With roots dating back to the early 1800s, the Crestwood area claims a rich heritage defined by its early settlers. The historic home of John Sappington, one of the city's earliest landowners, still stands as an example of the Federal-row housing once popular throughout the region. Today, the Crestwood community offers a diversity of housing that spans several decades and encompasses a variety of architectural styles. Choices range from tidy brick bungalows and ranches in orderly subdivisions to rambling cedar contemporaries nestled against the lushly wooded foothills of the Ozark Mountains. Offering an easy commute to downtown St. Louis and major employment centers, Crestwood is ideally located near Interstates 44 and 270. The former home of President Ulysses S. Grant is now an estate of the August A. Busch family, open to public tours as a wildlife preserve and historic site. The department stores and specialty shops of Westfield Shoppingtown Crestwood Mall ensure shopping convenience for local residents but also serve as a strong revenue base for the community and a regional retail resource.
