Classic architecture that’s still attracting interest
Mount Pleasant is an area that bloomed through St. Louis’ 19th- and early 20th-century development, thanks in large part to its location right along the Mississippi River. Once part of a pasture known as St. Louis Commons, land that makes up present-day Mount Pleasant was annexed to the city. Home construction boomed through the early 1900s and many of the houses that stand here today date back to that period. These houses are at a point in their lifespan where they can be had at relatively accessible prices, making Mount Pleasant an area that’s caught the eye of some, including those who don’t mind putting in some work. “It needs a little love,” Realtor and St. Louis native Joe Hostman, of Re/Max Results, says of Mount Pleasant. “That love is coming slowly. It has received a lot of investor interest because it’s cheaper, and you can do those projects.”
Mount Pleasant offers tranquil living with plenty of greenery around.
Many unique architectural elements can be found in homes around the Mount Pleasant area.

Brick homes dominate this area
St. Louis is known for its brick architecture and Mount Pleasant is no different. Italianate, American Foursquare and bungalow style houses are lined closely together on broad city streets. Multifamily options are common and 70% of residents are renters. “There are a whole lot of investment properties," says Jordette Barnes, who owns property in the area and operates the business Creative Expressions Custom Designs in the adjacent neighborhood of Dutchtown. “I purchased my first property over in Mount Pleasant, and the property value went up in six months. “So, it pretty much was a steal.” The multifamily houses in Mount Pleasant sell for $75,000 to $300,000 based on the condition. Those seeking a single-family home can find a fixer-upper under $100,000, but turn-key options go between $100,000 and $300,000. “They are neighbors that really care about each other,” says Molly Rebmann, who co-owns the Sign of the Times parlor in Dutchtown with her husband, Wally. “They keep an eye out for each other.”
Many of the homes in Mount Pleasant are elevated from the streets with front porches.

Proximity to Dutchtown is a convenience
Mount Pleasant’s majority residential makeup leaves little room for commercial attractions outside of South Broadway that runs through the neighborhood. The stretch includes a Walgreens and the Chariton Square Shopping Center. The space has a Family Dollar and eateries like Grill 55.
Mount Pleasant runs up against the downtown district in next-door Dutchtown along Meramec Street. Meramec is lined with businesses including Urban Eats, a marketplace with vendors like Tacos La Jefa, known for its birria tacos. “I feel like they more than coexist,” Ellen Cheli, co-owner of the Read a Book STL bookstore on Meramec, says of the relationship between Mount Pleasant and Dutchtown. “Just because I feel like Mount Pleasant is more residential and Dutchtown does have this strip. So I think people from Mount Pleasant come to Dutchtown.” Meramec Street connects to Grand Boulevard, another commercial corridor with local businesses and a location of the St. Louis-based supermarket chain Schnucks.
Residents of Mount Pleasant love the Merry Menagerie hosted on Meramec Street.

Community gatherings are common
Neighboring Dutchtown has several community events annually, a quick trip for people in Mount Pleasant. The Virginia Avenue Spring Fling in April at the Dutchtown Community Garden. The event has food, music and activities for kids. The holiday season in early December brings Merry Menagerie, a multi-block petting zoo along Meramec. “All the different businesses will have various barnyard animals out front,” says Nick Findley, promotion committee co-chair of the Dutchtown Main Streets community development organization. “Then shopping and stuff like that going on.”
Mount Pleasant does have a space for private events, dubbed the Bluffs on Broadway, a mansion along the Mississippi River that’s available for rent. “A lot of people have their wedding reception or even get married there,” Hostman says. “My wife and I looked at it for our rehearsal dinner. It’s very crazy. It’s this big mansion that sits up on the bluffs. Very cool views of the river — it’s probably 100 feet up.”

The 17-acre Marquette Park in Dutchtown has recently renovated playground and basketball courts, and a concrete court for futsal-style soccer.
