A compact neighborhood packed with variety
Peabody Darst Webbe is a small neighborhood but its history is full of evolution. The area is named for housing projects built in the mid-20th century. Modern, mixed-income housing replaced some of those structures in the early 2000s and more redevelopment is coming. Most of the neighborhood’s homes share exteriors forged from St. Louis’ signature brick, and all share a location conveniently close to not just downtown but also multiple major highways and an assortment of restaurants. “It’s a very diverse neighborhood with great walkability,” says Charles Jung, a Realtor with Re/Max Results, who has more than 20 years of industry experience. “It’s truly like living in small-town America but within a bustling city. There’s such a sense of community here.”
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.
Single family homes with larger lots can also be found in Peabody Darst Webbe.
The Bellwether known for its brunch menu, which includes Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast and blueberry waffles, is within walking distance. Park Chop Suey serves American-style Chinese food. Adjacent neighborhoods like Lafayette Square and Soulard are filled with several options, like Square One Brewery & Distillery. Located in Lafayette Square, Square One has a dozen beers on tap, plus several cocktails, wines and spirits. “Square One is a classic,” Jung says. “They’ve got a great selection of sandwiches and a nice vintage bar and patio.” Soulard is home to the Vincent's 12th Street Market, a family-owned grocery store that’s been open since 1912. For quicker errands, there is a Walgreens within Peabody Darst Webbe.
