Students who search furnished apartments Saint Louis MO usually want two things: a place that’s ready on day one and a neighborhood worth living in. Everly on the Loop covers the first. The Delmar Loop in October covers the second. Here is one fall day, start to finish, without moving your car.
What is fall like in furnished apartments Saint Louis MO students rent on the Loop?
Fall on the Loop is the season the street is made for. Summer is sticky and winter is gray, but October gives you cool mornings, patio afternoons and something happening on Delmar most nights.
Everly on the Loop is at 6105 Delmar Boulevard. That address is the point. You step outside and you’re already there.
Morning: coffee, then Forest Park
Start slow. There’s a coffee bar at Everly, so the first cup doesn’t require shoes. Take it up to the rooftop courtyard if the morning is clear.
Then head to Forest Park, which sits just south of the Loop. It’s one of the great city parks in the country, and I’ll stand by that. In October the trees around the lagoons turn, and the paths are full of runners and people walking very happy dogs.
If you want a destination inside the park, the Saint Louis Art Museum has free general admission. An hour with paintings is a good way to forget you have a problem set. Check hours before you go. If you bike, Everly has controlled-access bike storage, and the ride over is short.
Afternoon: walk the Loop like a tourist
You probably rush down Delmar most days. For one afternoon, don’t.
Read the stars on the St. Louis Walk of Fame set into the sidewalk. Flip through records at Vintage Vinyl. Look at what’s coming up on the marquee at The Pageant. Get lunch somewhere with a window and watch the street.
Blueberry Hill is the landmark, the kind of place visiting parents have heard of. It’s been here for decades. Whether you go for a burger or just to say you did, it’s part of living on the Loop.
I won’t list every restaurant. The mix changes, and half the fun is having strong opinions about which place is best. You’ll have yours by November.
What can you do on the Loop at night?
You can see live music, catch a late dinner or do nothing much on a patio. The Pageant books touring acts through the fall, so check its calendar early in the month and grab tickets for one show. Walking home from a concert in five minutes is a small luxury you’ll miss when you graduate.
On a quieter night, stay in. Everly’s rooftop courtyard has a jumbotron TV, a grilling station and a fire pit. Grill something, pull chairs up to the fire, put a game on the big screen. In October you’ll want a sweatshirt and not much else.
How does campus fit into a day like this?
Easily. Everly runs shuttle service to WashU, so a class in the middle of the day doesn’t break the plan. Check the current schedule and build around it.
This matters more as the month goes on. Midterms tend to land in October, and there’s a 24-hour computer lounge and a group study room in the building for the nights you need them. A good Saturday on the Loop is easier to enjoy when you know Sunday’s work has a place to happen.
What should you know about the end of October?
Halloween is a Saturday this year, October 31, and the Loop will be busy. Decide early whether you want to be in the crowd or above it on the roof.
The next morning, Sunday, November 1, daylight saving time ends. Evenings get dark early from there. The walk home from a late class or the shuttle stop is short, and Everly has key fob entry, controlled building access and courtesy security. Still, go home with a friend when you can.
That’s a fall day. Your apartment is fully furnished, so the only thing you had to set up was the plan. You can see the rooftop in the gallery.
