Benton Park is a charming historic district in St. Louis City, fusing old neighborhood enchantment with the revitalization of abundant rehabbed properties. The neighborhood’s proximity to downtown attractions such as the Arch, Busch Stadium and the new Lumiere Place (about 5 min.), and easy access to the rest of the metropolitan area make it a prime locale.

Benton Parkers take pride in their patch of the city. Nestled amongst the first breweries west of the Mississippi, the area is bound by Gravois Avenue to the north, Cherokee Street to the south, 1-55 to the east, and Jefferson Avenue to the west. The Benton Park Neighborhood Association welcomes home owners, business owners and renters. Residents come together to promote the area, enhance community togetherness and plan activities. New residents and visitors are warmly welcomed.

For dine or drink, there are numerous Benton Park establishments flavored with locally owned character. Enjoy breakfast at the Benton Park Café, a renowned pretzel from Gus’s, dinner from the Park West Grille, or an evening cocktail at the eclectic Venice Café.

Benton Park boasts many historical and unique attractions. Enjoy a tour of the Chantillion-DeMeril Mansion, which houses the largest permanent collection of the 1904 World’s Fair memorabilia. For an eerie experience, visit the haunted Lemp Mansion. It’s the perfect spot for an evening out with friends at the mystery dinner theater. Really brave? You can stay the night. For shopping, visit Cherokee Street’s Antique Row, a charming strip of local antique dealers where bargains and the scent of hops fill the air. Just over the bridge lies the world famous Anheuser-Busch Brewery—stop by for a tour of the beer making process and visit with the Clydesdales.

For a neighborhood rich with history, allure and convenience, acquaint yourself Benton Park…you may want to stay awhile.
