Approximately one-quarter of the homes in Des Peres were constructed after 1980, resulting in a pleasing blend of architectural styles and price ranges.  Bounded by Kirkwood, Frontenac, and Town and Country, the community provides commuting ease to all corners of the metropolitan area via several major arteries including Interstate 270. Recognized as an ideal family community, Des Peres is home to beautiful parks and excellent retail development.  Smaller shopping plazas are anchored by the department stores and specialty shops of Westfield Shoppingtown West County Mall to draw regional customers.  The area's rich agricultural heritage is still evident in the city's thriving floral industry, serving a large portion of the floral needs of Greater St. Louis and Missouri.
