University City Condos for Sale

University City, commonly known as U City, boasts a rich architectural history, largely influenced by the St. Louis World Fair. The neighborhood features predominantly brick homes, many built in the early 1900s with unique materials like Waterford stained-glass windows and Sicilian doors. South of Delmar Boulevard, homes are typically larger Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival styles, while north of Delmar, smaller ranches and bungalows are more common. U City is home to 21 parks, including the expansive Heman Park and Ruth Park Golf Course. The neighborhood is adjacent to Forest Park, which houses the Saint Louis Zoo and Art Museum. Local attractions include the Delmar Loop, known for its restaurants like Blueberry Hill and Fitz’s Delmar, and entertainment venues such as the W Karaoke Lounge. Flynn Park Elementary, a highly rated school, serves the area’s younger students. Public transportation is accessible with the MetroLink Blue Line and several MetroBus routes. While U City is generally safer than the national average, it does experience occasional flooding along the River Des Peres during heavy rains.
