DeBaliviere place is a great neighborhood for WashU grad school students. It's very peaceful, full of pretty trees, and charming vintage apartment buildings nestled between blocks of stately mansions. There's always friendly neighbors out walking their dogs. And it's right next to Forest Park. Campus is about a mile away to the west, just a little too far to walk to class regularly, but the Metro station is within walking distance, taking you to campus in under a minute. To the east, the Central West End - full of bars and restaurants- is about a mile away as well, also easily accessible via the Metro. DeBaliviere Place offers the perfect balance: a peaceful neighborhood retreat where campus and bars/restaurants are still within easy reach.

Great neighborhood, one of the safest (I think top 5 safest) in St Louis. Mack's Bar is a great place to hang out with other law students for happy hour, and the neighborhood is full of students and professionals who work at the hospital or university. The transit options are great whether you're going to campus, the loop, or central west end. Also it's great having Forest Park so close.

Pershing Ave itself is very well lit, there are a couple cute cafes and restaurants but nothing too loud or crazy, and the street is mostly apartments that house college students so it feels safe. I would feel uncomfortable walking alone very far off the street, but there are always young people walking dogs or going for runs nearby.

I really like my neighborhood. It is quiet and very dog friendly. People in the neighborhood are very friendly. Its also right across the street from Forest Park which I think is a huge plus. Also, like I mentioned it is pretty close to campus as well. There aren't many shops or restaurants within walking distance, which I don't mind because they are all very accessible (only a 8 minute drive or so to CWE and the Loop). I actually prefer this because it keeps the neighborhood much quieter.

The neighborhood is nice- there’s a cafe in the bottom of my building and a few shops/cafes in walking distance. Otherwise it’s pretty much just residential buildings/houses with Forest Park right across the street. Also very close to the loop (tons of restaurants/theater/bars)

Great street, so many of my young professional or graduate student friends moved to this street after living elsewhere in the central west end. Safe street, gets pretty busy but can always find parking. Super close to WashU, Barnes Jewish and the Cwe.

I haven't personally had any issues with the Debaliviere neighborhood. Very few restaurants/bars but it's not far to the Delmar Loop or Central West End which both have plenty.

Quiet. No through traffic, only one entry, other areas gated. Nothing to do within a few blocks but convenient location between WashU and CWE
