Wells-Goodfellow
Suburban Neighborhood in Saint Louis, Missouri
St. Louis City 63112, 63120
Rehabbing century-old homes
Wells/Goodfellow features blocks of single-family houses built between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Some are nearly touching, while others are next to rows of empty lots. They include many shotgun houses, Dutch Colonials and smaller bungalows and Cape Cods. Though the neighborhood has more than 6,000 residents, many homes sit vacant and are in need of repair. These sell for around $10,000 to $15,000. Homes that are move-in ready range from $30,000 to $50,000. Reed says, “There are some new houses being built for seniors by community development organizations as well.” Street parking is the norm in Wells/Goodfellow. However, some houses have additional parking spaces that are accessible through back alleyways.

Have a play day at Barrett Brothers Park
Locals enjoy recreational activities at Barrett Brothers Park. Reed says, “There are always football practices and baseball games going on in the park.” Off the fields, kids can play on the playground and have pickup games on the basketball court. The park also has a pavilion residents can use for get-togethers and a fitness trail with exercise equipment.

Wells-Goodfellow schools focus on community involvement
Students attend Laclede Elementary, Yeatman-Liddell Middle and Sumner High, each of which receives a D-plus grade from Niche. Laclede, located in the heart of the Wells/Goodfellow, and Yetman-Lidell, partner with dozens of community resources from mental health specialists to non-profit tutoring organizations. Sumner offers an Arts Pathway program that began in 2021 in an effort to keep the school open by attracting students interested in music, visual arts, fashion and other arts studies.
Commute with MetroBus and Highway 70
MetroBus provides public transportation for residents traveling around Wells/Goodfellow and the surrounding St. Louis area. Bus stops can be found no more than a few blocks from each home. Access to Interstate 70 is about two miles north, making for a 9-mile trip to downtown. Commuters can also avoid the highways by taking the main roads to downtown. Though the 6-mile drive is shorter, there are more traffic lights.Shipping and dining along Natural Bridge Avenue
Shoppers can get groceries and other household essentials at Schnucks in the shopping center on Natural Bridge Avenue on the north side of Wells/Goodfellow. It’s just steps away for some, while others may have to drive about two miles. The shopping center has a few smaller retailers and is home to Imo’s Pizza, known for its St. Louis-style pies. Dr. Martin Luther King Drive on the south side is lined with several more local restaurants like Mom’s Soul Food Kitchen, a community staple where its specialty is all in the name. Just down the street, Club Vision is open until midnight, five days a week for those who like to hang out late with friends.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
