Peabody Darst Webbe
Suburban Neighborhood in Saint Louis, Missouri
St. Louis City 63104
Multifamily housing makes up most of the options
The high-rises that once made up a housing project called Darst-Webbe were demolished in the early 2000s, and replaced with brick, mixed-income options reminiscent of townhomes.The Clinton-Peabody development, the oldest public housing project in St. Louis, is the subject of a $150 million upcoming redevelopment project set to begin in 2025 and could take 10 years to be completed. The new community will feature 350 mixed-income townhomes and apartments.
Outside of Darst-Webb and Clinton-Peabody, the neighborhood has a smattering of Italianate-style rowhomes, some dating back to the turn of the 20th century and others built within the last several years. “It’s not just a subdivision with some character,” says Jeffrey Maret, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties and a St. Louis-area native. “You’re going to find the new stuff mixed among the older stuff.” Some are multifamily structures in an area where 69% of the residents are renters, while others are single-family options. Condos and townhomes in Peabody Darst Webbe sell for $170,000 to $250,000, while single-family houses go for $230,000 to $660,000 based on factors like age and square footage.
