Forest Park

Known for its beautiful green spaces, great dining, and rich history, Forest Park is a vibrant neighborhood that is highly desirable for professionals, families, and retirees. While the park itself doesn't offer a lot for housing, the nearby apartments, condos, and homes are all options, and the neighborhood is well-maintained, pedestrian-friendly. It is served by both the MetroLink light rail and bus lines, giving easy access to the rest of the city.

This neighborhood is near a robust dining scene, and residents can enjoy fine dining at places like Brasserie by Niche and The Boathouse, to casual eateries like Hi-Pointe Drive-In. You also won’t want to miss out on Drunken Fish’s sushi, the city’s best, or the authentic Italian cuisine at Cunetto House of Pasta. Forest Park also boasts a close proximity to a range of boutique shops, independent stores, and large retail chains.

Forest Park is most popular for the park itself. This lush green space is also home to several museums and the Saint Louis Zoo. Those seeking a more active lifestyle will enjoy the miles of biking, walking, and jogging trails offered by the park or can tee off at the Forest Park Golf Course.
