A welcoming community in Fox Park

Situated just 3 miles from downtown Saint Louis is the charming residential enclave called Fox Park. “Fox Park is one of the older neighborhoods in Saint Louis with large, three-story brick homes. Throughout the early 1900s, it was where most wealthy residents lived. Although it’s in South City, it has grown in popularity over the past 20 years due to its eclectic architecture and popular restaurants,” says Beth Dunlap, a long-term resident of the community. Thanks to its historic homes, upscale restaurants, friendly neighborhood association and community gardens, “Fox Park has become one of the most desired neighborhoods in town for those looking to settle down,” Dunlap says.

Walking along the neighborhood’s streets, Fox Park boasts an array of historic, electric architectural styles dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. Here, one will find a mixture of stately Arts and Crafts, Italianate, and Second Empire houses sit next to neat, red brick rowhouses. Many homes boast fenced-in backyards with off-street parking, while others have rooftop decks with city views. The median sales price for a townhouse in the area hovers around $360,000, with living spaces just below the national average at 1,848 square feet, while sale prices range from the upper $100,000s to the mid $500,000s.

Dinner dates at Little Fox

Neighbors may find themselves driving for quick grocery trips to nearby Barnett’s Market for essential items or Save-A-Lot for larger hauls. However, even the most avid home chef needs a night off, and on those days, locals should take advantage of the delicious restaurants just around the corner. The most notable restaurant in the neighborhood is Little Fox, a trendy spot with a seasonal menu and craft cocktails. “Little Fox is by far one of the most popular restaurants around town,” Dunlap says. Lona’s Lil Eats is a vegan-friendly Asian-fusion restaurant that draws crowds from all over the city. Coffeestamp is the go-to spot for a morning cold brew and bagel, while Keypers Piano Bar is full of patrons enjoying live music every Thursday.
