Crestwood, MO

Crestwood is a sweet little area near the University of Missouri-Kansas City campus, where you have to be very short to be a resident.

I was getting the vibe that they wouldn't appreciate people taking pictures of their houses, so I only took pictures of houses for sale:

All the yards and gardens are so well maintained that I felt that if you went two days too

long without weeding or cutting the grass, a neighborhood group would come calling.

They even have a neighborhood shopping district for your everyday shopping needs (if your everyday shopping needs include alpaca sweaters, Georgian antiques and $7 coffees).

So, in conclusion, while Crestwood may be near a university campus, it is nothing like our favorite college town.
