Kirkwood, MO Overview

Known for its small-town ambiance, Kirkwood was named after James P. Kirkwood, chief engineer of the Pacific Railroad.  Today, the "Green Tree City" showcases a continuously refurbished and still operating train station built in 1893.  The city's surrounding specialty shops, antique stores, bakeries, and restaurants are favorite meeting places of friendly residents.  Children of all ages enjoy the community's indoor pool, sports fields, and newly opened aquatic center.  Although characterized as a distinctly well-established suburban community, Kirkwood retains close proximity to all major highways and interstates and is situated a reasonable 14 miles west of St. Louis.  Housing options are abundant and attractive, offering everything from cozy two-story starter homes to exquisite Victorian mansions that have been meticulously restored.  Architectural styles are available to appeal to every taste and budget, including Tudors, ranches, split-levels, condominiums, and other multi-family developments.  Residents of this tree-canopied community not only enjoy excellent educational opportunities and convenient local shopping, but also popular attractions such as the Powder Valley Nature Center, the Magic House children's museum, Stages live theatre, Kirkwood Farmers' Market, and the annual Greentree Festival.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
