Small-town community spirit 8 miles outside St. Louis
Despite its proximity to one of Missouri’s largest urban centers, Lindenwood Park is reminiscent of small-town America. Neighbors donate items for an annual flea market in the spring, households compete in lawn and garden contests at the beginning of the summer and folks gather in the neighborhood’s namesake, Lindenwood Park, every other fall for LinFest. “Even though it’s in the city, it definitely makes it feel a little bit more like a small town,” says Bridget Rodriguez, a Lindenwood Park resident with 15 years of real estate experience. According to Rodriguez, the community has become an attractive St. Louis outpost due to its walkability — sidewalks line both sides of the street — and relative affordability. Single-family homes dating back to the 1920s and before are marked with “Century Home” plaques celebrating their histories, and family-run restaurants like Pietro’s have been around since the days of black and white TV.
Lindenwood Park's quaint residential streets are lined with shady old growth trees.
Lindenwood Park is a primarily residential neighborhood in south-central St. Louis.

First-time home buyers put down roots in 1920s bungalows
According to Rodriguez, Lindenwood Park is popular with first-time homebuyers, many of them young families looking for quiet streets in close proximity to a major metropolitan area. 1,000-square-foot brick bungalows dating back to the 1920s start in the mid-$100,000s and sell for up to $300,000 depending on condition. Tudor-inspired homes with pitched roofs, many of which border the neighborhood’s central park, start around $250,000 and can sell for upwards of $400,000. There’s also the occasional mid-century ranch and wood-sided cottage, most of which are priced under $200,000. Due to the age of most of these properties, attached garages are few and far between. Depending on their location within the neighborhood, cars park in back alley driveways or on streets shaded by century-old trees. Buyers will also find duplexes and four-family flats along busier thoroughfares like Watson Road and Jamieson Avenue. In Lindenwood Park, homes sell over three weeks faster than the national average.
Single story cottages can be found throughout Lindenwood Park.
Tudor inspired homes are prevalent in the Lindenwood Park neighborhood.

Athletic facilities in Lindenwood Park and a greenway by the river
At the center of the neighborhood sits Lindenwood Park, a 14-acre recreation area founded in 1947. Residents make use of the tennis courts, baseball diamonds and roller hockey rink, and kids meet up on the playground on the weekends. The park also hosts annual events like Lindenwood Live, a Sunday evening concert series with performances in May, June, August and September. Residents can order from food trucks while enjoying the music, and the neighborhood association encourages local bands to perform. A few minutes south, locals can head to Francis Park for the racquetball and pickleball courts, and, across the River des Peres, walk the Greenway at River des Peres Park.
Every year, Lindenwood Park hosts a free summer concert series.

Neighborhood festivals, flea markets and rare flowers by the thousand
Every other year in October, local vendors and restaurants set up tents in Lindenwood Park for LindFest, and kids stop by activity booths to make crafts. In early Spring, residents clean out their closets for the neighborhood Flea Market, and proceeds go to other Lindenwood Park events like Lindenwood Live and Trivia Night. On sunny weekends, make the 4-mile drive to the Missouri Botanical Gardens to stroll through the Japenese Gardens or visit the Climatron, a temperature-controlled greenhouse dome filled with rare species of tropical flowers. Members enjoy free admission and an annual lecture series. Farther north, find Forest Park, home to the St. Louis Zoo as well as the city’s art museum.
Old-fashioned donuts, deli sandwiches and sit-down Italian
Donut Drive-In, a 1950s-esque tiny white building off Chippewa Street, has perfected two menu items: donuts and coffee. There’s also Mom’s Deli, another neighborhood staple that first opened in the 1970s to accommodate new traffic from Highway 44. Order the Mom’s Special with homemade 1000 island dressing. Others prefer a sit-down meal at Pietro’s, which has been serving fresh pasta dishes to families in Lindenwood Park for over 60 years. Residents run errands at Target, also located off Chippewa Street, and pick up groceries at Schnucks in the Hampton Village Shopping Center. There are always more dining options in “foodie” neighborhoods like The Hill, just a few minutes away along Interstate 44.

Roughrider athletics and proximity to private schools
