Fountain Park Multifamily Homes & Duplexes for Sale

Fountain Park, located in the West End of Saint Louis, is a neighborhood rich in history and unique architectural features. At its heart is the historic cast iron fountain, surrounded by an ovular park with walking paths, benches, and playground equipment. The park, along with the fountain, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood features a mix of Victorian and Craftsman homes, with notable American Foursquares, shotgun builds, and Classical Revival townhouses. However, around 17% of the buildings are currently vacant, reflecting the area's challenges with property maintenance over the years. Despite this, residents like Deidre Lewis see potential in restoring these homes. Fountain Park is well-connected to the rest of Saint Louis, with Interstate 64 providing a 13-minute drive to downtown, and Kingshighway and Page boulevards offering easy access to public transportation. The St. Louis Downtown Airport is 10 miles away, and Kindred Hospital is just a mile south. Fountain Park itself is a community hub, hosting the annual Juneteenth Celebration and offering a relaxing atmosphere with its large, shady trees and a statue of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Nearby Forest Park, one mile south, provides additional recreational options, including golf courses, tennis courts, and cultural institutions like the St. Louis Zoo and the Missouri History Museum. Local amenities include Soll's Gateway Market, beauty supply stores, auto shops, and dining options such as Jaden's Diner and Brother's Diner, known for their soul food.
