Welcome to Crestwood: Missouri’s Most Decorated & Welcoming Suburb

Consistently ranked as one of the absolute best places to buy a house and raise a family in the state of Missouri, Crestwood is a quiet powerhouse in South St. Louis County.

Developed primarily during the post-WWII suburban expansion, Crestwood seamlessly blends mid-century architectural charm with cutting-edge modern growth. For buyers looking for a neighborhood where residents stay for decades, lawns are impeccably manicured, and community investments are a top priority, Crestwood is the gold standard of suburban living.

Why Buyers Fall in Love with Crestwood

• The Top-Rated Lindbergh School District: For families, Crestwood’s premier selling point is access to education. The vast majority of the city is served by the highly acclaimed Lindbergh Schools. Consistently earning "A" ratings and multiple National Blue Ribbon awards, Lindbergh ranks among the top public school systems in the state, offering exceptional academic, STEM, and extracurricular programming.

• World-Class Parks & Prop A Upgrades: Crestwood takes its 120 acres of green space seriously. The crown jewel is the 85-acre Whitecliff Park, featuring a scenic quarry, extensive trails, and the Crestwood Aquatic Center (complete with a giant slide and lazy river). Thanks to the community’s recent multi-million dollar Proposition A bond passage, the city is rolling out massive park upgrades, brand-new playgrounds, and a state-of-the-art community center.

• The Crestwood Crossing Revival: The Watson Road corridor (Historic Route 66) serves as the vibrant centerpiece of the neighborhood. The booming, mixed-use Crestwood Crossing development has breathed fresh energy into the area, bringing modern, walkable retail, popular local dining, and convenient grocery options right to the heart of town.

• Timeless Architectural Character: Crestwood is famous for its exceptionally well-maintained housing stock. Buyers will find beautifully preserved, sturdy mid-century brick ranch homes, split-levels, and charming colonials sitting on generous lots with mature trees—alongside highly desirable low-maintenance villa options.

Life in Crestwood is comfortably active and profoundly community-oriented. Weekends are made for walking the dog along Grant’s Trail, taking the kids to the newly upgraded playgrounds at Crestwood Park, or heading just past the city border to enjoy the animal encounters and historic tram tours at the legendary Grant’s Farm.
