Sunset Hills Missouri Real Estate

Claiming a lofty perch along the cliffs above the rushing waters of the Meramec River, Sunset Hills enjoys a reputation as one of the most desirable communities in the metropolitan St. Louis region.  Gracious neighborhoods, beautiful homes, an atmosphere of serenity, and spectacular views are some of the characteristics that place Sunset Hills in a class of its own.  Situated among a forest of trees, the residential sectors afford unparalleled seclusion.  Two centuries ago, this area was originally developed by the wealthy brewing family of Anheuser-Busch.  In recent years, large custom homes have flourished throughout the hilly terrain.  The city's heavily wooded rolling hills are home to some of the county's most impressive estates on sprawling lots from one to three acres. Many of the homes in this area were constructed in the past 30 years, although the community also offers elegant historic homes and handsome new construction.  A point of city and regional pride, Laumeier Sculpture Park thrills aficionados of the visual arts with more than 100 acres of contemporary works that have been created to interact with the surrounding environment.  Works are showcased along peaceful wooded trails and inside the park's museum.  A largely residential community, Sunset Hills places great important on quality education.
