Welcome to our Neighborhood!
Our neighbors are artists, accountants, small mom and pop shops as
well as large businesses, growing families, singles and retirees.
We'd like to show you around the neighborhood-a virtual tour of
sorts-to show you what makes us unique in St. Louis city.
Perhaps it's the combination of new and old that sets Benton Park
apart. It is not uncommon to see 100 year old or older homes as well
as 50's bungalows and brand-new construction on the same street. Our
neighborhood boasts picturesque parks and restaurants winning rave
reviews.
Benton Park is city living at its best, just five minutes from the
Gateway Arch and the rest of downtown St. Louis. Just a quick trip
from the city's cultural venues such as Powell Hall, The Fox
Theatre, St. Louis University, Washington University and others.
