Lindenwood Park is a neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. The Lindenwood Neighborhood is defined by Arsenal Street and I-44 to the north, Watson and Chippewa Street to the south, Hampton Avenue on the east and the city limits to the west. Lindenwood is conveniently located to downtown, Clayton, Forest Park and its attractions, The Hill with its Italian restaurants, and the Ted Drewes Frozen Custard stand on Chippewa, in St. Louis Hills.
Lindenwood Park, like most South St. Louis neighborhoods, is well-maintained, composed of well-constructed brick housing stock that exemplifies the quality craftsmanship for which St. Louis is renowned. The neighborhood is primarily composed of architecturally interesting brick and stone housing built from the 1930s to the 1950s. Some new construction is evident but is limited because there is a lack of open, undeveloped land suitable for new housing construction.
The neighborhood housing inventory is primarily single family with some interspersed multi-family. The stability of the neighborhood is a reflection of the solid construction, attractive housing stock and Lindenwood neighbors who take pride in their property, are committed to its upkeep and are dedicated to keeping the neighborhood strong.
A July 2002, review of the Lindenwood Park Neighborhood housing stock shows the following characteristics:
During the last year (6/01 to 5/02), the median home sales price is $175,000, average price is $137,000. Median sales prices are up substantially from the survey year before. Lindenwood continues to be an attractive, high-demand area in which to live, as shown by its robust housing market.
Commercial establishments are located primarily along Hampton and Watson. Lindenwood has its share of fine restaurants. Most are Italian, which represent a spillover influence from the famous St. Louis Italian Hill neighborhood, closely located just to the northeast of Lindenwood. Trattoria Marcella, a restaurant at Watson and Pernod, was voted the second-best overall St. Louis restaurant in the 2000 Riverfront Times restaurant poll. It has an established regional reputation and following. The world-famous Ted Drewes Frozen Custard stand is claimed by another St. Louis neighborhood, St. Louis Hills, but is located on the opposite side of Chippewa, one of the borders.
