St Louis is Missouri's largest city — Gateway Arch (the 192m stainless-steel monument to westward expansion, completed 1965) anchors the riverfront. Central West End (cafe-dense, near Forest Park and Washington University) and the Grove (post-industrial bar-and-restaurant district) are the typical nomad anchors; the Tower Grove area is the cheaper residential alternative. The US has no Digital Nomad Visa — ESTA Visa Waiver (90 days) or B-2 visitor visa up to 6 months. Forest Park (larger than Central Park, free museums and zoo) is the structural civic asset. Rents are among the lowest of major US cities. The structural friction is real: post-industrial decline is visible in many neighborhoods, and public transit is thin.
