Historic Colonials and Craftsman
Heavily trafficked streets like Manchester Avenue, Kingshighway Boulevard and Oakland Avenue separate Kings Oak’s homes from the larger surrounding neighborhoods. “It’s a quiet, little-known neighborhood with a lot of the original housing stock,” says Ron Coleman, Neighborhood Improvement Specialist for Kings Oak. Originally built in the wake of the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, every home in Kings Oak was constructed in the early 1900s, giving the residential areas a historical quality. The most common house styles are Dutch Colonial Revivals and Craftsman, and prices start around the mid-$200,000s, while a freshly remodeled home may carry a price tag in the high $300,000s.
