The West End Terrace is a decently large community at the corner of Maryland and Taylor Avenues. It is approximately a 15-20-minute walk from my door to walking into class. It has a combination of more basic one and two-bedroom units, as well as more expensive “renovated” units. The entire community and large outdoor free parking lot is enclosed by a gate. The management has been pretty helpful in my experience. There is a laundry facility in the complex, as well as a small workout center (mostly free weights and a few treadmills). All units have central A/C, and having lived in St. Louis the past six years and Texas before that, this is a must-have for me.
