Atrium Ranches have steadily gained in popularity as home buyers appreciate the convenience of a ranch style style home in terms of one level living, but then with the addition of the lower level space which, due to the atrium, it typically lighter and brother than the typical finished lower level. The lower level living space comes at a cost lower than that of the first floor so it atrium ranches are also a cost effective choice.
Condominiums, while having a slow start in St Louis, have gained in popularity over the last few years. This is due, in part, aging baby boomers that are becoming "empty nesters" and looking to down size as well as find housing that requires less maintenance and upkeep on their part. The younger population is embracing condominium ownership as well perhaps because of the more "carefree" lifestyle it offers.
Buying a condominium is however quite different than buying a home and prudent due diligence is required to look into the financial strength of the condominium association to assess the possibility of being hit with a special assessment after buying as well as confirm that financing is readily available for the building or development. Many condo's today have limited, sometimes almost no, financing resources available due to either too many investor-owned units or a financially weak, or under-insured, condominium association.

Townhouses, like condominiums, had a slow start in St Louis, however have gained in popularity over the past few years. Townhouse buyers are often prior home owners that are looking for a different type of lifestyle but are not quite ready for a condo as they still desire the look and feel of a house. Many townhouses are either condominiums ore in subdivisions where at least some exterior maintenance is included in the association fees.
Buying a townhouse is quite different than buying a home. If the townhouse part of a condominium association, the financial strength of the condominium association should be reviewed to assess the possibility of being hit with a special assessment after buying. If the townhouse ownership is fee-simple, like a detached home, the financial strength of the subdivision association should be reviewed as well as the existence of, and sufficiency of, a shared wall agreement as well as easements and other agreements that may be needed to assure proper access for maintenance and improvements in the future.

Manchester has a long history. The natural spring that is located in Seibert Park attracted many people because of its readily available fresh water. In the early 1800's a small community began to form as people settled near the spring. This community was then known as "Hoardstown" and was named after the large landowner in the area, James Hoard. After his death in 1825, the community was given the name "Manchester". Manchester Road is the major road that runs through the city and was built as an extension of Market Street in St. Louis. It was once an Indian trail that began at the Mississippi River. It was also once known as Jefferson Road because it connected St. Louis and Jefferson City.
