If applies to cities as well, then the new best place to live in Missouri should be concerned considering the fact that it's located very near what many consider the worst. One of my favorite places rated sites, Homesnacks, has just updated their 10 best places to live in Missouri for this year. Their choice this year for Missouri is Glendale which is located here. The good news about Glendale is their crime rate is very low compared to the rest of Missouri and definitely the greater St. Louis region. It really is the best of both worlds in Missouri if you can afford it.
