Chaifetz Arena – Relocating for a Job in Midtown
We are HUGE St. Louis Billikens Basketball fans – season ticket holders and my son is obsessed with basketball. (His team just took first place in their tournament last weekend). So when we heard that a new coach is coming to SLU, we got to work sourcing homes for someone relocating to St. Louis who wants to be no further than a 40 minute drive from midtown, specifically Chaifetz Arena. 😉
2910 MIlton – Lafayette Square
This is a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home with 3,026 sqft listed at $787,000. Lafayette Square is one of the most picturesque neighborhoods and primarily second empire architecture. It is built around Lafayette Park with a vibrant commercial district so you can walk to many amenities. It’s just a few minutes from downtown so you can catch a Cardinal, Blues or City Soccer game easily. Details
4545 Lindell – Central West End
This is a high rise condo building with elevators that enter directly into the units. Great for privacy. It’s a newer building at only about 15 years old. It has 2 large bedrooms and a den, plus an open kitchen, dining room and a primary bedroom suite and a 2nd bedroom with a hall bath. The CWE is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in St. Louis and offers an urban pedestrian experience. There are over 200 restaurants/shops/amenities within a few blocks. Forest park is just a 5 minute jog. Details
896 Victoria place – Kirkwood
This home is on a sprawling lot in one of the most popular inner suburbs of St. Louis. has a small town feel with an historic downtown at the center. Situated right between highways 40 and 44 and 270, it has a tucked away feel but it’s about 20 minutes to anything in the metro area. Details
1764 Stifel Lane – Chesterfield/Town & Country
This home is in Town and Country which is known for its large homes and large lots. This is 4300 square feet with a 1/3 acre lot and pool. Great place to entertain a lot of tall basketball players. Details
371 Galahad – Weldon Springs
On a map, Weldon Springs looks far away from midtown, but because of the Page Extension it is only 30 minutes to Chaifetz Arena. This home is on a golf course. Details
18563 Bridlespur – Wildwood
Wildwood is horse country. If you don’t want to see your neighbors this is where you want to be. Details
633 Woodchuck Lane – Lake St. Louis
This home has a gorgeous water view and lake access, if boating is your thing. Details
