Louis.
As far as crime, St. Louis, like even Mayberry (Denver), has good and bad neighborhoods. Any major city has good and bad neighborhoods.

FYI I didn't bring up Highlands Ranch, I was simply replying to someone who brought it up. No need for the sarcastic eye roll.

St. Louis crime rates are inflated because it only includes the city of St. Louis which is a very small part of the metro area. 350,000 out of 2.8 million. Besides the north part of the city and East St. Louis across the river, the rest of the metro is pretty safe. If St. Louis city & county were counted as one, then the crime stats would look much different. It would have 1.3 million people & a population density comparable to other major cities.
Denver is combined with the county, so it's only fair to compare Denver to St. Louis city & county. I'm sure there would still be more crime in Stl, but no city is perfect.
Denver mayberry? Please! St. Louis has always been one of the worst crime metros in the country! Don't try to play it up like it has not been! Sure there are a few areas that up the numbers. Fix it! Been that way for years, with no results. Look at the poll results already. Landslide. Lower cost of living because it is LESS DESIRABLE. Hell the only time my family ever stopped to visit the Arch and museum underneath it (cool place, did not even know of the museum) our vehicle was broke into, and all of our Christmas gifts stolen, and our dumb dog was left to wander around. You can defend the lou all you want, but it CANNOT compete with Denver as a whole. Sure it has some better parts, but not overall!
