CENTRAL WEST END IN ST. LOUIS
In the 1890's, wealthy St. Louisans moved to the western edge of the city limits to the newly built mansions cropping up at the edge of Forest Park. Distinguished architecture is still the hallmark of Central West End real estate, along with the sophisticated urban lifestyle that residents relish. The historic homes of the 19th century mix effortlessly with the luxury condominiums, urban lofts, town homes and single family homes of today.
At the heart of the Central West End lies Maryland Plaza and the surrounding business district that was once a retail haven for the wealthy. Today you'll find outdoor cafes and restaurants, antique stores, galleries, chic specialty stores, and people out on the broad, shaded sidewalks enjoying the ambiance.
The Central West End is conveniently located straight across from Forest Park and just 5 minutes from Downtown and Clayton. Leading medical institutions, such as Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Children's Hospital, the Siteman Cancer Center and the Central Institute for the Deaf, are housed alongside and in partnership with world-renowned Washington University Medical Center. The Saint Louis University main campus and nearby medical center border the Central West End and are home to Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center, Saint Louis University Hospital and the Anheuser-Busch Eye Institute.
Nearby Forest Park offers biking/jogging paths, playing fields, golf, tennis and ice skating. The Norm Probstein Community Golf Course recently opened and offers banquet facilities along with 27 holes of golf. Forest Park is also home to the Dwight Davis Tennis Center and the St. Louis Aces, Steinberg Skating Rink and many of the area's cultural institutions: the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Saint Louis Zoo, St. Louis Science Center, The Missouri History Museum and Muny Opera, a large outdoor summer theater.
