Welcome the past of Saint Louis, with the exuberance of the future!

As the logo for Benton Park West indicates, we are a neighborhood that Treasures the Past and Embraces the Future.

With historic Cherokee Street and the vibrancy of the Jefferson Avenue corridor, Benton Park West is the prime location in south Saint Louis.

Take a few moments, or longer, to find out what great things are happening in Benton Park West. Diversity of individuals working in partnership and collaboration for the good of the neighborhood along with a distinct diversity of residents and significant diversity of housing stock is what built the neighborhood and will continue to sustain Benton Park West into the future.

One of the oldest neighborhoods in south Saint Louis, Benton Park West had much German influence, the majority of the housing stock was built between the 1880s and 1930s.

Benton Park West is proud to be included in a city knows as the brick city of the USA; This 6 x 12 block area of south Saint Louis demonstrates the dramatic differences in architectural style and building sizes not only block to block, but also within the same block. Styles vary from the large two and four family buildings in the South Saint Louis style, to single family Queen Anne, French Second Century, and even single story bungalows. Many of the buildings are a mix of style and floor plans. One might see an eclectic Queen Anne on the exterior, yet the building floor plan is the classic example of a French Second Century.

Benton Park West is bounded by South Jefferson Avenue on the east, Cherokee Street on the south to Compton, then south to Potomac and east to Gravois Street on the Northwest. Click here for map.
