Showcasing talent with architecture
Named for nearby Washington University (WashU), University City, known locally as U City, has a rich history in architecture. “The city was built mainly during and after the St. Louis World Fair. It put U City on the map,” says Beth Schultz, long-time resident of St. Louis, current resident of U City and real estate agent in the St. Louis area since 2012. “University City, along with Clayton and Central West End, are by far the epicenter of the historical significance.” Workers wanted to showcase their work at the Fair, and U City was the gallery. The architectural beauty doesn’t lie only in residential areas, City Hall itself was added to the National Register of Places in 1975 and the octagonal five-story building stands out on Delmar Boulevard.
University City has a very grand entrance with lion statues sitting on top in University City.

Brick outsides and wood from Sicily
Brick is the look of U City, with very few homes not covered or made with the material. Most homes were built in the early 1900s, although newer homes have been built in the years since. These homes still retain that classical feel, built to resemble their neighbors. Homes were often built with materials shipped over specifically for that home, including stain-glass windows from Waterford, Ireland and 200-year-old doors from Sicily, Italy. “You don’t become an owner,” says Schultz. “You become the steward to a piece of art.” With a median price of $315,000, homes south of Delmar Boulevard tend more towards larger multi-storied Tudor revival and Colonial Revival and can reach over 1.2 million, while north of the road, homes are smaller ranch or bungalows and tend to reach around $200,000. There may also be student housing closer to WashU. Even with larger homes, lot sizes do tend to be smaller, with mature trees covering the front yards and overhanging the streets. Street parking is common, but some areas will have small alleyways behind homes containing single-car garages.
University City has nice homes scattered all around town in Missouri.
Tudor style apartments are frequently seen around University City.

Golfing, sports and picnicking
U City has 21 parks, including the Ruth Park Golf Course and Heman Park. The golf course covers 70 acres and first opened in 1931. The nine-hole course is open seven days a week. Heman Park is U City’s largest park, covering over 85 acres. Home to the city’s community center and recreation facility, Heman also contains multiple ball diamonds for the sporty and picnic pavilions for the loungers. U City is near the 1,300-acre Forest Park, which home to the Saint Louis Zoo and Art Museum — both of which are free.
The Flynn Park signage is tucked amongst lush plants in University City.

Olive shopping and Delmar Loop Dining
Along Olive Boulevard, in the northern section of U City, residents can shop at ALDI, Costco Wholesale or local grocery store Schnucks. The Delmar Loop on Delmar Boulevard contains several local restaurants. Blueberry Hill has wings and burgers in addition to a large drink menu. It also has live music and had plenty of visits from the father of Rock and Roll, Chuck Berry. Across the street is Fitz’s Delmar, which offers burgers and sandwiches, but is known for their home-brewed sodas.
University City, MO has great walking access to a large selection of shops and amenities.
Salt & Smoke is a favorite amongst University City locals.

Honors classes and older school buildings
Children living in U City can begin school at Flynn Park Elementary, which scores an A-minus on Niche, for kindergarten through fifth grade. Students can then move on to Brittany Woods Middle School for sixth through eighth grade. First opened in 1955, the school receives a C from Niche. University City High School, with a C-plus on Niche, first opened in 1930 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It offers a variety of clubs for students, including knitting, Latin and theatre club, as well as honors and advanced placement classes.

Underground metro line and four bus routes
St. Louis’ MetroLink Blue Line has an underground stop along Forest Park Parkway. Additionally, the MetroBus has four routes through U City. Interstate 170 borders the city to the west. With WashU so close, college events may cause a lack of parking on the roads.
Important to Know
The River Des Peres flows through sections of U City before entering underground tunnels between Vernon Avenue and Dartmouth Avenue. During heavy rains, the sections lining the concrete channels of the River Des Peres can be subject to flooding.
