Just 16 miles from the center of St. Louis is the suburban neighborhood of Breckenridge Hills, Missouri. With tree-lined streets and verdant lawns leading to small cottage-style homes, this neighborhood is home to under 5,000 people and is popular for those looking for a walkable residential neighborhood with plenty of parks and easy access to the city and nearby airport. “Breckenridge Hills is a very low-speed and family-centric area,” says Brittney Bonds, a realtor with RedKey Realty Leaders who is currently listing a property in the neighborhood. “People like living here because there are many shops and parks, plus it’s only ten minutes from the airport.”
