Welcome to St. Louis!

On the banks of the Mississippi River and recognized as one of the world's most recognizable man-made monuments in the world, the St. Louis Arch towers 63 stories. Designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, the Arch is ranked along with the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty as one of the world's greatest architectural achievements.

As a city filled with history and iconic neighborhoods dating back to the settlement of St. Louis in 1764, the history of our country's westward expansion is shared with citizens and visitors alike throughout the Arch Museum located in the iconic St. Louis Arch.

We have many highlights to boast about in our great city, one of them being the beautiful architecture seen throughout the St. Louis area. In the early days of St. Louis, many European settlers made the trek to St. Louis by boat or wagon train and left their mark on our fine city. The French and Spanish influence is seen in the beautiful architecture in our many distinctive residential neighborhoods. From small abodes to the mansions built before the 1904 World's Fair, the diversity is what makes our city unique.

Hiring a seasoned real estate professional to find the neighborhood just for you will make all the difference in the world while transitioning to your new home and surroundings (pages 10-24). You will find just as many school options to choose from, too, as you search for the perfect match for your children (pages 26-37).

In between, there is so much fun to be had in St. Louis, and many are free including the Saint Louis Zoo, Missouri History Museum and the Saint Louis Art Museum, all located in Forest Park.

Do you like baseball? Then you are really going to love it here!

Hope to see you soon!

Central West End. The Central West End is right across from Forest Park, caddy-corner to Washington University and five minutes from downtown. However, most residents find few reasons to leave the neighborhood. The business district’s cobblestone streets are dense with restaurants, stores and galleries. Not far from the Central West End’s business district you will find gated streets lined with turn-of-the-century mansions and larger historic homes. The area also includes high-rise apartments, condominiums and luxury apartments.

Compton Heights. Located on the near Southside of the City of St. Louis in the shadow of the water tower Reservoir Park, Compton Heights is one of the earliest planned residential developments. Established in 1889, the vibrant neighborhood has wide setbacks, curving streets, remarkable vistas and more than 200 homes.

A historic district, Compton Heights provides residents with the ambiance of Victorian living.

Dogtown. Just south of Forest Park and the Saint Louis Zoo is a neighborhood affectionately known as “Dogtown.” This lively, tree-lined neighborhood consists of smaller, older homes, apartments and local restaurants and bars; it also boasts a front-row view of the St. Patrick’s Day parade route during the city’s popular Irish celebration.

The Hill. Settled in the late 19th century by immigrants from northern Italy and Sicily, this well-established neighborhood embraces its heritage. The Hill prides itself on meticulously maintained homes, locally renowned ItalianAmerican restaurants, bakeries, delis and specialty grocers.

Holly Hills. In the early 1920s, developer William A Federer, with partners Gus Arendes and Don Livingston Sr., purchased land from the Missouri Pacific Railroad and developed that land as the Holly Hills neighborhood. The name "Holly Hills" derived from Hollywood and was intended to reflect a similar level of grace and elegance. The first building permit in the community was issued in 1926.

In addition to Victorian mansions, you will find luxury apartments, lofts and condominiums.

St. Louis Hills. Constructed between 1930 and 1960, most of the homes in St. Louis Hills are brick, but their architectural styles include gingerbread bungalows, larger ranch houses and an eight-sided Art Deco house. Like many St. Louis City neighborhoods, the community is centered around green space — in this case, 60-acre Francis Park, which hosts a weekly outdoor concert series during the summer months.

Shaw Neighborhood. Bordering the west side of this historic neighborhood is the Missouri Botanical Garden, planned and installed by Henry Shaw. Shaw Neighborhood received its historic designation in 1985 and boasts beautiful, grand homes from the turn of the century and spacious multi-family dwellings within walking distance of the Garden and Tower Grove Park. Today, the neighborhood is filled with bistros, coffee houses, florists and art galleries.

Within walking distance of Forest Park, Washington University and the Delmar “Loop," the area was designated a Local Historic District in 1978. The large singlefamily homes and expansive apartment buildings, ranging in style from Classic to Tudor Revival to bungalow-style, boast exquisite early 20th-century architectural details in their art glass, millwork and fireplace mantels.

Today, the market still remains open all year.

Homes in this area range from impressive mansions to quirky, turn-of-the-century flats with pocket doors and fireplaces. Both neighborhoods are demographically mixed, housing residents in historic homes to graduate students. Also of note is South Grand Boulevard, an up-and-coming stretch of ethnic restaurants, hip bars and shops.

Maplewood’s section of Manchester Road is a street lined with four-star restaurants and unique boutiques and businesses.

When tourists think of destinations in St. Louis to visit, the two most obvious choices are the Gateway Arch and the Saint Louis Zoo. Though both deserve a visit, a new contender is rising in St. Louis as one of the city’s best attractions: Union Station.

Though the last passenger train left St. Louis Union Station in 1978, it still remains a destination for tourists and locals alike looking for an authentic St. Louis experience.

The building itself was designed by architect Theodore C. Link who pulled inspiration from the Carcassonne in France. Union Station’s high walls and solitary towers are outshined only by its 65-foot barrel-vaulted ceiling and wrought-iron chandelier.

With its iconic architecture and long history in St. Louis, Union Station is now a place of growth inside city limits. Over the past several years, it’s undergone a revitalization that brings it back to its original importance and integrity in St. Louis. Check out some of Union Station’s newest attractions!

Creating Something New Established in a historic Midtown building, the City Foundry STL has created a community space where you can gather, eat, work and play.

By Moe Godat Photography courtesy of City Foundry STL.

Midtown St. Louis was a manufacturing hub for the city 100 years ago when Century Electric first purchased the building now known as City Foundry STL, and both the area and the building use this rich history to promote a new wave of growth in the community.

City Foundry STL houses first-to-the-area makers and merchants, old and new restaurants and musical performances. In the winter, the foundry houses many pop-tenants including Sanctioned Sneaker Collective, which plans to stay as a permanent tenant this year. Also expected in 2022 is the arrival of Puttshack,

an upscale mini golf experience. A mural from internationally known street artist Case Maclaim wraps around an exterior wall on Foundry Way, showcasing a promising new affinity toward the arts.

The heart of City Foundry STL comes from its hard working roots; Century Electric, the original building owner, was one of the top 3 manufacturers in the city, making motors and generators that were sold internationally.

In fact, Century’s motors helped spark the development of small household appliances.

While the foundry changed owners over the years, and the products produced there

changed, one thing did not: nearly 24-houra-day work continued on the site until 2007.

The foundry’s walls tell a story that’s uniquely St. Louis. They speak of more than a century of grit, hard work and determination. But most of all, of constant transformation. It’s a transformation driven by inspiration, creativity and collaboration – and the vision to create something new. Located along I-64, Midtown is now a place to stop and experience rather than just to drive through.

Opened in August of 2021, The Food Hall at City Foundry STL brings together the rich cultural backgrounds of St. Louisans in a hub

of new restaurants. Here, you can find some St. Louis favorites in their new location and new additions to the area with flavors from across the globe.

After eating, you can check out the many cultural and entertainment attractions available and walk through some of the new grocery and retail spaces, such as Fresh Thyme Market and VibeSzn. A proud part of the Midtown community, City Foundry STL wants locals and visitors alike to come in and be a part of a new creative movement in St. Louis.

SPORTS HEAVEN St. Louis: A Community Built On Sports

By Julia Johns and Ashley McGoff

In St. Louis, sports are the way of life. Everyone is a fan, and all St. Louisans are united by that passion. Our teams give us something in common, but we are more than just fellow fans: we are a family. When you are surrounded by thousands of friends, each game becomes a powerful, shared experience, and it is this phenomenon that makes St. Louis a destination in the world of sports. This would not be possible, however, without our world-class facilities.

The Enterprise Center—a modern, 12-story glass and concrete building—ranks among the top arenas in the country. Hosting about 175 events per year and attracting two million annual guests, it is a great source of pride in the city. Most importantly though, the Enterprise Center is the home of the St. Louis Blues—otherwise known as the 2019 Stanley Cup Champions. Since 1994, die-hard Blues fans have packed the arena, and after decades of unwavering support, they were rewarded. On June 12, 2019, the Blues

earned their first Stanley Cup. Their journey brought St. Louis together like never before. Hundreds of thousands of fans flooded the streets in support with the Enterprise Center serving as the hub of the uncontainable excitement.

Often the source of its own fanfare is Busch Stadium, the home of the 11-time World Series Champions the St. Louis Cardinals. Opened in 2006, the retro-style downtown ballpark is majestic and distinct. Yet its red brick exterior still fits in with the surrounding buildings because it’s not just a great ballpark: it’s a St. Louis ballpark. Busch seats more than 46,000 and on any given day, is packed with a sea of red-clad fans. Spend just one day here, and you’ll learn why we are, in fact, the Best Fans In Baseball. And if nothing else, then you can take in the view; beyond the outfield, the stadium frames the stunning downtown St. Louis skyline and Gateway Arch.

Located across the street is Ballpark Village. All St. Louis RELOCATING IN SAINT LOUIS 2022

sports teams and fans have a home in this sports-anchored, mixed-use district. There is a lot to explore and experience, but it is centered around several one-of-a-kind attractions. If you’d like to indulge in our distinguished baseball history, you can visit the Cardinals Nation Museum and Hall of Fame; it’s worthwhile considering few franchises can rival the acclaim and heritage of the St. Louis Cardinals. Then, you can see how baseball past, present and future have been united by visiting Busch II Infield. Here, fans can walk on the old ballpark’s diamond: the same ground where legends have played ball.

Once you’re finished surveying history, you can visit the Budweiser Brew House, a three-level venue dedicated to food, beer and friends. Whether you’re looking for indoor or outdoor dining, nightlife or a magnificent rooftop view of Busch Stadium, the Brew House has it all. If it’s game day for the Cardinals or Blues, however, then you must visit Bally Sports Live!, the core of Ballpark Village. Featuring a 1,200-square-foot HDTV, this two-level plaza offers the best watch parties in the country.

Throughout Ballpark Village, there are additional bar, dining and entertainment options with even more to come. Still being developed is a Class-A office building; a luxury residential tower, One Cardinal Way; a Live! by Loews hotel and further retail, restaurant and entertainment space. Without a doubt, Ballpark Village is the city’s most significant development in a decade because it’s well on its way to becoming one

The Soul of

STL

Your quick tour of FOREST PARK.

2022 RELOCATING IN SAINT LOUIS

Whether you’re moving to a spacious suburb or to an apartment in the heart of the city, you’ll always have access to the area’s “regional backyard,” Forest Park. Measuring 1,293 acres, Forest Park is nearly 500 acres larger than New York City’s Central Park and also ranks as the 6th most visited urban park in the United States.

Since its establishment in 1876, Forest Park has served as a refuge for both local wildlife and its 13 million annual visitors. Many still consider Forest Park “the soul of St. Louis,” a nickname tied to its role in preserving the metropolitan area’s natural beauty while also containing several major cultural institutions.

The founders of Forest Park intended for the area to be open to everyone regardless of economic status, so many of its attractions are free for general admission. The Saint Louis Zoo was recently voted America’s Top Free Attraction and also the best zoo in the United States, housing over 17,000 wild animals of roughly 560 species and drawing in three million visitors annually.

While at the zoo, stop by and check out the new Primate Canopy Trails. It’s a 35,000-square-foot outdoor expansion connected to the Primate House, consisting of eight new outdoor homes for primates. The first-of-its-kind primate habitat and guest experience includes climbing structures that allow guests to explore the forest canopy next to the animals, while learning through play and exploration about conservation challenges primates are facing in the wild — and discovering solutions to help.

After you hang out with the monkeys, visit some of the park’s other free attractions, such as the Saint Louis Art Museum, which contains work spanning five millennia from six continents, or the Saint Louis History Museum, which provides an in-depth look at the city’s influence on American culture. These locations provide new exhibitions every year that remain on display for several months before new ones take their places. These exhibitions often require an additional fee, but inclusive memberships to either museum are also available.

C You don’t need to be a science buff to enjoy the Saint Louis Science Center, which also offers a free general admission to displays designed for all ages. This location’s main attraction is the James S. McDonnell Planetarium, a 24-meter dome used primarily for displaying a 360-degree view of a simulated night sky, but also screens movies periodically. Tickets for the planetarium shows are available for purchase both upon arrival and online.

The Anne O’C. Albrecht Nature Playscape is an exciting new Forest Park destination. The playscape, funded by donors to Forest Park Forever and completed in partnership with the City of St. Louis, is 17-acre experiential play space with natural landscapes that

58

2022 RELOCATING IN SAINT LOUIS

include native and diverse species. Featuring nine distinct activity areas, the free destination includes sand play areas, willow tunnels, stump steppers, boulders and rocks, hand water pumps and much more. The goal: Encourage visitors — especially kids — to connect with nature as they engage their senses as they explore, discover and learn.

Forest Park remains a point of St. Louis pride with the diligent upkeep of over 45,000 trees, architectural hotspots such as the Jewel Box greenhouse, and America’s oldest and largest outdoor musical theater, the Muny. Want to learn more about your new home? Forest Park is a great place to start.

Food, Fun and Family 9 Mile Garden is the ultimate family destination.

By Melissa Mauzy Photography courtesy of 9 Mile Garden.

Missouri’s first food truck garden is located in south St. Louis county. 9 Mile Garden is a family-focused entertainment district that includes a food truck garden, bar and entertainment area. The whole family, including on-leash dogs, can enjoy fare from a rotating line-up of food trucks along with outdoor movies, live music, community events and more.

The name 9 Mile is a nod to the past before streets had names or road markers. Landmarks were named for their

60

2022 RELOCATING IN SAINT LOUIS

distance from the courthouse or city center.

9 Mile Garden’s food truck garden is approximately nine miles from St. Louis’s Old Courthouse.

St. Louis has a thriving food truck scene, and 9 Mile Garden is proud to support the community. “Supporting local business and giving the community a place to gather is what we are all about,” says managing partner Brian Hardesty. The food truck garden is the focal point of the district serving both lunch and dinner from a rotating list of trucks serving up a variety of cuisines. Everyone in the family can order their favorites like tacos, fries and ice cream from the multitude of options then eat together in the beautiful picnic park.

The daily schedule is posted each morning on 9 Mile Garden’s social media outlets.

Also located within the district is The Canteen, a modern drafthouse serving draft beer from local and national breweries as well as wine and cocktails. The Canteen is a great place to catch a Cardinals or Blues game with a large amount of TVs for viewing. Just outside the doors is a large patio and spot for outdoor games like bags and washers.

Meet friends and neighbors for a fun afternoon or evening of delicious food accompanied by entertainment. Enjoy local and touring acts including live bands, cultural performances and family-friendly entertainers on the permanent stage.

Saturday nights feature an outdoor movie shown on the 20-foot movie screen in the picnic park.

9 Mile Garden is open seven days a week.

The food truck season ends Nov. 30, but trucks visit on Fridays and Saturdays from Dec. 1 through the end of February. The Canteen remains open year round. For upcoming events, food truck information or to host a private event, visit 9milegarden.com.
