I love this! I live in St Louis and work for the Metro. I checked it out and found a few properties close to bus routes.
You picked a property which is the subject of much discussion (pro and con) amongst my neighborhood association and the Eastside MAX planning group. :-)
Somewhat related: Somebody in one of those rowhouses apparently acquires and repairs bikes. The past few weekends, they’ve had a big bike sale with dozens of cycles in their driveway and the commercial lot across the street.
It is great to see more people thinking of public transportation when considering the “location, location, location” of their next home. As gas prices begin to rise again, I am sure this trend will continue!
While estately probably targets home owners, I am sure there are many apartments, condos and homes for lease near transportation lines where people can enjoy the benefits of a lifestyle where public transportation can be well utilized.
