While the most exciting, central part of University City is definitely the Delmar Loop, there are other very urban, nice areas as well. The area I would call "West University City" is roughly between Hanley Road and North & South Road on Delmar Boulevard. While one would not expect this area to be very urban, The entire area was filled with apartments, urban houses, townhouses, duplexes, and even a few small mixed-use buildings. At the corner of North & South and Delmar, there was even a small, walkable, 1950's era business district, with mixed use buildings! Almost all businesses were local, and small offices sat above said businesses. The area is close(ish) to the frequent MetroLink Blue Line stations at Clayton and Forsyth, and has immediate access to the infrequent MetroBus #47 Hanley, #66 Clayton-Airport, and #97 Delmar, so West University City has OK transit access. A really cool neighborhood!
