Clifton Heights, St. Louis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clifton Heights, a neighborhood of St. Louis located along the southwest border of the city, is a neighborhood that is highlighted by a park with a playground and lake.
The neighborhood is mostly residential, with a history dating back to the early 1800s and houses of varying architectural styles, including some Victorians and numerous Arts and Crafts homes. The curving streets surrounding the park and the hills that slope downward toward I-44 are somewhat unusual for St. Louis City, and give the neighborhood a distinctive feeling.
