Just got orders to St. Louis...

[Birdbats]

I live in O'Fallon, just minutes from Scott AFB. Many of my neighbors work on the base. It's actually a great area, and just 20 minutes from Busch. If you're looking for a place to live, let me know -- I can give you the scoop on the area.

Wow thats weird, because I have actually been looking for apartments in O'Fallon. My supervisor is from the area and said that O'Fallon is a great area to live. I'm having a hard time looking online though. Would you know any decent websites that would help my search out? Currently im just jumping on apartments.com or rent.com and searching on there, but havent been able to find much.

Murf,

You private messages are shut off.

Shoot your email to Birdbats & myself. I live right next to O'Fallon. I can ask around about apartments in the area. What's your preferred background noise for sleeping? Silence? Trains? Gunfire?

lmao well i've about had it with the gunfire...let's change it up and go with silence. On a serious note though, I've got a wife and 2 small kids so I'm looking for the best neighborhood possible.

im at work right now so my email here is steven.murphy@kadena.af.mil and my home address is murfsteve25@yahoo.com i appreciate the help!

I've got some friends that have lived in the O'fallon/Fairview Heights area for years and they like it. O'fallon is probably your best bet plus it's close to base.

You definately should check out as many Cardinal games as possible. I don't know if you're a hockey fan but Blues tickets are fairly cheap.

I don't know much about apartments in the area. There are some nicer, newer ones near I-64 at exit 16, which is an easy drive to Scott. Some are in O'Fallon, some are in Shiloh. You might want to consider renting a house instead. Lots of vacant homes for sale around here that also have "leasing" signs in front of them. Will you actually get to visit the area and look around before you have to make a decision? BTW, if you have kids, O'Fallon's schools are the best in the area.

once i arrive at Scott, ill be put up in a hotel for about 2 weeks. during which time i'll be in search for a place to reside. i should probably quit stressing over it and just check everything out once i get there.

Hey Hey!

Just arrived at Scott AFB yesterday. I like this place, feels good to be back in America. Decided to just live on base (cant beat free housing). I move in tomorrow, it's actually a really nice house. I've been driving around the area since I've been here. There is absolutely nothing around the base itself but heading west on I-64 are some nice shopping centers and a pretty nice mall. I got bored this afternoon and drove over to Busch stadium. Niiiiice!
