Northampton is like a fine diamond among St. Louis’ many neighborhoods. Similar to the "5 C’s" used to evaluate the quality of a diamond, consider the following characteristics of this fine neighborhood.

Northampton is full of the Charm evoked by homes constructed in the 1920’s and 1930’s, crafted of solid masonry and accented with stained glass windows and original millwork. Stable and well-maintained homes are still cared for by origina l owners or lovingly updated by their new neighbors.

Convenience abounds in Northampton. Enjoy the ability to walk anywhere for shopping of any kind, churches, schools, and Tilles Park. If you need to travel a little further, public transportation connecting to MetroLink is a short walk aw ay. Major cultural attractions like Forest Park, St. Louis Science Center, the Art Museum, and the Zoo are a short drive up Hampton Avenue.

The neighborhood is a true Community. Enjoy an area where some residents used to play in the neighborhood as kids and now raise their families on the same streets. Older neighbors welcome younger people rediscovering the neighborhood. You will receive many a "hello" on an evening walk and meet your neighbors at a summer block party or fall festival at neighborhood churches. Don’t be surprised if you receive a "welcome" greeting card or home-baked dessert shortly after you move in.

The above "diamond points" combine to create a unique Character to this neighborhood. You may temporarily forget that you are in a major metropolitan area because of the small-town feel which fills the blocks and street corners in North Ham pton.

Finally, the area is a real Classic. Tree-lined streets, older brick homes, kids riding their bikes, neighbors walking to church or a neighborhood business ... In a fast-paced modern world, Northampton stands out as that classic neighbo rhood you grew up in or heard about. Living in St. Louis, you will call a major metropolitan area home; but in Northampton, you will enjoy the "Wonderful Life" feeling of a small town.

Northampton is like a fine gem, polished to a brilliant shine. Its enthusiastic residents welcome you to judge for yourself and experience this gem in southwest St. Louis City.
