The Mail room's are no big deal.....I meet nice people there always. Many things not mentioned are in fact,.... pretty cool. There's a Triathlon each year, 4th of July parade that's a blast. The pool is huge with a lazy river as well as an "Adult" pool called the Blue Agave. If you're a Foodie, you'll love the BBQ, Mexican, and great pizza at Pauley's , Wings and cold beer being served at Padavan's,...it's New Town's Sports bar. The CONCERTS! Dr. Zhivegas played in the Amphitheater, some guess there was 10 thousand people there,...it was a blast. Golf cars cruise around almost as if it's the primary source of transportation,...and there's some pretty sweet examples,...it's like a car show for golf carts everywhere. Police and Private Security keep the knuckleheads out as you walk around the town with your dogs,....and ice cream from a cute little shop next to the BBQ spot. There's live music, beach volleyball, fishing, paddle boarding and swimming in the abundant lakes and canals. The Coffee bar is better than Starbucks and Sweet Things Bakery can make anything! They serve all sorts of treats right in the middle of town. Need a Dog Groomer, Dentist, Insurance, a Veterinarian, or a make over? All right here. The Grocery store is terrific, they even have a Deli with awesome tasting, very different sandwiches. Boars Head meats, crazy stuff no body would normally have, they have it, almost like a mini Straubs. The HOA is cool,...they keep NT looking like the Developer intended,...for decades to come. Once the lots are sold,...the prices should skyrocket. I think a great Investment in Real Estate just because of supply and demand principles.
Orchard Farms School District is one of the finest in the state. My grandson, and some of his classmates, won a STATE level competition here last month, and were entered into an INTERNATIONAL Competition a couple of weeks ago. Good stuff.
I live in Illinois. I’ve heard of new town and yesterday was the first time I have ever been in the neighborhood. It was weird. First, thought was this looks like a movie set. Second thought the house style looks out of place in the Midwest. Third thought after watching this video- that kind of money for postage stamp size yard and being on top of my neighbors is a big fat no for me. Last thought, walkable I guess but walkable means more than a restaurant, trinket shop. It means accessing essential services like schools, libraries, your job. So walkable is a bit of stretch.
Lived in St. Charles when I was a kid, the tight nit community was great. Loved going to the Bridge for coffee after school and heading to the amphitheater for activities. I will say I know my Dad always complained about the terrible HOA rules and a lot of the older houses looking the same. Glad it’s still doing well, I have very fond memories of that place!
I love hearing that! :) It really is an awesome community so I'm super happy to hear it brings back good memories
Is living in a flood plain surrounded by levees that trap in water during extreme rain events good for anybody????
I get Amazon boxes delivered to my door 1-3x's each week. They have never taken anything to the mail room.
That’s good to hear
Thanks for this video. Great as usual. We find New Town beautiful and may consider it someday. However, the "extra tight knit community" vibe and strong HOA may take give us pause.....to be continued..lol.
Totally hear you and you're not alone! Haha. thanks for watching again :D
I promise it will literally grow on you lbs
Thank you for the content, are there any theme parks around St Louise area ?
In Eureka there's Six Flags St. Louis -- that's by far the biggest one around
@@LivingStLouis thank you
I lived in New Town for awhile. It wasn't for me so I sold my house and didn't look back. The houses are not well made, way to close together and the neighborhood was looking rundown by the time I left. The mailbox thing is a pain in the ass. I obviously bought on a whim and didn't think it through.
Those are definitely some valid points! I feel like the design & lifestyle of it are something that either draws people in or pushes them away if it's too much. The mailboxes would annoy me too personally
I live in New Town. You're an idiot. Whitaker builds excellent homes. The house I paid $285k for, seven years ago, is now worth $492K.
OK. The mailboxes. This is a HUGE issue here in New Town. Only so many oversize mailboxes for shipping. Post office blames New Town, New Town blames the Post office. IF you use the USPS, you're screwed. Thirty boxes for three thousand homes.
That's super frustrating - do you typically get Amazon to your door or does it go to the mail room?
If you're 65, then your property taxes will NEVER go up. This is something new that St. Charles County has initiated. This is huge for seniors (like my wife and I), on relatively fixed incomes.
Yes! It's actually 62 for the tax freeze!
@@LivingStLouis - Hmmm...Pretty sure it's 65, but if it is 62, then even better. Just started, for this coming year. Has to be applied for, annually.
@@dennissvitak5475 Yep! According to the county's site it's 62 so even better: www.sccmo.org/2343/Seniors-Real-Estate-Property-Tax-Relief-
@@LivingStLouis - That's the same site I was on, just a week or two ago. Thanks!
Wish they could of kap building out & turn the place into a new city with a skyline like Clayton
newtown does get floding i live in st charles but not in newtown my dentist is on elm st right before newtown he got flooding last spring the homes are so close together practically no yards would never live there especially with that hoa which is very strict very cookie cutter looking place
Several things are not accurate in this video.
Such as?
Agree Jaymie!! Not all accurate!!
Agreed. I don’t think Amazon has ever delivered a package to the mail center for me. Always to the door. This video also makes it sound like Charlestown is part of New Town.
@@michaelbussen9163 That is a very good point that has been brought up. It was definitely a mistake in the filming of this video to not differentiate them and instead lump them together without adequately explaining the distinction. It was misleading the way I explained Charlestown as part of New Town
Wish could of kap building out if the area wasn't a flood zone
It's nice but I would still prefer to live in the old Saint Charles area.
Totally valid point! New Town is nothing like the historic part of St Charles
Ive heard strange things about the neighborhood...
I'm not surprised haha what did you hear?
@@LivingStLouisis it true it’s a swinger community? I just head this today.
@@hurt1704 - I live in New Town. For years, there was a rumor of "swingers", that would use a pineapple symbol on their house or porch. Complete BS, but there ya go.
@@dennissvitak5475 thanks man. I didn’t really care either way, but I love it there. Gf is in ofallon and that old rumor still goes around haha
Charleston has NOTHING to do with New Town. They are completely separate communities.
Yes that was a mistake in this video
