Homes & Real Estate

Located at the confluence of Interstates 64 and 170 immediately west of the City of St. Louis, Richmond Heights is minutes away from the airport, colleges, sports venues, many cultural attractions and the landmark Forest Park. Soon, the new “Richmond Heights” station will bring the MetroLink light rail system to the city, strengthening the community’s connections to surrounding areas.

Richmond Heights is one of the region’s most sought-after communities. It is a mature city with peaceful and beautiful residential neighborhoods. The tree-lined streets (supported by a municipal planting and replacement program) earned the city the distinction of being a “Tree City USA” – an honor bestowed on selected cities across the country by the National Association of Forestry.

Well-maintained homes in a wide variety of architectural styles help make Richmond Heights the perfect place to raise a family. Many of the homes in Richmond Heights feature characteristics associated with the Arts and Crafts period – including hardwood floors, stained glass and leaded windows, high ceilings and unique architectural styling. More contemporary style ranches, traditional two-story Tudor-style, and Georgian-style homes – even a few Mediterranean-style homes – can also be found here.

In addition to its lovely homes, Richmond Heights features a number of quaint apartments and two assisted living facilities. One of the nation’s first new high-rise, loft-style condominium projects is located here. Several similar housing developments are on the drawing board with various stages of construction slated to begin in early 2005. The Boulevard-Saint Louis will offer an upscale living experience with approximately 300 luxury rental apartments and condominiums. The Boulevard will be a vibrant community that brings together its residential spaces with lifestyle retail and restaurant space, Class A office space, and three public plazas.
