Tower Grove South

Though census records suggest St. Louis is in decline, Tower Grove South gives a different view of the city. Bounded by Tower Grove Park, Kingshighway, Chippewa, and Grand, the neighborhood is extremely diverse. Old homes run all along the side streets, and the bustling South Grand and Morganford business districts have low rise, mixed use apartments lining their sidewalks. Homes range from 80k-200k, and rents are just as diverse, making the area very mixed income. Many ethnic restaurants were also in the area. The housing style and alleys made the residential streets look a lot like Chicago. Having St. Louis' most frequent bus line, the #70 Grand, is also very helpful in making Tower Grove South into an amazing urban neighborhood.
