Fox Park

Taking its name from the small park on Shenandoah Avenue, the Fox Park neighborhood is a residential community with a mix of elegant turn-of-the-century homes, new construction, and historic multi-family dwellings.  Anchored by the soaring 300 foot steeple of St. Francis DeSales Church and bordered by Jefferson Ave, Nebraska, Gravois and Highway 44, Fox Park is convenient to downtown St. Louis, Tower Grove Park, entertainment at Grand Center, restaurants on South Grand and four major interstate highways.  A strong sense of community and central location make the area an ideal place to live.

HISTORY

From its beginnings in the early 1880's, first and second generation German settlers (many of whom were building craftsmen) put their mark on Fox Park. Insisting on well-built and affordable homes, these early residents have left a legacy that well serves today's cost-conscious homebuyer.
