From farmland to a desirable suburban community
Once an area of rolling farmland, Princeton Heights was converted into residential space in the 1920s and received its name from the “Princeton Creamery,” which operated in the area. Today, the fields of fruits and vegetables have been replaced with striking brick architecture, neighborhood parks, and an active commercial district. Princeton Heights may sometimes seem like a quiet community far from city life, but it is just 8 miles from downtown St. Louis, ensuring residents are never far from the action.

Iconic St. Louis architecture
One stroll through Princeton Heights’s tree-lined streets, and it's easy to see why houses rarely stay on the market for long.
