Patch has plenty to uncover
Patch is a southwest St.Louis neighborhood that hugs the banks of the Mississippi River. The area's gridded streets contain a blend of commercial property, an eclectic mix of homes dating back 100 years and a heavily industrial eastern side. Recently, there has been a lot of activity in the neighborhood as homebuyers are renovating homes and several new businesses have moved to the area in the last 10 years. Amid the changes happening within Patch, a constant has been the support residents and stakeholders provide for one another: local schools offer support programs for families, community members engage local government, and local events bring people together. “It’s a really quaint, tight-knit community,” says Trish Herron, a Realtor with Mid America Property Partners and a St. Louis native.

Character is a given in Patch
Unlike other well-established parts of St. Louis, where strips of brick rowhomes are prevalent, no two houses on any given street are quite the same. Homes were mostly built between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries, but the neighborhood also includes towering Italianate options and modest bungalows with either brick or vinyl finishing. Single-family homes are most prevalent, but there are some multifamily structures here and there. Lots tend to total just under one-tenth of an acre, providing modest yards, and homes have a little bit of space between them. Prices range from $30,000 to $60,000 for properties in need of significant repairs or renovation, while those that are more move-in ready go for anywhere between $80,000 and $200,000.

Finding a close-by bite to eat is becoming easier
Over the last 10 years, the dining landscape has broadened in the neighborhood. “There’s a bunch of things that have opened in the Patch neighborhood,” says Jeff Uren, a Realtor with Worth Clark Realty specializing in the southern St. Louis area. Perennial Artisan Ales, a brewery and tasting room with 30 beer varieties, opened here in 2011. The food menu includes tacos and South American-style hot dogs. Stacked Burger Bar arrived in 2013, and Uren believes it has the best burgers in the city. Sugarwitch whips up small-batch specialty ice cream sandwiches and opened in late 2022, and Kabul Express STL, an Afghan restaurant, opened in early 2023. There’s a Schnucks just outside the neighborhood, too, in the Loughborough Commons shopping plaza that also has a Lowe’s.

Locals can feel the beat at Fanetti
Patch residents are making concerted efforts to improve the community. The neighborhood's Fanetti Music Fest started in 2022. Held each October at Patch’s Fanetti Plaza, the festival features several live bands and hours of free music. Community members meet on the third Monday of every other month with local law enforcement and representatives at Saint Trinity Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall to discuss issues and share information.

Fanetti is far from the only green space in the area
Fanetti Plaza, home of the Fanetti Music Fest, is a roughly 2-acre spot dotted with trees, park benches and a fountain. Patch is also home to the almost 2-acre St. Louis Square Park, which has a playground, and the nearly 5-acre Alaska Park, which some use for dog walking. The 180-acre Carondelet Park is 2 miles north. Carondelet is the third-largest park in the city and its lakes are popular for fishing. There’s an integrated rec complex, too, with a pool.

Commuters can take I-55 up to Downtown St. Louis, an 8-mile trip. I-55 also runs into I-70, helping travelers reach the St. Louis Lambert International Airport, 22 miles away.

This is a quaint, vintage area of the City that enjoys a wonderful mix of some of the oldest homes in this area. The area is safe, comfortable, filled with wonderful neighbors, and very affordable because it is a small pocket that is not well known. We love our 1913 Craftsman home nestled atop a hill alongside Victorians and mid-century homes. One block away is a home built in the 18th century, and in the other direction a gorgeous historic home on Davis. Love our home here a mere 4 to 5 blocks from the Mississippi.
