"Meet Me in St. Louis"
Welcome to the home of the Gateway Arch, the 1904 World's Fair and rhythm and blues. Those of us who live here feel fortunate that we do, as we believe that St. Louis and the entire metropolitan region offers so much. Roughly estimated as the 18th largest city in America-larger than Denver, but smaller than Dallas-Ft. Worth--St. Louis is bigger than you imagine, yet oddly more intimate. A city of kings (Budweiser and "The Hill") and castles, aerospace and innovation, she is the undisputed "Gateway to the West" and a lot more cosmopolitan than the rest of the world would like you to believe.
Downtown St. Louis offers so many activities, attractions and nightlife for those who want a vibrant city life. Many choices abound for places to call home. Whether you choose the city lifestyle or something more suburban, St. Louis has something for you.
St. Louis and St. Charles Counties offer a suburban lifestyle that is multifaceted. Both counties offer myriad opportunities for places to live and things to do. Critically acclaimed restaurants and a variety of shopping malls and strip centers are available to meet every need, from the common to the unique. St. Louis County also boasts being the home of the largest strip shopping center in the country. The St. Louis Mills Mall covers over 1 million square feet of retail space with tons of specialty shops.
St. Charles County, just to the west of St. Louis city and county, has a proud past and promising future. It has the distinction of being the organization point of the Lewis & Clark Expedition in 1804 and serving as Missouri's first state capitol. Today, it serves as the county seat of the state's fastest growing county and is the second largest city in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Activities available include everything from historic Old Town St. Charles with its cobblestone streets offering many restaurants and shops to the wineries of Augusta where wine tasting is an art.

Buying Land and New Construction >How Easements Affect Your Land
It is extremely important to discover whether there are easements on undeveloped land you are thinking about buying. An easement is the legal right to use another person's land for a specific, acknowledged purpose. Easements can significantly affect your development and use of the property.
A typical easement might permit the use of a dirt fire road that cuts through both the neighbor's property and your land. The road provides access to both properties, and your neighbor has to drive through yours to get to his. The house you build has to be situated ten to fifteen feet away from this access road. If the road cuts through the middle of the lot, you might have difficulty finding room for the house you want to build.
Consult with your real estate agent, an attorney or a title researcher for accurate information about the easements. When making an offer on undeveloped land with an easement issue, be sure to include a contingency that you must approve of any existing easements, or the offer is null and void.
