A town of less than 1,500 people, Norwood Court consists of multiple apartment complexes and several single-family homes. “Norwood Court is a subdivision but is also considered its own municipality,” explains Bret Hilbert of Hilbert Nation Realty, a broker actively selling homes in the community. Though 10 miles northwest of downtown St. Louis, the neighborhood has remained a quiet enclave a step away from the hustle and bustle of the city since the 1940s.
While apartment complexes sit south of Interstate 70, single-family homes remain concentrated in the north along Norwalk Lane and Norway Drive. Houses typically date back to 1950 and feature brick exteriors, each property along narrow, tree-lined streets. Compact, well-manicured yards accompany each home, and concrete driveways serve as dividers between properties. “It’s a popular neighborhood, probably because it backs to the golf course and is pretty much self-governed,” Hilbert says. Because residents tend to stay in the neighborhood for many years, homes do not come to market too often. When houses do sell, two- to three-bedroom homes usually cost less than $150,000.
Because Norwood Court is a residential pocket of St. Louis County, trips to the grocery store and restaurants require a ride outside the neighborhood. ALDI is less than 3 miles away and shares a parking lot with Wendy’s, while locally loved spots like Red’s The One And Only BBQ and Cathy’s Kitchen are about 2 miles away, just off South Florissant Road. For nightlife, residents can catch the Red Line to downtown and swing by spots like Ballpark Village and The Gramophone.
Because Norwood Court is its own town, the community hosts events like the Town Christmas Party and National Night Out. Norwood Hills also hosts the Ascension Charity Classic in September, inviting residents to watch professional golfers raise money for North St. Louis County communities. Of course, the annual events signature to St. Louis, like Arch Madness and Festival of Nations, are also easily reached by bus or car, allowing residents of Norwood Court to enjoy the excitement of city events without living in a fast-paced environment.
Part of Normandy Schools Collaborative, the neighborhood is zoned for a D-graded district, according to Niche. Through eighth grade, students attend Jefferson, a C-minus-graded school less than 3 miles from Norwood Court. For high school, students head to Normandy High, a D-graded school offering students the chance to participate in credit recovery in a non-traditional setting through the Center for Academic and Social Advancement. For those seeking private school nearby, Lutheran North Middle and High School is an A-graded option less than a mile away.
Steps from Hoelzel Park and Norwood Hills Country Club, Norwood Court offers plenty of activities within walking distance. At Hoelzel, children can climb the rock wall, and folks of all ages can enjoy the fresh air and cool shade under the pavilion. For those looking to hit the green or practice their volley, Norwood Hills Country Club offers multiple fairways and racquet courts, with entrances to its facility less than 2 miles north of Norwood Court.
Though considered outside city limits, the neighborhood benefits from public transit and interstate access. The nearest MetroLink can be reached on foot, but the 64 bus also connects to the station, ensuring the Red Line is only a few minutes away. While sidewalks only line the major roadways outside the residential streets, the quiet nature of the roads allows homeowners to walk or bike to their destinations. For travel by car, ramps to Interstate 70 are right in the neighborhood, with exits for the Saint Louis Lambert International Airport less than 6 miles away.
