La Belle Dame

A new post AND good news for those of you looking for a big, beautiful historic home in a safe neighborhood for under 100K.

Let me present 301 N. Jackson.
Located in hip downtown Belleville, this house is within 3 blocks of all of the new restaurants, bars and boutiques of Mainstreet. Did I mention this house is 5 blocks from the MetroLink station? Super convenient to everything, and 20 minutes to downtown St. Louis.
La belle dame does need a little work, but the architectural details will send you swooning. With over 4,000 square feet, and 2 car garage in the original carriage house this would be the perfect house for someone looking for a lot of space.

Need more perks?
* Low property tax
* Illinois has lower income tax than Missouri, and is more lenient for those who work in Missouri and live in Illinois (unlike Missouri)
* You can live in a gorgeous historic neighborhood w/ an urban feel and NOT pay the 1% St. Louis City income tax
* Be a part of an up and coming community. Downtown Belleville is undergoing serious renovation, and we have tons of events in the downtown area throughout the year (i.e. Art on the Square, The Chili Festival, Jazz & Wine Festival)
* Job growth. Not only is Boeing building a new manufacturing plant here, but we also have several hospitals. Belleville Memorial has seen huge growth in its patient population and is expanding with the construction of neurology and orthopedic buildings on its campus, not to mention the newly renovated/expanded ER.
* Great neighbors

  1. OMG. That huge space for UNDER $100,000? In my neighborhood that price won't buy you a garage. It won't even buy you a lot. And it's beautiful!

    Illinois? Hm...
