College Hill Home for Rent

College Hill in Saint Louis is a neighborhood undergoing revitalization after years of decline. Grassroots organizations like the College Hill Foundation and Bridge of Hope STL are actively working with residents to improve both private homes and public spaces. The housing inventory includes late 1800s brick duplexes, early 1900s Victorians, and 1970s split-levels, with new homes adding modern options. Community parks and gardens are being developed on empty lots, including a lavender farm that supports local businesses. O’Fallon Park, just west of College Hill, features softball and football fields, a basketball court, and a lake stocked with catfish and trout. The park’s Rec Complex offers both indoor and outdoor pools, with discounted YMCA memberships available. Peace Park, located near the water tower on Grand Avenue, showcases native bushes, trees, and flowers. Dining options include New Light Chop Suey on West Florissant Avenue, known for its shrimp fried rice and crispy onion rings. Grocery shopping is convenient with an Aldi supermarket nearby. College Hill is 4 miles north of downtown Saint Louis, accessible via Interstate 70 or the St. Louis Metro bus system. The neighborhood is actively working on improving safety and community engagement.
