There's beauty in the solace of not giving a damn.

Well good thing you set her straight on that, otherwise she'd have certainly taken one look at East St. Louis and thought to herself, "wow, this gleaming little hamlet sure has a thriving, vital downtown area. I think I'll move here!"

Well judging by how rapidly the population has declined in the past 50 years im guessing its not something you need to concern yourself with.

If anyone's moving there, it's desperate people with no better options. Not people with the OP's criteria.

they don't know about illinois, and they might of moved there because it is close to downtown st. louis. and they are looking for a good downtown.

Hi, CCMusica: You can go a long way with $200,000 in the Edwardsville area near the very active downtown. (Even within walking distance.)

I just worked with a buyer to acquire a Craftsman all-brick bungalow there for $114,000. It was not updated, but was a nice, solid house which will be great with some minor cosmetic work inside.

Anyway, Edwardsville is a university town (SIUE) which lends to the diversity and activity throughout the year. Well-reviewed restaurants have opened recently. Coffee shops are thriving and the bars are very mellow places to hang out and meet your neighbors.

Let me know if you have any more specific questions. (And you're right, you can find some amazing architecture in both Granite City and Alton too. It just depends on what area you like when you come to look in person.) Don't worry at all about your price range as you can do very well for $200K.
