A village less than half a square mile in size, Hanley Hills is one of many municipalities in St. Louis County. With the exception of a few buildings along its edges, most of the community is strictly residential and has a well-established feel. While the neighborhood had a population of about 2,400 in the 1990s, this number has declined over time. Hanley Hills is now home to about 1,900 people — many of whom are hoping to see the community become a place people want to stay long-term. “I’ve lived here for 31 years,” says Jeffrey Walton, the Hanley Hills Board of Trustees chairman. “We’ve got a lot of friendly people in Hanley Hills. We want it to be a great place to live or raise a family.” Though there were talks in recent years to change the incorporation status of the village, it remains a self-governed community 14 miles from downtown St. Louis.
Hanley Hills is a small community located in St Louis, MO.

Ranch-style homes north of Page Avenue
Hanley Hills was incorporated in 1948, so most of the ranch-style homes in the community date back to the late 1940s. A few homes from the 1920s are sprinkled in, but they are few and far between. Properties are tightly spaced, and most houses don’t exceed 1,200 square feet. Jacob Peistrup, the Media & SEO Strategist for Gateway Realty Group, says this area appeals to first-time homebuyers because “the houses are smaller, close together and lower in price. Houses are usually between $100,000 and $200,000.” Two-bedroom homes range from $70,000 to $130,000, and three-bedroom houses typically cost between $90,000 and $150,000. Hanley Hills has no sidewalks, and streets are narrow, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a walkable community. Because many of the roads in Hanley Hills are looped or come to a cul-de-sac, traffic is mainly limited to homeowners and renters.

Walking distance to the local park and nearby Normandie Golf Club
Given the small size of Hanley Hills, there is only one park in its limits: Mildred M. Davis Memorial Park. Tucked behind the city hall building, the park includes a play area, pavilion and basketball court. For access to a larger green space and trails, Millar Park is about a mile south. Bordered to the north by Normandie Golf Club, Hanley Hills also invites residents to hit the fairways — but they will need to wait for the significant upgrade to be complete. With the help of Beyond Housing and other nonprofits, Normandie will now be a Jack Nicklaus Signature course. For things to do indoors, the Parkview Library branch and the movie theater in Pagedale are about a mile away.
