It has a mix of housing styles, from early 20th-century homes to more recent builds, and prices fall well under the citywide median. Commutes to Uptown and University City are short, and while there’s little walkability, shops, restaurants and popular parks are just a quick drive away.

A mix of older and newer homes surrounded by industry
While warehouses and distribution centers comprise most of Henderson Circle, you’ll find residential streets branching off Old Statesville Road. The neighborhood’s original houses are Craftsman bungalows and ranch-style homes from the 1930s and 1940s. The early 2000s saw the rise of New Traditionals and simple Colonial Revivals, and new construction is usually transitional style. There are also manufactured homes and townhouses. Lots range widely in size, from about a tenth of an acre to more than a third of an acre.
