University City Missouri Real Estate

Located adjacent to the acclaimed Washington University, the aptly named community of University City offers a cozy suburb with charming historic homes.  Traditional family-oriented neighborhoods such as Parkview, University Hills, Ames Place, and Maryland Terrace are popular residential choices in this welcoming community.  The 85-acre Heman Park offers jogging trails, tennis courts, sports fields, playgrounds, and a summer concert series.  The community also features a golf course, ice rink, library, community center, symphony and swimming pool.  University City draws visitors from across the metropolitan St. Louis region to the annual, "Fair in the Square" each June.  Throughout the year, residents and visitors flock to the fresh produce market.  Founded in 1904 by Edward G. Lewis, University City was established as a cultural arts and education community.  These attributes are still flourishing today, centered in "The Loop."  This four-block commercial district along Delmar Boulevard is home to a diverse population of writers, painters, musicians, and other artists who share in the artistic, cultural atmosphere of this lively downtown setting.  The district's 90 bustling shops, galleries and restaurants compliment the nearby St. Louis Symphony Community Music School, Center for Contemporary Arts, Craft Alliance, and Washington University School of Art.
