Why people move to Benton Park
Benton Park has a quiet, laid-back vibe, even though it's right next to the lively Soulard neighborhood and only about 4 miles south of Downtown Saint Louis. It's a historic district filled with well-preserved 19th-century homes, all centered around a namesake park that has been here just as long. After going there for a game of pickleball or a community event, you can walk to the neighborhood’s coffee shops, delis and eclectic dive bars. Between those locally owned businesses and the central location, it's easy to see why Benton Park attracts such a mix of young professionals, families and artists.
Benton Park is about 4 miles from downtown St. Louis.

Historic homes come with preservation rules and tax credits
In Benton Park, you’ll see a lot of rowhouses and detached homes with Italianate or Mansard architecture. Since this is a historic district, major exterior renovations and new construction projects have to be reviewed by the city’s Cultural Resources Office. It also means that homeowners may be eligible for special tax credits to help pay for building restoration. “People really care about preservation here, so everything still looks pretty authentic to what it was back in the day,” says Dawn Griffin, a Realtor with eXp Realty who has been selling homes in the area since 2004. Prices here typically range from the lower $100,000s to the mid-$500,000s, depending on the property’s size and condition. The median sale price is around $300,000, slightly higher than Saint Louis ’ median of about $255,000.
Houses here usually date back to the 19th century.
Houses here are usually made of brick.

Community events at Benton Park
Houses in Benton Park are known for their small lots. “You’re lucky if you have alleyway parking here, let alone a yard,” says Michael Hill, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who has sold several homes in the neighborhood. That’s one reason Benton Park, the namesake green space, is basically like everyone’s backyard. You can head there to enjoy a quiet walk around the lake, play a game of pickleball or let the kids run around the playground. It’s also where the voluntary Benton Park Neighborhood Association hosts events like:
Music from a Tent, a concert series held once a month between April and October
Family Fun Day, featuring a bike parade, face painting and a kids’ makers market
Movie in the Park, when everyone brings their own chairs, snacks and drinks to watch a movie outside
There's a small lake at Benton Park.
You may see wildlife at Benton Park.

Public schools and private options

If you'd rather go the private school route, the neighborhood is home to St. Frances Cabrini Academy, which serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade. The all-boys St. Mary's South Side Catholic High School is also about 3 miles away in Dutchtown.

Cherokee Street is known for its antique stores and Latin American restaurants.
Walkability to antique stores, upscale restaurants and eclectic bars
When you live in Benton Park, you’re just steps away from tons of stores and restaurants. A lot of that activity happens on Cherokee Avenue, which runs along the neighborhood's southern edge and goes by a couple of nicknames. Some people call it La Calle Cherokee because of its Latin American restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores, while others know it as Antique Row for its vintage clothing and furniture stores. Other popular places around the neighborhood include:
The Mud House, a cozy breakfast spot with patio seating
Blues City Deli, known for its muffuletta and Italian beef sandwiches
Frazer’s, an upscale spot where some cocktails are served in mini flamingo inner tubes
Sidney Street Café, where the rotating menu highlights everything from seafood to beef
Venice Café, a cash-only bar and live music venue that’s decorated in funky folk art
For even more shopping and dining options, you can head over to Soulard, home to Cajun restaurants, jazz bars and a farmers market that’s open Wednesday through Saturday year-round.
Getting to downtown St. Louis
Interstate 55 is just east of Benton Park and provides a direct route to downtown St. Louis, which is about 10 to 20 minutes away, depending on traffic. Several MetroBus routes also run through the neighborhood, so you may be able to get around without a car.
