When citing St. Louis’s many benefits, the relatively low cost of living is often near the top of the list. But with the city’s rising rent prices, more young people are starting to consider homeownership.
David Lemon is one of the influencers trying to show off the best of St. Louis’s real estate offerings. Lemon’s videos, primarily on Instagram and TikTok, take viewers on a tour of the most interesting residential properties on the market. He’s a real estate agent with a background in sports broadcasting. He is the listing agent on some of the properties but on many others he is not. Rather than being strictly a tool to drive sales, Lemon seeks to showcase the most unique properties on the market.
“I think St. Louis has a lot more beauty than people give it credit for,” he said.
Beyond short-form videos, Lemon cohosts a podcast. In “Overarching,” Lemon and his cohosts discuss current events in St. Louis City and explore potential solutions to some of our region’s long-standing challenges.
Living St. Louis Producer Brooke Butler sat down with Lemon to learn more about his rise and why he’s passionate about what St. Louis has to offer. Watch the segment below and check out our full 314 Day episode, celebrating other St. Louisans moving our region forward, here.
