Hi ManuuRaghuu,

Nice to meet you too....

Are you still living here in STL?

I love this place too.

Mommynme,

Maryland Heights has a lot of apartments and mind you some of them are having huge indian population infact you will feel that you are in India. I have to warn you though, having too many is also a pain IMO.

Let me write down my thoughts on Apartments in Maryland Heights -

Lot of Indians (can be a negative too :rotfl)
Parkway school district - one of the best if not THE best
close to downtown (about 30 minutes)
close to airport

The only negative is that I found the Apartments are very very old and kitchens tend to be tiny.

About schools, why don't I get the information from my friend who has two children over in a school there. I will get back to you probably tonight or tomorrow with the name of the school and also let you know if it is a good one.

Apartments names - I have plenty to give but really cannot recommend which one is the good one. I have personally stayed in Whisper Hollow and I loved it there.

No Jaya,we moved out of STL last summer.:| But ,who knows we might have a chance to live there again as my husband is into consulting.

 

Mommynme,if you are planning to live in MaryLand Heights,may be you should also see Cedar Trace Apts.Those are the only apts i visited once in MaryLand Hts; when one of our friends were living there.I have no idea about maintenance and other things,but the town home apt felt new.They were townhomes and compared to our creve couer the rent was very cheap.

Coming to living nearby Page Ave, i think Oxford Hill Apts can be your best bet.The rents are cheaper here than creve couer,good community of Indians live here,they have a gas connection , bigger apts & more floor plans i think.Just include oxford hills in your list.

 

I also feel like MannuRaghu, that you should put Oxford Hills in your list too. I had a friend there too some 5 years back.

It is far better than Cedar Trace trust me.

I could not stand Woodhollow apartments. It resembled like a hotel corridor once inside the building. The maintenance is horrible to say the least. But i have to say there are so many indians living in that apartment....its mini-india there.

You can check it out when here but I really cannot recommend it.

I would check out these apartments if I were you -

Whisper Hollow
Pheasant Run
Pavillion
Cedar Trace
The colony of St. Louis

Actually you asked me about Cedar Trace...I have no idea about the maintenance part. Since I lived for 4 years in Whisper Hollow, I know only about that.

The area in and around these apartments are generally safe.

About Schools I have no idea. My friends too have no idea as such but they have graded the school District as like this

Ladue is first
Rockwood is second
Parway west and central
Parkway south/north


Will ask around more and let you know if I come across any other information.
