"We live right behind Arnold park and Arnold days are held there so that’s fun we can walk there. The city block people from parking here as well so it doesn’t get used."

"Great place to live and raise a family. Small Town feel with big city stores police, fire and EMT first responders adequately staffed with professionals. "

"arnold days held once a year. a few farmers markets. 14 hardware store or something like that. taxes are too high."

"We live here in this neighborhood. We do like it, but there are some pros and cons. Arnold City Park has a wonderful playground, dog park and sport facilities so it's great to be so close. However most of the roads have no sidewalks, so even though we walk to and from the park for fireworks on the 4th of july it doesn't feel safe to be walking in the street with a dog and stroller. Crime in my little neighborhood is low EXCEPT the set of apartments on Potomac, they keep renting to druggies and have had a meth lab and two fires in the past 3 years. Lots of elderly in the area, so it's mostly quiet except those apartments. 5+ large chain Grocery stores in Arnold but you have to go through the busiest part of town so there's sometimes traffic. None in walking distance. Goodwill and Salvation Army plus two local thrift stores, so lots of bargain shopping options. Arnold has a ridiculous number of fast food locations, it's fantastic. Lots of casual dining. Petco and Petsmart, mid-level clothing stores, ice cream shops, WalMart & Target, etc. I can think of 7 gas stations in Arnold off the top of my head. The community is very centered around the local schools and the library/community center is fantastic. We also have a community organized Food Pantry, "Arnold Days" community week with a parade and fun Halloween events. The majority of housing in Arnold is a little older and outdated, lower middle class from the 50s-70s. Not the highest quality or most desirable nowadays but there are also a lot of newer housing developments with more grandiose homes. There are at least two other parks in Arnold, as well as fishing areas off the Meramec River and the Strawberry Ridge wildlife area. Overall I think Arnold makes a good family community, and even though I'm in one of the older crappier houses and wish I had more space, I think this is a good place to raise our child. "
