Hazelwood is a suburb with plenty of parks and shopping

Hazelwood is a well-equipped suburb situated on the western edge of St. Louis County, along the Missouri River. The city is developed enough to have a robust parks department and enough shopping amenities that residents rarely need to go far from town. However Hazelwood is removed enough from St. Louis that swaths of the community are covered in farmland and a nature preserve.

The community has homes from a few generations

Most of Hazelwood’s homes are dispersed among dense subdivisions, primarily ‘60s and ‘70s subdivisions full of ranch homes, though there are a few more modern developments built in the 2000s. The city’s smallest homes, two- and three-bedroom properties with less than 1,000 square feet of living space, can be found for less than $100,000, but RED Realty broker and owner Cindy Wilson says the typical three-bedroom house in Hazelwood sells in the low $200,000s. The average house sells after 27 days on the market, lower than the national average, and there is only one month of home supply in Hazelwood, which indicates it’s a busy seller’s market.

Residents have access to more than a dozen parks and sports facilities

Hazelwood is a small town of 25,000 people, but 17 parks and sports complexes dot the town, and Wilson says the parks and recreation options that appeal to various age groups are one of the community’s selling points. A prime example is White Birch Park; the complex contains White Birch Bay Aquatic Center – an oasis of slides, pools and water-soaked play areas – as well as a skate park and esports lounge. Along the park’s tree line you’ll find a compact disc golf course that can be played in less than two hours but nevertheless offers a challenging variety of hole layouts over its rolling terrain. Residents should be sure to mark Hazelwood Day on their calendars, as the annual festival fills the city’s Howdershell Park with the clanging of a horseshoe tournament, the bleating of goats from the petting zoo and the notes of live jazz groups and rock bands. Those not afraid of a steep hike should travel to the north end of Hazelwood and traverse the 800-acre St. Stanislaus Conservation Area; hikers who make it to the top of the conservation area’s bluffs will be rewarded with a view of the Missouri River.

The Hazelwood Sports Complex includes spacious fields and well-maintained baseball diamonds for community use.

Students may attend Hazelwood schools

The city is serviced by its own school system, the Hazelwood School District, with more than two dozen campuses around town for children to attend. For example some students start at Russell Elementary School, recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School awardee, before moving on to West Middle School. Those students then would advance to West High School, given a B-plus by Niche for the work the school does preparing students for college.

Food options range from doughnuts to Italian club sandwiches

Hazelwood’s roadways are peppered with local and chain businesses that’ll come in handy. For a bite after you rise, check out Tony’s Donuts and browse the rows of donuts topped with sheens of icing on display in the shop’s illuminated glass case. But Tony’s is far more than an early-morning stop, as the café serves Italian clubs, chicken gyros and other sandwiches well into the evening. Lindbergh Boulevard on Hazelwood’s northeast side is lined with strip malls and small offices that allow you to fill a prescription at Walgreens, visit a doctor or grab Middle Eastern produce at WorldWide International Food Market. Further down Lindbergh Boulevard, about half a mile outside Hazelwood, is Schnucks supermarket.

Commuters have quick access to I-270

Hazelwood bumps up against Interstate 270, allowing commuters to quickly hop on the highway and make the 17-mile drive to St. Louis.
