Check out the Ely Walker Lofts, Lucas Lofts, 10th street Lofts, Warehouse 13. There are plenty of others that are good but these are just off the top of my head all located downtown.

The company (Veal Realty) has a website with several buildings in the area and looks to be legitimate. They are also listed with the BBB and while their score isn't amazing they did respond to and help resolve two complaints against them.

I can't open CL at work, but would love to know the address of the listing and the rent, just out of curiosity. (My lease runs another 3 months)

Yeah, I would not expect granite counters, maple cabinets, and new (or even newly refinished) hardwoods in a 2bd for $850 in CWE. I'm assuming parking is extra, but even then, very good price.

When I was looking at apartments back in May/June, I noticed their listings at different addresses had the same exact photos. I never ended up making any appointments to look at any of their places, so I can't say for sure whether they use "stock" photos in their CL ads or if they just ended up remodeling a lot of places to look the exact same.

To the OP: I would definitely come up here and visit to look at the neighborhoods and apartments. STL (in fairness, like all cities) is very patchy. You're fine in any of the suburban areas but the city life definitely leaves some undesirable characteristics. This will be true of areas 'close to CWE' (but not truly located IN the CWE) as well as Washington Ave and U-City.

I'd recommend looking in some of the nicer parts of South City near Tower Grove or Forest Park. Downtown St. Louis doesn't have much going on besides a few patches of bars and some night clubs. You'd do much better living elsewhere if you asked me, especially as a young female new to the area.
