Walkable world-class culture
Hi-Pointe packs a vast number of first-rate amenities into a tiny space ten miles west of St. Louis. Half the area’s 3,000 residents rent their homes in stately buildings dating to the 1920s and 1930s. More than half of them are college grads with a median age of 39 and an average household income of $84,000. The grand Forest Park marks the neighborhood’s northern border. Designed by Central Park’s architect, Forest Park is the nucleus of St. Louis’s cultural gems, including the St. Louis Zoo, the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Missouri History Museum and the planetarium, all free, all under a mile away. Hi-Pointe is part of the highly walkable area known as Dogtown, named for shelters around the clay mines where Irish immigrants worked in the early 1800s.

Brick single-family homes complement Early 20th Century apartment buildings
Homes reflect the neighborhood’s diversity with a mix of condos and apartments in historic brick buildings and various single-family and duplex homes.

Brick bungalow homes and duplexes, large, two-story Dutch Colonial homes and remodeled town homes are priced in the $200,000s and completely two-story homes or brick complexes can run into the $400,000s.
The median sales price is $237,000. Sales are up 15% over the previous 12 months in what Emory calls a “tight market.” The average time to sell a home in Hi-Pointe is 35 days compared to the U.S. average of 42 days.
