Crestwood is a suburban alternative in the St. Louis metro
A ride through Crestwood’s labyrinth of residential streets, past its towering trees, green lawns and homes built in warm hues of red brick, might make it easy to forget this community is just about 14 miles from Downtown St. Louis. A city of 12,400, this city offers a suburban environment in a convenient location of the region. “There are a lot of different areas of employment in St. Louis, and everything’s within 30 minutes or so,” says Hayley Tomazic, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty St. Louis and a St. Louis native. The convenience comes with a housing market that’s relatively affordable and access to a highly rated school system.

Yorkshire Estates subdivision offers ranch-style homes
Most of Crestwood’s homes were built in the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1940s to the 1960s Neighborhoods including Yorkshire Estates and Ridgewood are packed with houses from that era, and ranch is the dominant style. Price tags range from about $180,000 to $600,000. But the city does have some variety. “I think you can find anything from small, midcentury bungalows up to newer construction, luxury homes,” Tomazic says. “There’s a pretty broad variety of housing types.” Recent builds are limited, but Crestwood Crossing brought 81 new homes to the area in a development that opened in 2023, and those go for between $500,000 and $600,000. Crestwood’s median list price of $330,000 is less than that of neighboring cities like Kirkwood and Sunset Hills. “I would call Crestwood the new Kirkwood in terms of desirability, and with more affordable prices,” Tomazic says.
With homes being built in the mid 1960s, most lots come with at least one mature tree.

These spaces require membership, and the aquatic center is open from late May to Labor Day.

Grant National Historic Site, located in Grantwood Village , is the former home of the general and 18th president who lived there in the 1850s.
Outdoor activities in the area are susceptible to weather that varies quite a bit. “We get a little bit of everything,” Tomazic days. “We get all four seasons.” According to a Springfield News-Leader database, the region can experience tornadoes, too — Missouri has averaged 55 tornadoes annually since 2010. A small tornado touched down in Crestwood in May 2024, causing damage to some housing and cars.
