Although one of the smaller of St. Louis' neighborhoods, Visitation Park touts an abundance of architectural, cultural and historic significance. During the 1890's and through the World Fair years, this neighborhood became home to exclusive subdivisions, small private places, as well as, prominent St. Louis landmarks. One of the last bills of Alderman C.B. Broussand was to create the Visitation Park Historic District in 1975 because the majority of its dwellings were built between 1890-1920.

This vintaged neighborhood is characterized by beautiful homes on quiet private streets; many of which have been lovingly rehabilitated, earning a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Residents are active in the preservation and development of this area. Houses vary from large turn-of-the-century to newly developed homes. Multi-family units are available and most of its apartment buildings were built during the 1910-30 period.

Visitation Park Neighborhood's location is bordered by Delmar Blvd., on the South, Maple Ave. on the North, Union Blvd. on the East, and Belt Ave. on the West. Cul-de-sacs were built at the end of the avenues to promote safety and create peaceful private places, nestled in the midst of the Academy, Central West End, DeBaliviere Place, Hamilton Heights and West End Neighborhoods.
