Lovers Lane is one of the city's historic neighborhoods
North of Frederick, Lovers Lane is one of the last historic neighborhoods in St. Joseph before modern homes start cropping up in the east. “Lovers Lane and Ashland are part of the historic side of town,” says Christina McAllister, a Realtor with Re/Max Professionals. “So anything past there tends to be a little newer.” Residents are drawn to the area for lower-than-average real estate prices and proximity to shopping and restaurants. Historic surroundings also attract potential homeowners interested in relics of the American West. “There are a lot of historical facts that you don’t necessarily think of when you move here,” says McAllister.
Lovers Lane is best known for its historic homes along its namesake street that winds through the area.
Lovers Lane is filled with beautiful historic homes, closed to highly rated schools and easy access around town.
