That is a great location, and you could go your entire life not dealing with the city at all. Unless you really wanted to go to Cards or Blues games, there isn't much of anything you can't access from there and west, including the Airport directly north, . . . and a straight shot to Arrowhead/Kaufmann for that matter.
Plaza Frontenac is really a chic-chic mall, and the next nearest is the Galleria, which is just a couple minutes on the highway and is the second nicest in the metro area.
Even if you wanted to go downtown, the metrolink starts up in a very nice area [Hanley/64-40] right next to the Galleria.
For being so near some much urbanization and amenities, that area really has an air of solitude. Take a stroll on google streetview.
