What brings buyers to North Pointe

North Pointe appeals to buyers looking for lower home prices and a convenient location, about 8 miles from Downtown Saint Louis. It’s just as close to St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and with quick access to Interstate 70, it’s pretty easy to get to either one of those places. Closer to home, a lot of kids can walk to school thanks to the public elementary schools on either side of the railroad tracks that run right through the middle of the neighborhood. And if you want to buy groceries, go out to eat or spend some time outside, all of that is just a short drive away.

Common house styles and prices compared to other parts of the city

Craftsman bungalows and gingerbread cottages built between the 1930s and ‘40s line North Pointe’s gridded streets. Most are made of red brick, which is a big draw for buyers. “The houses may need some work, but they're sturdy and typically don't require as much maintenance as a house with vinyl siding,” says Kevin Vaughn, a broker with Coldwell Banker who has sold several homes in the neighborhood. Fixer-uppers typically start at around $40,000, while houses with more updates sometimes reach the upper $100,000s. The median sale price is around $80,000, which is significantly lower than the citywide median of about $255,000. However, it’s a little higher than what you’ll find in other north Saint Louis communities like Jennings and Walnut Park West.

Which public schools serve the neighborhood

The Saint Louis Public School District serves North Pointe. Kids on the north side of the train tracks go to Earl Nance, Sr. Elementary School, while kids south of the tracks go to Herzog Elementary School. After that, everyone moves on to Yeatman-Liddell Middle School in O'Fallon and Vashon High School in Jeff-Vander-Lou. Families can also apply to the district’s magnet options, including Ames Visual and Performing Arts Elementary School in Old North Saint Louis.

Where to run errands and go out to eat

North Pointe's southwest corner is home to a small cluster of locally owned restaurants, including St. Louis Q, a counter-service barbecue joint that has been around since 1994. For most errands, you'll probably head about 2 miles north to Plaza on the Boulevard, which is home to:

  • Grocery stores like Schnucks and Aldi
  • Fast-food restaurants like Wendy's, Burger King and Sonic
  • Clothing stores like Hibbett and Foot Locker
The neighborhood is also less than 15 miles from Clayton, a suburb that has a downtown district filled with coffee shops, steakhouses and Italian cafés.

How residents commute to downtown Saint Louis and the airport

Being close to I-70 makes it pretty simple to get around the rest of the city. The highway is a direct route to downtown Saint Louis and St. Louis Lambert International Airport, which are both about 15 to 40 minutes away, depending on traffic. If you'd rather not drive, MetroBus routes run along several streets in the neighborhood.
