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.
Princeton Heights draws home owners looking for a community charm and modern amenities.

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. The neighborhood features a striking collection of brick housing styles ranging from Craftsman-style builds to Tudor revivals. “There is a decent mixture of single-family and multifamily dwellings,” says Joe Hostman, Realtor at RE/MAX Results. “Gingerbread style houses are common.” The Gingerbread style Hostman refers to is a common architectural style in St. Louis that draws on neo-gothic influences with Tudor roofs. Smaller residences begin pricing at $100,000, while larger, four-bedroom houses can top $400,000.
Princeton Heights is filled with bicycle friendly amenities.

Residents can head to Hatch’d STL for tasty brunch creations. ALDI provides the neighborhood with fresh groceries, and those looking for more retail options can head north to the Hampton Village Shopping Center.
