The area is very well kept with decent schools and a lot of people in the military or who work for the base live there.
Belleville schools are crap unles you send your kids to Althoff catholic School. Belleville is a quickly becoming a ghetto. If you are moving to Scott Air Base then move to Ofallon, Mascoutah, Highland, or any other school district except Belleville. Stay East of Belleville. Anything west from Belleville to the St. Louis Airport is ghetto.Check this out on a daily basis and you will see what I mean. this is every day in Belleville.http://www.bnd.com/news/local/story/1042��
