Though it isn’t named after the beloved blue Muppet, the Grover neighborhood in Wildwood, Missouri, is just as cute and charming. “Grover is a beautiful little village which now comprises much of Wildwood’s commercial core on Old Manchester Road and the surrounding area,” says Kathy Bradley, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. “Living in Grover offers residents a more rural feel than other parts of St. Louis County while still providing great amenities like shopping and highly ranked schools.”
