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. Many of the area’s homes and streets are built with bricks made here. Despite the diversity of home styles, the neighborhood feels “very coherent” to Patty Emory, a broker/agent with Keller Williams Realty St. Louis who’s been selling homes in the area for three decades. Stone and brick ranch-style homes and duplexes, bungalows, Tudor Revival-style and Craftsman-style homes start in the mid-to upper-$100,000s. 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.

Walk to indy films, cool restaurants and grocery stores
Cinema buffs can catch art films at the Hi-Pointe Theater and hang out at hip spots in nearby Clayton, like Louie on De Mun or Sasha’s on De Mun, which has a double-deck patio. Both are favorites of Keller Williams Chesterfield realtor Lance Merrick, who’s been selling homes in the area for six years. “Louie has a really fun electric energy you don’t get at any other St. Louis restaurant,” he says. The Hi-Pointe Drive-In north of I-64 has served burgers and shakes since 2017. Locals head to Schnuck’s a mile away in Clayton or Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s 3 miles away in Brentwood for groceries.
