Lindenwood Park Neighborhood
Characteristics

66xx block of Oleatha, one of the beautiful residential streets in Lindenwood Park. With housing like this, why would anyone want to live in Clayton when there is Lindenwood?

Lindenwood Park, like most South St. Louis neighborhoods, is well-maintained, composed of well constructed brick housing stock that exemplifies the quality craftsmanship for which St. Louis is renowned. The neighborhood is primarily composed of architecturally interesting brick and stone housing built from the 1930s to the 1950s. Some new construction is evident but is limited because there is a paucity of open, undeveloped land suitable for new new housing construction.

The neighborhood housing inventory is primarily single family with some interspersed multi-family. The stability of the neighborhood is a reflection of the solid construction, attractive housing stock and Lindenwood neighbors who take pride in their property, are committed to its upkeep and are dedicated to keeping the neighborhood strong. Which begs the question, with housing like this, is it no wonder that Lindenwood is so desirable? Why would anyone want to live in Clayton when there is Lindenwood?

Commercial

Commercial establishments are located primarily along Hampton and Watson. Lindenwood has its share of fine restaurants. Most are Italian which represent a spill over influence from the famous St. Louis Italian Hill neighborhood which is closely located just to the northeast of Lindenwood. Trattoria Marcella, a restaurant at Watson and Pernod, was voted the second best overall St. Louis restaurant in the 2000 Riverfront Times restaurant poll and has an established a regional reputation and following. World famous Ted Drewes is claimed by another St. Louis neighborhood but is on the other side of the street and but a short walk for us lucky enough to be Lindenwood Park residents.
