St. Louis Property

Rising from the bluffs that line the Mississippi River’s western banks, the city of St. Louis is a true cultural melting pot. The heart of the Greater St. Louis area, which has a population of almost 3 million, the city is home to more than 350,000 residents and is comprised of neighborhoods that are as diverse as its citizens. St. Louis property is just as varied, ranging from picturesque Victorian “painted ladies” to sleek new condos and comfortable single-family homes.

St. Louis Property Types

Generally speaking, each of the city’s more than six dozen official neighborhoods is defined by particular St. Louis property types. The well-maintained historic Lafayette Square neighborhood, for example, features a sterling collection of 19th century homes. Here you’ll find stately Federals dating back to the mid-1800s, more elaborate late Victorian townhouses, turn-of-the-century brick homes, and more contemporary housing options. Often, when people speak of St. Louis property, they’re also referring to real estate in the city’s inner and outer suburbs. Greater St. Louis, after all, is comprised of over a dozen counties in both Missouri and neighboring Illinois, a region that encompasses an area which is almost 9,000 square miles in size.

Some of the suburban communities containing some of the most sought-after homes include Ballwin, Chesterfield, Wildwood, O’Fallon, Lake St. Louis, Clayton, Brentwood, Ladue, and Town and Country. Generally peaceful and defined by a small-town feel, these communities are a popular choice among all kinds of homebuyers.
